Some towns are old, and some are new. But in Selfoss, the past connects with the present in an utterly unique way. We look forward by looking back. 35 historic buildings, previously damaged by fire, or had fallen into disrepair, were reconstructed to form a unique cultural center. Cutting-edge architecture is set against the panorama of Icelandic history. Within a one-hour drive of all Iceland’s major nature attractions in the South. Opened in summer 2021, the new Selfoss Centre hosts shops, restaurants, hotels, and cultural activities of different kinds.
