Húsavík
Húsavík is considered the best whale-watching destination in Iceland. It’s located in the northeast of the country and has a population of around 2,500 people. Legend has it that it was the first ever Norseman settlement.
During the summer, an impressive 95 percent of boat trips spot whales, which boosts the town’s reputation. Another peculiar attraction is the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which features the largest display of penises in the world (from 93 species of animals).
