The best area to stay in Hals is generally within the main village centre itself, particularly around the harbour and the main street, Gamlavegur.


This central area of Hals is quite compact and offers direct access to the harbour, which is a focal point for local activity and offers views of the sea. Gamlavegur, the main street, runs through the village and is where you'll find the local shops, cafes, and restaurants. It's a convenient base for exploring the immediate surroundings on foot.


For couples looking for a relaxing and convenient stay, the village centre is ideal. You'll be within easy walking distance of quality dining options and can enjoy strolls along the waterfront. Many of the guesthouses and hotels here offer comfortable accommodations with easy access to the village's amenities.


Families might also find the village centre suitable, especially due to the ease of accessing local facilities and places to eat. While Hals itself is a smaller community, staying centrally means less travel for meals and activities within the village.

The best time to visit Hals is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.


During this period, the average temperatures range from 10°C to 15°C, making it pleasant for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the natural surroundings. You'll experience nearly 24 hours of daylight in June and July, often referred to as the Midnight Sun, which allows for extended sightseeing opportunities. This is ideal for travellers who want to maximise their time enjoying the Icelandic landscape and its unique phenomena.


For those interested in whale watching, the summer months also offer the best chances to spot various species in the nearby waters. Boat tours typically operate frequently from the local harbours, providing excellent opportunities to see these magnificent creatures. This period is particularly good for families, as the warmer weather and longer days make excursions more comfortable and enjoyable for all ages.


If you're keen to see the Northern Lights, the winter months from September to March are more suitable.
