The Annual Viking Festival in Hafnarfjörður Town in Iceland
By Regína Hrönn Ragnarsdóttir
Verified Local
"Hafnarfjörður town, the neighbouring town of Reykjavík where I live, hosts the annual Viking Festival, which is the oldest and biggest festival of its kind in Iceland. Visiting this festival will make you feel like you have been transferred back in time a thousand years or so."
"The festival, which has been held since 1995, takes place on the second weekend of June and lasts for 4 days! For me, this is the most fun time to be in Hafnarfjörður."

I love the song Fernando. It’s a great story with beautiful harmonies.

"The battle at Stamford Bridge in 1066 is what marked the decline of the vikings, and the end of the viking era. It is also said that if the Norsemenn had won here, they would've ruled much of Britain for years to come. The king in this song, Harald Hardråda, is concidered to be the last great viking king in history."

Why are Vikings associated with dragons?
The presence of dragons in Norse mythology has shaped a lot of how we view these magical creatures today. Countless dragons were depicted in Viking tales and Scandinavian folklore over the years, and some even helped to inspire some of the most popular works of fiction of all time.
