Nowhere. Arrived saturday at 20pm and everything was closed. Not that the city has much to offer, so everything is not much. But bring your own food. |

Nearby (one or two fjords to the east, about 20 minutes away in car) there is a natural hot pot and also a pool warmed from the same source. If you come by Bildudalur, go check that out, it is free and you will most likely be all alone in the fjord. |

Bildudalur is a very small town of less than 100 people. The only restaurant is just in front of the hostel and closes at 6 PM. We got there in time and had an excellent dinner. Most of the people staying at the hostel brought there own food and cooked using the facilities at the hostel. |

There is none in the town. It is a beautiful location and in the summer the sun is out until late. Therefore a nice walk or hike is the best thing to consider. Fantastic picture opportunities of the mountains and fjords. |
