The Westfjords are in the far northwest of Iceland, a sparsely populated, rugged territory intertwined by fjords.
By plane
From Reykjavík you can take a domestic flight to Gjögur, Bíldudalur (via Eagle Air) and Ísafjörður (via Icelandair).
By car
Once you are at Reykjavík there is at least a 320-km drive to the Westfjords.

There are buses from most of the main towns in East Iceland and Southwest Iceland to the Westfjords.
