Visit Eiríkstaðir – Viking Longhouse of Eirik the Red and Leif Eiriksson

Step back in time and experience daily life during Iceland’s Settlement Era at Eiríkstaðir, the reconstructed Viking longhouse of Eirik the Red, father of Leif Eiriksson, the first European to set foot in North America. Located in the scenic Dalir region of West Iceland, this immersive museum offers visitors a chance to walk in the footsteps of the early settlers.

Expert guides in traditional Viking clothing welcome you into the turf-roofed house, where you’ll hear fascinating tales of exploration, survival, and discovery. The smell of firewood, the feel of handcrafted tools, and the warmth of the storytelling make this a truly memorable and interactive historical experience—perfect for all ages.

Whether you’re a fan of history, Norse mythology, or simply want to imagine life in the 10th century, Eiríkstaðir brings Iceland’s Viking roots vividly to life.
