Hofn

Höfn Airport Overview: Höfn Airport (IATA: HFN) is located on the southeastern coast of Iceland, primarily serving the town of Höfn and its neighboring regions. As a key entry point to the southeastern part of the country, the airport offers travellers a gateway to some of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders, including the Vatnajökull Glacier and the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

Distance from the City: The airport is approximately 6 km away from the town center of Höfn, making it a short and convenient drive for travelers transiting between the two.
