Iceland teaches you how to check in, the filming location of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Stykkishólmur Probably few people know this name, but this place is definitely not unfamiliar, this is the town where The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was filmed, this town is worth your visit~ Don't just check in and leave Practical information: 1. I didn't rent a car, I'm alone, I don't want to join a group, can I check in here? Yes, I came here by bus alone. 2. How to get there? Take bus 57 from Mjódd bus station in Reykjavik to Borgarnes, then change to bus 58 to the end point Stykkishólmur - höfnin, get off and walk 100 meters to the filming location. 3. For bus 57, you don't need to buy a ticket in advance, klappid can't buy it, just buy a ticket on the bus, swipe your card, and tell the driver directly to Stykkishólmur - höfnin when buying a ticket (if you can't read it, just show the driver the Google map), the driver will give you a 57 to 58 transfer ticket, and the driver will tell you where to get on the 58 bus when you transfer. 4. In theory, you can go back and forth on the same day, leave at 7 o'clock in the morning and arrive at the town at more than 10 o'clock, the return journey is at more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon and arrive in Reykjavik at more than 9 o'clock, but the return bus is not available every day, you need to confirm whether there is a return bus. (Google Maps and klappid are quite accurate and can check the return journey) 5. If you don't want to be a special soldier, it is recommended to stay for one to two days. I stayed for two nights directly (because of my birthday) Normally one day is also possible. 6. It must be said that in addition to checking in at the filming location, I also really like this town. There is no one when I take a walk at night, and there are almost no cars. The feeling of stepping on the snow and watching the snowflakes fall is really happy. 7. Súgandisey Island Lighthouse Súgandiseyjarviti A small hill next to the pier, you can overlook the panoramic view of the town, you can also watch the sunset, it's very beautiful. 8. Stykkishólmur Swimming Pool Open-air swimming pool, heated, how cool it is to swim in the heavy snow, you can imagine, I went, but did not swim, because I forgot to bring a swimsuit 🥹 (I hate, who can think of bringing a swimsuit when traveling to Iceland in winter?) 9. Go to the filming location of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to check in~ Don't forget your daydream. I hope you can also find your own 25th negative soon, thank you everyone!

We arrived at Stykkishlmur by boat and it has been more than 7 o'clock. It is the location of the "Daydreamer of the Day". The midnight sun shines on the island. When the boat is going to be docked, the scenery of the town is beautiful and the small houses are colored. The lighthouse on the hillside of Skkishlmur is also an iconic attraction in the town. A bit like a huge kerosene lamp, the red paint is very eye-catching. After the boat is docked, the car can be parked at the port. There is a small mountain slope on the port. You can climb the hillside and see the lighthouse in less than 10 minutes. This lighthouse is over 100 years old. Around the lighthouse, you can take a variety of photos and take all the beautiful scenery into the camera.
