The center is usually open year-round, with extended summer hours (approximately 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and shorter winter hours. It is located in the heart of the town, near the harbor; you can check updated hours on the official Grundarfjörður website.

Access to the tourist information area and map consultation is completely free. However, there may be a small fee if you decide to visit specific fairs or cultural exhibitions, such as those on local heritage, which are sometimes hosted there.
