Travel Before: Akureyri

Akureyri Iceland

Akureyri is a town in the north of Iceland. It's the second largest urban area in Iceland and the fourth largest municipality. Often referred to as the Capital of North Iceland, Akureyri is a significant port and fishing centre. Akureyri is a very picturesque town with its location by a scenic fjord, eclectic building styles and streets winding their way through gorges. Spend some time walking around the town centre, see the impressive church and Listagilið (literally "the art canyon"), home to a number of arts and crafts galleries and shops. The peaceful municipal botanical garden, Lystigarðurinn, is worth a visit, as are the several small museums scattered around the town.
