    Tips

    July 8, 2019

    Akureyri is the second largest city in Iceland after Reykjavík metropolitan area. The center is small but has its charm.

      The city is a good starting point for other attractions in northern Iceland, such as the waterfalls Aldeyjarfoss and Goðafoss and Lake Mývatn with its volcanic phenomena and Húsavík for whale watching.
      Akureyri is only about 50 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.
      The church, which was inaugurated in 1940, is worth a visit.
      The church is simply called Akureyrarkirkja ("Akureyris Church").

          The largest northernmost city in Iceland. A very beautiful city center with many opportunities for shopping, enjoying or sightseeing.
