Travel Guide Akureyri

Find an accommodation
Akureyri, Iceland's largest city (18,000 inhabitants) excluding the Reykjavík conurbation, lies at the head of the Eyjafjörður, the "fjord of islands". Akureyri tries to give itself the air of a "big city", and the atmosphere on Saturday evenings is reminiscent, to a lesser extent, of Reykjavík. The atmosphere is different, but just as exotic and welcoming. In summer, the region enjoys a relatively dry, warm climate. In winter, the city welcomes many skiers, making it Iceland's busiest winter sports resort. Often referred to as "the capital of the North", it's a must-see.
