Akureyri is Iceland's second city, sitting at the head of the Eyjafjörður fjord in the north of the island. The midnight sun in summer, whale watching in the fjord, and the Mývatn geothermal area nearby make it a spectacular base for exploring Iceland's less-visited north. The city's botanical garden is the world's northernmost, and the Akureyrarkirkja church overlooks the town from its hilltop.
Best time to visit
June–August for the midnight sun and outdoor activities; February–March for Northern Lights and skiing.
Travel tip
Akureyri Airport has direct flights from Reykjavik (45 minutes); a car is essential for exploring the surrounding region.
