Top Rated Attractions in Akureyri

Search Radius (Miles)
Akureyrarkirkja (Akureyri Church)

Dominating Akureyri's coastal skyline, this church of the same name is a picture of startling symmetry and grandeur. Designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, the church boasts an exceptional facade, but also holds ornamental masterpieces within its interiors. From a splendid 3200-pipe organ and bas-reliefs on the nave balcony, to a rustic hand-made ship symbolic of a Nordic tradition, various elements adorn the hallowed halls of this hilltop church. The stained-glass window that forms a defining feature of the church's nave is sourced from the Coventry Cathedral in England, where it was part of a beautiful set. An imposing structure during the day, the church makes for a stellar sight at night when it is illuminated by soft amber lights.

Akureyri

A scenic town huddled close to the Eyjafjörður, Akureyri brims with a spirited energy that belies its small-town existence. Perhaps some of its zest can be attributed to the relatively milder climate it enjoys, featuring a picturesque, ice-free harbor and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. From whimsical museums and regional art galleries, to homegrown cafes and a thriving cultural scene, the town seems to have it all. Part of the town blossoms into a veritable garden mid-summer, when the Akureyri Botanic Garden is carpeted with choice blooms. Come winter, the buzz seldom quiets down, with the advent of winter festivals and games like the Vaka, a folk art event. As one moves to the city's outskirts, verdant expanses like the Kjarnaskógur call for attention, while the Hlíðarfjall mountain draws skiing enthusiasts to test their mettle on Iceland's famous icy slopes.
