Despite being only 100km from the Arctic Circle, Akureyri actually enjoys some of best weather in Iceland. With such gems as Lake Mývatn and its impressive surroundings nearby, Akureyri provides an excellent shore excursion base.
The town itself is small and easily explored on foot and is without a doubt one of the most interesting and beautiful towns in Iceland.
Physically challenged guests might find the steep hill up to the church/swimming pool/botanical gardens rather difficult to negotiate due to its steep incline.
