Welcome to the snow

This winter has brought much less snow than previous years, with weather so mild it felt almost springlike.

Many of the old houses in Akureyri are covered with corrugated iron, a material traditionally used for roofing and farm buildings.

Hint of spring

A beautiful hint of spring is in the air these days, even though we are still in the midst of winter.

Ash Wednesday

We've had a busy week! Monday was Bun Day (Bolludagur), Tuesday was Meat Soup Day, and today is Ash Wednesday.

How to get here

  • There are several airlines flying directly to Akureyri which is the easiest way of visiting, but flying to the main airport Keflavík in the south of Iceland is also an option and then either take a flight from Reykjavík to Akureyri which takes about 40 minutes or drive/take a bus for aprox 4.5-6 hours along main road 1.  More information here.
