3 Day Winter City Break in Akureyri

Stay a few days in Akureyri, the capital of the North with a population of about 18.000 being the largest town outside the greater Reykjavik area, it is a centre of education, culture, commerce and services for North Iceland.
The towns’ old part with wooden houses is particularly charming when snow has covered the ground. Just a short distance away you can find Mt.Hlíðarfjall above the town boasting the best skiing area in the country, offering good slopes for alpine skiing and treks for cross-country skiers (weather permitting;  November-April).
Not far away from the town, you can discover some of the most beautiful natural sights, and these are particularly fascinating to visit during winter.

Highlights

  • Akureyri, capital of the north
  • A close look at a typical Icelandic farm and animals
  • Panoramic winter views of North Iceland
  • Chance for skiing at Mt.Hlíðarfjall
  • Goðafoss waterfall
  • Lake Mývatn
  • Volcanoes and lava fields

Daily Itinerary

Day 1, Friday:
Flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri and transfer to the city. We start a 4-hour tour of Akureyri and the surrounding area. During the tour, we drive through the old centre with charming old houses that are surrounded by lush vegetation. The church of Akureyri towers over the downtown area. In clear weather, we drive up to the hills above Akureyri from where we get a great view over the town and the fjord. Then we head on for one of the valleys in Eyjafjörður area where we also visit one of the typical Icelandic farms, enjoy light refreshment and get the chance to meet with the local people.
After the tour, check in at the hotel in Akureyri and the rest of the afternoon free to explore the town centre, visit the local swimming pool or possibility for skiing at Mt.Hlíðarfjall, weather and snow permitting.
In the evening possibility for optional Northern Lights tour if weather permits.
