Remembering My Exploration of Akureyri, Iceland

After visiting Akureyri a few years ago during my road trip around all of Iceland with my friend Sari, I can say I agree with this article – Akureyri is a great town, in an amazing location. During my time there, I stayed with friend Joseph, and explored the city center. Looking forward to going back sometime soon!

My favorite travel blog, Gadling published last week this list of five awesome things about Akureyri:

Akureyri is Iceland’s second city. It’s not Iceland’s second largest city in terms of population – that honor goes to Kópavogur just south of Reyjkavík – but it is the country’s second city in cultural terms. Akureyri may have just 18,000 residents but with its range of tourist facilities, restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and cultural institutions, it possesses a certain urban atmosphere.

3. Northern lights
4. Kjarnaskógur Forest
5. Flóra
