Akoreyri, the capital of the North

>Akureyri, often called the capital of North Iceland, is a vibrant town set at the head of Eyjafjörður, one of the country’s longest and most beautiful fjords. Surrounded by snowcapped mountains and calm Arctic waters, the town blends natural drama with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere. Despite its northern location, Akureyri enjoys a surprisingly mild climate, allowing colorful houses, cafés, and one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world to flourish. The town serves as a cultural and economic hub for the region, offering museums, galleries, music, and a lively harbor that reflects its strong connection to the sea.
