Iceland’s second-largest city, Akureyri is often referred to as the “Capital of the North.” Located at the base of Eyjafjörður fjord in northern Iceland, it’s rooted in Viking history with origins dating to A.D. 890. One of the country’s longest and most scenic fjords, it’s considered one of the best places to observe humpback whales. The city also boasts a vibrant arts scene and a botanic garden with over 430 native species that benefit from a favorable microclimate. Take advantage of free city bus transportation.
