In-Depth Information
around eighteen thousand and is a transport hub and commercial centre for the whole
of northern Iceland. If you're doing much touring, you're almost certain to find yourself
in Akureyeri sooner or later, as the town makes an excellent base from which to explore
nearby Lake Mývatn, Húsavík and the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park (all covered in
Chapter 6); Akureyri can also be useful as a departure point for tours into the Interior.
The town is divided into two distinct areas: the centre, harbour and commercial district

Akureyrarkirkja church, museums and the superb botanical garden can all be found. As
