Central crash pad
Akureyri is lauded as the gateway to Iceland’s rugged north – and it’s a great pick for an Icelandic adventure. Hotel Akureyri – a quirky hotel spread across four buildings – has got a spot right in town, just a stone’s throw from the shores of Eyjafjörður, the longest fjord in Iceland.
This place is pure crash pad – great for getting a good night’s sleep after a day spent exploring. Alongside a clutch of fuss-free rooms, the hotel also owns the restaurant next door, where you can choose from a menu inspired by the local landscape with a real focus on a seasonal, sustainable approach to dining.
Once you’ve checked in, the real adventure begins. Whether you start by ticking off all the museums in town or making your way around the Diamond Circle’s waterfalls and canyons, you’ll soon see why Akureyri is giving Reykjavik a run for its money.
