Akureyri Botanical Garden (Lystigarður Akureyrar)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The parade garden founded in 1912 by a Danish woman (Mrs. Schiöth) is the highlight of Akureyri. The garden, which also serves as a public park, is free of charge and in very good condition. Flower lovers cannot fail to be amazed. There is a new surprise around every corner. It is not only worked with nuances in the play of colors, but the plants are also staged individually. I was really enthusiastic about the large number of gentian varieties. 🥰

Akureyri Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This is Akureyri's landmark and literally towers over the fjord and city center. Climb the steps and enjoy the view! The church was inaugurated in 1940 and designed by Guðjón Samúelsson - the same architect responsible for the famous Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík. The similarity is no coincidence!
