Nestled in northern Iceland, Akureyri is the country's fifth-largest municipality and an important port and fishing centre. With settlement dating back to the 9th century, the town was granted a municipal charter in 1786. Its strategic location - with an ice-free harbour - played a significant role throughout history, including serving as an airbase for the Norwegian-British No. 330 Squadron RNoAF during World War II.

Today, Akureyri is a thriving centre for the surrounding agricultural region, with its population steadily growing. Visitors to the town can enjoy a relatively mild climate, thanks to geographic factors that temper summer and winter extremes.

When to visit Akureyri

For those seeking the best time to explore Akureyri's natural beauty and warm-weather activities, consider visiting between July and August. During these months, the climate is mild, and rainfall is minimal. However, late July offers the warmest temperatures and the least precipitation.

October is the wettest month, while March provides the most affordable hotel prices. It is advisable to avoid travelling to Akureyri between January and May, as the weather is less inviting during this period.
