Located in the northern part of Iceland, and we had to cross into the Arctic Circle to get there! My wife and I enjoyed the views late at night well past midnight, at it was still daylight, because of the midnight sun. In Akureyri, we went on a 3 hour Whale Watching tour which I booked independently, which was great with snow cap mountains in the background. We did see lot of whales, their body length coming out of the water and their tail fin, but none breached. Then once back to the town we walked around on our own, saw a couple of churches (Akureyrarkirkja, St Peter’s Catholic Church), Botanical Gardens, and also had icecream at a popular icecream shop called Brynja.
