Join me for a walk around the 'Capital of North Iceland', Akureyri! Situated some 250km northeast of the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, Akureyri is a real hidden gem, the largest city in the country outside of Reykjavik, and home to stunning scenery, riveting history and a unique population. On our walk around Akureyri, we pass a number of fascinating landmarks, including Akureyri Harbour, Eyjafjörður, Hof Cultural Centre, Oddeyri Point, Nýja Bíó Cinema, Ráðhústorg, Hafnarstræti, Græni Hatturinn (The Green Hat), Akureyrarkirkja (Akureyri Church), Eyrarlandsvegur, The Outlaw Sculpture, Akureyri Menntaskólinn (Junior College), Akureyri Botanical Gardens, Eyrarlandsstofa, Spítalavegur, Grásteinn, Akureyri Old Town, Laxdalshús, Breiðigangur (Broadway), Aðalstræti, The Old Hospital, Akureyri Toy Museum, Statue of Jón Sveinsson (Nonni), Nonnahús, Minjakirkjan, Akureyri Museum, and Útþrá.
