Akureyri is Iceland’s second-largest city, a port on the Eyjafjörður fjord on the north-central coast. A bustling center of commerce and tourism, it’s clean, pretty, modern and surrounded by beauty. Friendly people, great food, lots to do, oh, and also the home of Viking Brewery 😁

| The two-story gold can used to have a Viking label, but was being repainted (wasted that walk)… |
For being <100 miles from the Arctic Circle their botanical gardens were amazing!
 |
| Great representative photo of what the gardens are like five months out of the year and what’s required to get them into summer shape |
 |
| They’ve gathered Arctic plants from across the planet, some extremely rare! |

And the food?
 |
Barely room for Belgian waffle under all that bacon!
|
 |
| Simply the BEST salmon I’ve ever eaten…moist, almost buttery, perfectly grilled |
Thinking Akureyri might be my favorite town so far…
