"Akureyri offers unexpected moments of big-city living, complete with gourmet restaurants, a handful of art galleries and something of a late-night bustle..." says BBC Travel about one of their latest discoveries, the charming capital and surroundings of Iceland's second city, Akureyri.

BBC Travel also recommends one of our members, Skjaldarvík guesthouse, near Akureyri for accommodation and horse riding trips.

We heartily agree that Akureyri and the north is a great destination worth exploring! Not the least in winter for activities such as skiing and Northern Lights viewing.
