Akureyri guide

Please select your preferred Industry

Akureyri is a town in the northern part of Iceland; it is the second largest urban area after Greater Reykjavík area but is the fourth largest municipality in Iceland after Hafnarfjörður, Kópavogur and Reykjavík. As of the April 1, 2008 census, the town had a total population of 17,304.

It is surrounded by mountains, the highest being Súlur 1213 m (3980 ft) and Hlíðarfjall 1116 m (3661 ft). There is a narrow coastal strip of flat land; inland is a steep but low hill. In earlier times a few spits of land (Icelandic: eyri, thus Akur-eyri) jutted from the narrow coast, but a lot of land has since been claimed from the sea so that today the coastline is more even except for the largest, Oddeyri, which was formed by the river Glerá which runs through the town.

The town has an airport that is mostly used for domestic flights but occasionally international flights use the airport as well. Air Iceland flies several times a day to Reykjavik, but there are also flights to Grimsey, Vopnafjörður and Þórshöfn. Scheduled flights from Akureyri to Copenhagen began on May 30 2006, operated by Iceland Express, and are now flown during the summer. The port of Akureyri is a vital structure for the town which largely bases its livelihood on fisheries. It is the site of a few large fish processing plants and trawlers come there to unload. The port is also very important for tourism as many cruise ships stop in Akureyri during the summer months. The port is important for freight handling. The Akureyri Webcam
