Religious or not, it does not matter. Walking up the stairs to the church is a great way to take in some fresh air and get a great view over the harbour and fjord.

A must place to see for all visitors, regardless of when you visit Akureyri. A great atmosphere and a lot to see and taste :-) Located a short drive out of town - but worth the short drive/taxi ride

Great coffee and snacks. A nice place to visit to have drinks, grab a book from the shelves (yes you can read them without buying) and watch the locals :-)

I would recommend this place in the evening, the basement (the name is Græni hatturinn) is known to have an ambitious program of music performers. Many well known but seeking that off venue experience
