Workation in Akureyri: the essentials
At the head of the long Eyjafjörður fjord, Akureyri is the largest town in Iceland outside the capital region and an important fishing port. Its hilltop church, botanical garden and small university give it more urban life than its size of around 20,000 suggests. The Hlíðarfjall ski area lies just above town, whale-watching boats leave from the harbour, and Lake Mývatn is within day-trip range. Winter days are very short. Akureyri Airport, about 3 km from the centre, handles mostly domestic flights, and Reykjavík is a long drive away on the Ring Road.
