The Akureyrar church is the symbol of Akureyri. It is a Lutheran church and was disigned by architect Gudjon Samuelsson and concecrated in 1940. The central stained glass window above the altar formed a part of a set originatin gfrom England. The bas-reliefs on the nave balcony are by sculptor Asmundur Sveinsson and the baptismal font is a replica of a work by scultor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
The church is located in the town center. There's a tradition in Iceland to walk up the steps to the curch and counting the many steps.

The garden is one of the northern most botanical gardens in the world. The public park was opened in 1912 but the botanic section in 1957. There are about 6600 alien taxa growing in the garden in beds and nursery and around 430 species of the native taxa. The park is very popular both by locals and visitors.
The Botanical garden is equally popular with the local population and visitors to Akureyri. A wide variety of both Icelandic and foreign flora is to be found there and new species ar always being added to the collection. The garden, therefore, is an excellent choice for those wishing to take a break from the stress of daily life, playing as they do, the role both of a peaceful public park and also a beautiful plant collection.
The Garden is open 1st of june to 30 september. On weekdays from 8:00 to 22:00 and at weekends from 9:00 to 22:00

I learned soon to like planes and where usually taken to our next airport to see planes land and take off. I thank it all to my dad's enthusiastic for airplanes and still is ;) So I have to recomend our aviation museum in Akureyri.
The Aviation Museum in Akureyri, founded on 1 mai 1999 and formally opened 24th of june 2000, the story of aviation in Iceland is traced right up to the present time. Numerous photographs and detailed text present a realistic and interesting account of pilots in their everyday activities. And where pictures and imagination end, concrete reality takes over. The museum contains many types of aircraft; for example, a plane of the same kind as the first aircraft in the possession of Loftleiðir Airline as well as Iceland's oldest ambulance aeroplane and the first glider built in Akureyri 1937.
Opening hours:
1. june - 30. september. Daily from 13-17 and by arrangement.
Winter: Open saturdays from 13:00 to 17:00 and by arrangement.
