Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Akureyri Botanical Garden 2 km away (air distance)

The Akureyri Botanical Garden, known as Lystigarðurinn, is a peaceful green space just below the town centre. Winding paths lead through flower beds, rock gardens, ponds and shady trees, with plants from Iceland and from around the world. In summer it bursts with colour, and the sheltered setting is far warmer than you would expect this far north.

Goðafoss 27 km away (air distance)

Goðafoss is a graceful, horseshoe-shaped waterfall on the Skjálfandafljót river in North Iceland. The water, pale blue and white, spills in a broad curtain over a curved lava ledge, with the sound of rushing water carrying across the plain. Paths on both banks provide different viewpoints, and the falls are easy to reach from the Ring Road.
