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

Akureyri Botanical Garden 3 km away (air distance)

The garden was founded in 1912 by a group of local women and is now home to thousands of plant species. It features all of Iceland's native plants, as well as species from the Arctic, the Alps and beyond. Because of the sheltered microclimate in the Eyjafjörður fjord, it counts as one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world.

Goðafoss 27 km away (air distance)

The falls are beside the main road between Akureyri and Mývatn, which makes them a convenient stop of about thirty to forty minutes. Walk to both sides for different views, and visit in winter to see the ice-fringed falls. Take care on the rocks near the edge, as the ground can be slippery.
