## Getting ashore

Ships dock at Akureyri, the largest town in the north of Iceland. The port is a short walk from the centre.

## Watch-outs

Your ship crosses the Arctic Circle on the way in, and a 'Polar Bear' ceremony is often held on board. Weather in the north can be changeable, and the roads are long.

## Akureyri

The town is a pleasant northern centre, with a botanical garden, colourful houses and the Akureyri Church, which is on a hill above the town.

## Godafoss

[Goðafoss](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Akureyri) , the Waterfall of the Gods, is about 45 minutes away, with a short walk to the falls.

## Mývatn and the lakes

Lake Mývatn has geothermal areas, lava pseudocraters and birdlife, reached by road in about an hour.

## Whales and the fjord

Whale-watching trips run from the harbour in season, with minke and humpback whales.

## Food & shopping

Icelandic food includes lamb, fish stew and skyr. Cafés and restaurants in the town are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The currency is the króna. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, and cash is rarely needed. Mobile data is good.

## Accessibility & mobility

The port and the town are mostly flat. Goðafoss has steps down to the viewpoints. Ask your operator for accessible vehicles.
