Start with a wander
Make your way through the town centre, stop for coffee and browse the shops. Take a walk towards the harbour for a view along the fjord, or explore the older streets at a gentler pace.
Enjoy a day in Akureyri, then return to your own woodland retreat. About 20 km from Lundskógar, the town brings cafés, galleries, restaurants and a harbour to explore, with plenty of ways to make the day your own.

Art and a garden walk
Visit the Akureyri Art Museum and the galleries around Art Street, then make time for the Botanical Garden. In the growing season, its planting brings colour and texture to a leisurely walk. Check museum hours and exhibitions when planning your day.
Do as the locals do
A swim is a lovely way to break up the afternoon. Akureyri’s geothermal swimming pool is open year-round, with outdoor pools, hot tubs and water slides. Bring swimwear and leave time to linger.
Stay for dinner
Akureyri offers plenty of choice for an evening meal. Pick somewhere that suits your group and book ahead when you have a particular restaurant in mind. Or gather ingredients for dinner at the villa and enjoy your own table overlooking the valley.
An easy arrival back at the house
The route between Akureyri and Lundskógar uses the Vaðlaheiðargöng toll tunnel. Arrange the toll at veggjald.is and check your rental company’s arrangements. Use the villa’s map pin for the final approach home.
