Hi, I'm a study-abroad student here in Akureyri, and I went out last night and had a little too much fun, which culminated in me throwing up all over my coat, which can only be dry cleaned. I searched for dry cleaning in Akureyri, but the only place that came up had horrible reviews, and I know there's no way there is only one spot for dry cleaning in a city this size, so I'm looking for some local help finding a spot.

Hi everyone. I have been considering moving to Akureyri, but before making any decisions, I wondered about the social life there for people in their late 20's who are childless. My lifestyle is overall pretty chill, but if I were moving there on my own it would be useful to know how easy it is to build up a community there. Any insight is welcome, thank you!

Hello all,

I was in Akureyri with my girlfriend last December, what an amazing experience. We had the best time seeing the northern lights, going in the hot springs and exploring the city. On our last morning we went to the art museum in Akureyri. We had a look in the shop and ate at the cafe which was lovely but we were too early for the main museum to be open. In the shop my girlfriend found the book ‘She is my Sweetheart for 50 Years’ and absolutely loved it. She thought that it was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. She would have loved to own it if she could have bought it. Now we are back in the UK and her birthday is coming up. I’ve tried to get in contact with the museum to ask about getting the book sent to the UK but no luck. So, I’m reaching out to this community as a last ditch attempt. Is there anybody that is willing to get in contact with me to organise getting the book sent to me in the UK?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, would you recommend Eyjafjörður or Husavik for whale watching in late April? I believe Eyjafjörður can offer better dramatic views and has calmer waters during that time? Not sure if that would affect it. Thank you!

It's my girlfriend's 40th next week and I'm thinking of taking her on a last minute surprise trip to Akureyi.

Firstly, is it a good place for such an occasion?

Would we be ok without a car?

Where should we stay? (Ideally under or a little over £100 per night). Any accomodation recommendations? I saw some lovely looking places across the lake but it doesn't appear there's any public transport?

I'd prefer quiet and secluded but I don't know if that's feasible (is mid town ok? Any building works going on at the moment if any is there?)

Any top tips for 3 full days there?

Thanks all in advance!

Hi! I have recently moved to Akureyri. I wanted to ask if there are PL fans to watch games at pubs or wherever they transmit it. I am myself ManUtd fan, but i am also down to watch some Nothingham-Burnley stuff too;)

This is the least amount of snow around the ski-are I can remember.

Hello, I’ve lost my phone (One Plus) a few hours ago in Akureyri, possible in the parking lot of Orkan, where the Sprettur-in restaurant is (this is the last time I used it and couldn’t find since). I’ve been looking in the car and around the area but is nowhere to be found.

It has a photo of my girlfriend on the wallpaper.

My flight back home is for tomorrow night, and in case someone from here founds it, please contact me 🙏🏻 Thanks!!

It's been like this for 2 days now

What jobs are in demand there? Im not lookjng for anything extreme. Just a simple day to day job. Im wanting to train in carpentry maybe. Is that something in demand there?

Also, are there places to live for a low/forgiving price. Obviously im not looking for hotels and such, but like a flat or something of the sort. Im not bothered by the lack of things to do there or the cold and i really like the look of this town, so please let me know. The main thing id like to know of is the occupations in demand. Thank you

Hi!

I’m applying for exchange to Iceland in 2026. I am trying to decide between the University of Akureyri and University of Iceland. Can you guys describe what’s the life like in Akureyri for uni students/for generally? I’m from Finland so I think I won’t have problem with the weather :)

Hey,

Just wondering if there are any nightclubs in Akureyri and how the general nightlife is?

Thanks

Is there anyone going from Akureyri airport to the city center tomorrow around 12, and from the city center to the airport around 11:30 on Wednesday (8 January)? There is no airport bus running (I emailed Sysli, no luck) so I would be very grateful for any assistance...I have one suitcase and am traveling on a budget, trying not to walk into Akureyri in freezing weather.

Hi everyone,

We’re visiting Iceland for the first time, and tomorrow we have a flight departing from Akureyri Airport (AEY). We didn’t expect transportation to be so tricky here, and the only taxi we could book gets us to the airport 45 minutes before departure.

This has us feeling a bit anxious🥺—will that be enough time to check in and go through security? I know Akureyri is a small regional airport, but I don’t want to risk missing the flight. • Has anyone had a similar experience flying out of Akureyri? • How long does check-in and security usually take there?

Any advice or reassurance would mean a lot. Thank you so much!🫶🫶

Hello! I'm planning on visiting soon, I've been trying to research the best place to stay and what I find is quite expensive. I was thinking perhaps it's easier to ask the locals lol.

Is there a hotel or hostel in town that is budget friendly? I saw the backpackers hostel is like 90 CAD a night. Is there anything more affordable?

Hey! I was in iceland and i lost my mothers scarf somewhere near Götubarinn and the backpacker, anyone seen it? I can pay to get it shipped back to canada Please let me know!

hi
