Being here on 28 December,the view it’s breathtaking-literally 😅,dress well because it’s worth seeing ;the solitude and nice surroundings with the sound of the waterfall on the background will worth your visit.

Definitely one of my favourite waterfalls. Many people don't know, there is a passage where you can walk all the way down to it to take beautiful pictures on the rock. All waterfalls of Iceland are beautiful however prefer This one over Dettafoss. 😀

In my opinion, the most beautiful waterfall on the island. This site suggests positioning yourself on either side of the shore to enjoy different viewpoints of this double waterfall. It is also possible to get closer to take advantage of this magnificent place even more.

Beautiful waterfall and a great spot to see the northern lights/auroras. It is shaped like a horseshoe and is one of the most amazing waterfalls in Iceland. Definitely worth a visit and the parking lot is also quite close with amenities.

Beautiful, large waterfall about 3 minutes by foot from the parking lot. Spectacular view and not many people. Nice platforms around the waterfall that makes it a perfect spot for some cool pictures.

Beautiful scenery around the Godafoss Falls, including the greenish river water. Reminds me of my first trip to Niagara Falls many years ago. Took cruise excursion from Akureyri - 3 hour round-trip, with additional stop in the botanical gardens.

Fantastic waterfalls, they appear incredibly massive and also the story of the name is very interesting. We had the opportunity to visit It in April during a snowy and cloudy day.

Quite a beautiful waterfall. Didn't blow we away but the hike and surrounding area was lovely and to be able to go to both sides was nice. I think I preferred the EAST side where you could walk closer to the falls. Sadly the path down to the bank was roped off.

This waterfall is located in a very beautiful and peaceful area. When I visited in July, it was warm under the sun and a cool breeze blew. The rainbow that appears at the bottom of the waterfall is also pretty. In summer, there are a lot of flying insects called Midges, so you need to be careful.

Nice trekking area and spectacular waterfall at the end. There a bridge also you can enjoy. There is close restaurant if you want to buy something to eat. Trekking is not very challenging but you can spend 30-60mins.

Easy access and short walk to these lovely waterfalls. Free. You can walk both sides, I just did one, it was cold and windy.

Nice short walk around this waterfall. Beautiful views.

Nice waterfall. VERY COLD! there is a coffee shop/cafeteria close by. We took a private tour from Ayukeri from a cruise (50€ per person).

i loved Goðafoss so much me and my friends visited it while on the way to akureyri and it was such a good idea. it’s maybe a 5 minute walk from highway one and free parking and no expenses for the bathrooms. i would definitely recommend to people in the area and it’s a must see.

About an hour from Akureyri and located on the ring road, Godafoss is a stunning waterfall in Northern Iceland. The walk from the parking to the falls shouldn’t take more than 5 mins and I’d definitely recommend visiting this if you’re chasing one of the many beautiful waterfalls in Iceland.

It’s a beautiful waterfall. You will need a wide angle lens. My tour company allowed only 30 minutes or so by the fall but I suggest 1-2 hours so you can hike around and enjoy it. This fall is truly majestic. The timing was off for photographing the waterfall (timing is everything for photography ) but I enjoyed this unbelievably beautiful art of nature.

A stunning force of nature! It’s really close to the road and there is a parking place a few hundred meters from the waterfall itself, from the left (behind the gas station) you can even walk down into the canyon to get close to the waterfall from the bottom! Absolutely magnificent.

Beautiful broad waterfall. You can come very close to the water downstream the waterfall for good pictures, as well as two platforms with a great view. Toilets in the souvenir shop.

Powerful and beautiful waterfall in the North! We almost skipped this place but was so glad we stopped! The water is bright blue. Photos don’t show the true color. It was so beautiful in person. The waterfall is so massive you can see the mist a mile down the road! They have a nice sized parking lot and multiple trails/viewing areas of the majestic falls! It’s mind blowing to see how powerful nature is and when you are there in person it blows your mind to think this waterfall is millions of years old. Mighty & amazing!

Possibly the prettiest waterfall in Iceland. It was very impressive with the ability to walk along both sides of the gorge and up to near the head of the falls. It was also possible to get right down next to them. However, the steep. slippery, rocky path (with some rock stairs to help) requires good balance and mobility. There is a walking bridge over part of the ensuing rapids and falls and both sides have good paths. It's also a good area for sitting aside and contemplating nature. There is a nearby restaurant and gift shop. There were not a lot of midges in the area, and head nets were available from the gift shop.

It's very beautiful. There's a unique history of this waterfall and how it got it's name.

Amazing waterfall. Visited a few days back on beginning Jan. Definitely worth visiting

Amazing place to visit. And there is a legend behind that waterfall there are still gods. There is gift shop near the place and bathrooms. Also you can buy something to eat and drink. The prices are little bit high, but affordable. Take some nice pictures with good camera.

Looks beautiful and majestic in winter. Can’t take my eyes off but remember to put ur spikes on as there are chances of slipping down due to ice

Great place if you like places like this. It’s not big, but lovely. There are some benches you can sit on and read book in beautiful surrounding. It is free, so if you want to spend time in interesting way without spandong money, you should come here.

Stopped in the winter to visit the cafe (closed for renovations) since the much of garden was closed but did not regret it. Picturesque setting — can only imagine how beautiful it looks in summer months.

Hard to really rate in May as most of the plants are currently dead and the fountain is not flowing. Cafe looked great and some cool photo ops if you're looking for a fun instagram post.

Great Botanical Gardens , dry well kept and clean and tidy. Lots of variety of flowers , nice bedding plants. There is also Coffee shop on site and toilets. We walked from from the cruise terminal, took 20 minutes. Very well kept Gardens , worth a visit

This is the most beautiful place, the plants were very vibrant and alive which I wasn't expecting in a cold place and the vibe was peaceful and safe, there is a coffee shop, fountains and many places to take pictures. Free entry, parking, and 4 areas you can enter from.

Not much to see in March. Had a short walk around reading the signs. But looks like a cool place in summertime

Just beautiful! Lovely grounds to walk around for an hour or so. We visited early August, lots in bloom. Coffee shop in the middle of the garden so you can walk with a coffee or just chill. A lot more than expected for a Botanical Garden so far north.

The Akureyri Botanical Garden is located at 65°40′30″N 18°05′36″W and positioned on the west side of the inland end of the fjord Eyjafjörður at about 45 metres elevation. It is located in the southern part of the city of Akureyri in Northern Iceland, 50 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle.

A real gem in the city. Even in winter, it was full of beautiful plants, trees and flowers. The cafe in the park is beautiful. Really quiet and tranquil spot within the city. Cannot recommend it enough.

We walked through the gardens at the end of a long day on the bus and all of us were tired. The grounds were quite busy with locals and many visitors because it was a weekend filled with special events in Akureyri - antique auto show, college reunions, music fests, etc. The sky was overcast so the flowers did not show their best but it was obvious that in nicer weather the place would be lovely. The paths are in excellent condition so anyone with mobility issues would be able to move around. The gardens show great care and attention to detail. Some of the plants were completely new to us so the gardeners were busy taking photos and checking the apps to identify species. There was quite a crowd at the concessions stand so I passed on getting food or drink.

The most beautiful botanical garden I have been to! The grounds are kept in immaculate condition. The cafe on premise is gorgeous and has delicious coffee and cookies. I actively seek out Botanic gardens and this one did not disappoint. Certainly one of my top 5! Akureyri is such an adorable town too!

A little bit of a walk from the cruise port but DEFINITELY worth it - a super cute wonderland of local plants and flowers, very expertly landscaped. Cafe for snacks and outdoors seating and magical fairy lights along most paths. What a great gift this garden is for the city residents, kudos!

Nice FREE gardens to visit for a stroll and plenty of gorgeous photo ops. Paths to stroll and extremely well maintained. You can see the care that has gone into these gorgeous gardens. Well worth a visit….

What a treasure of a find. One doesn't tend to think of botanical gardens in Iceland, but it's a lot greener than people might imagine. Lots of bright colorful flowers - thousands. Nice walkways amongst the flowers, shrubs and trees. A lot of people picnicking in the park. A restaurant and outside pavilion.

What a exciting find! A botanic garden in Northern Iceland? Yes! It was free to walk around and it was simply stunning. Lots of Arctic and Icelandic native plants/flowers we have never seen. It was really peaceful, beautiful and neat to explore around!

Visited during winter where the flowers are left to their natural self but have identifiers. An amazing walk with great views of the mountains surrounding the city. In the summer the plants are probably very beautifull. There is a photo exposition from a local group of woman with gorgeous pictures.

Akureyri Botanic Garden is a short walk from Akureyri church and it’s free to enter. The plant life were evidently taken excellent care of by the gardeners of the place. The gardens showcase some of the native plant life of Iceland beautifully but they also had selectively chosen flora from beyond Iceland’s shores (such as Alpine plants). The gardens are a pleasant place for an evening stroll too. Akureyri Botanic Gardens are worth a visit, especially since it’s free!

Nice church is similar estructure to the one in Reykjavik. The church is under construction so we weren’t able to go inside.

Pretty interesting looking church building located on a hill with view over Akureyri.

Cool church building, similar to Hallgrimskirkja but on a smaller scale. Unfortunately, I could not go inside since the church was closed, and the church steps were closed for renovation as well.

Church is a lovely viewpoint over the town, Church itself offers something different to the usual style seen across Iceland. Clear landmark that lets you know you are in Akureyri.

A pretty nice church. Seems to be trying to contend with Hallgrimskirkja based on the style, but doesn’t really come close. Would be nice if you could go inside, but it was locked. The stairs were also under construction, so I couldn’t really get a good view of the front.

This is the Lutheran church of Akureyri. Located on top of a hill not far from the city center - in walking distance. A high building overlooking the fjord. The inside of the church is typical Lutheran and the building itself is similar to the church in Reykjavik because they were both designed by the same architect.

Beautiful church with a community feel. If you’re a churchgoer, don’t shy away from joining them in the (modern and scenic) crypt at the end for coffee and cake. Although the service is quite reserved in its style, everyone was very friendly after the service.

The most beautiful church I've ever seen!! This whole place is simply.. magical!!! Especially during night time..when the streets are filled with snow and the lights turn on. The Kea Hotel just at the foot of the church is the best place to stay because of its location. It's easily accessible, be it to the best restaurants there or the cultural center or the movie theatre. The church is additionally beautiful once the lights come up in the evening. Ps: do not miss the burger and fries at the restaurant bang opp the church (opp kea hotel).

The architectural design of the Lutheran Church of Akureyri is very unique, standing on a hill a short walk from the main centre, would recommend a visit.

Very interesting church. Great views of the city and water make the walk worth it.

Smaller than expected. You have to pay 5 Euro before you enter the church. But the design is very beautiful.

A beautiful, modern church with interesting stained glass windows. A bit strange that there’s an entrance fee, but it’s not much.

Very cool place to visit and explore. We had a great guide explaining everything, and the gift shop is delightful!

Truly amazing set of turf houses that are connected by inner doorways! A great way to see and experience how old Icelanders lived- note: this vicarage was incredibly rich and does not represent how most folks lived (in caves, at that time) but it demonstrates how clever they were!

Close(aprox. 25km) to Akureyri, if you are staying or passing by from Akureyri, you can visit to have a feeling of living style in Iceland few centuries back. Ticket costs 1800 Kr per person.

Great place to visit and learn some history if you go to Iceland

much better than expected. very interesting and historical place. not a folk dance or ant-like that. beautiful scenery too

Very interesting history of a way of living g in the past. Good docents to answer questions. Can be busy with your buses at times.

Really cute place, it was really good weather.

This place is wonderful. What looks like individual houses from the outside, is actually one large extended home via doorways. It's furnished with period pieces, and has informational plaques describing living conditions and norms. There is also a docent that will answer any questions you have. Be sure to go all the way to the back, and upstairs. Very interesting. Be sure to go into the beautiful little church, and up into the choir loft. The gift shop has a variety of local handmade items, for those that wish to bring home something more authentic.

From the outside, I thought this was four houses. It is four doors into one house. All the land around belonged to the church, and the sharecropper income set the pastor up pretty well. The house is huge inside! Fun fact: after they built the modern house they still used the old house in the winter because it is so well insulated.

VERY interesting place if you're in the area I would suggest a visit. The housing is still very much intact with MANY rooms to explore.

A beautiful chieftain’s residence to visit ! The interior is insane ! With multiple signs which explain the function of each rooms !

Such well-preserved and restored buildings. It's a great place to spend an hour to learn about the history of the area

This is a very nice place to visit. It's very well preserved and the place is so big in the inside. Definitely worth a visit

Loved this Museum and would highly recommend mend it. It was a ministers house used until 1932. It was so cool to see how big the house actually is and how people lived in them. Loved the signs on the walls explaining each room.

Loved the museum and its history. The houses are lovely to see and you can stroll through the farm and enter the different rooms to really see how they lived back than. It has an amazing view as well.

Excellent little museum with all of the icelandic aviation history condensed in one place. Really enjoyed being able to walk inside the F-27 and the DC-3

Very well maintained small Airplane museum with lots of different planes and helicopters from Iceland. All of them have a short history how they came to Iceland and how they were used. Museum is right next to the runway and if planes are landing or taking off you can watch them from close by. Very friendly staff (actually only one lady there to sell the (for Iceland) really not expensive tickets). You can spend there about 1 to 2 hours. Well worth it!

Definitely recommend this place. It can be opened on request (write an e-mail before). I will not spoil with pictures but it is a little museum which has a lot planes and other aviation related things to show.

Great museum for Icelandic aviation history. In winter, the museum only opens on Saturday, so make sure to check whether your itinerary is compatible. Entry fee is 1500ISK.

Fantastic little stop in town - would absolutely recommend for anyone who enjoys aviation, vehicles or a really well curated exhibit. The curator was present when we visited on Saturday and she was informative, passionate and happy to share a wealth of knowledge with us. Loved it!

Excellent museum. Get up close with the aircraft. Only small but a very interesting collection

Cute, little museum with many different aircraft on display that played a role in the Icelandic Aviation History. Some aircraft are still maintained airworthy (or planned to become airworthy again) and can also be visited from the inside. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Looking forward to our next visit, when the newest aircraft display is delivered from a local airline :)

Great museum with a wide array of interesting aircraft. Unexpected surprise as part of our day trip to Grimsey which ends back at the museum.

You can try to “drive” not only big beautiful plane but also big cargo cars at the yard) for kids there is an unforgettable experience)

Cool place. Many historical planes from long time ago. There are also many stories about what happened to the planes, history about some of the plane wrecks in Iceland. Information about the plane parts and stuff. 1500isk per adult.

Great place to see local North Iceland history

Very interesting and well displayed items.

At first I was not too impressed with the museum.paid 1700kr and the first floor of photographs of the industries that used to be in Akureyri and the Icelandic music scene not that interesting for a tourist. However the exhibition downstairs is much better showing the fishing industry, building recreations, old photographs etc. In addition you get to see the historic church and Nonni's house which are nearby. It's worth a short walk up the street to see the restored old houses too. So in the end I was happy with my visit.

Very well-maintained property. Easy to get to and around.

Great little museum to see local North Iceland history and a brilliant insite to life in the past. I loved all the antiques

Have some mixed feelings about this museum: the themes appeared haphazard to me. There was a large collection of all kinds of musical instruments, Icelandic bands and singers. Also a room with objects of bygone times. Funny, sure, but similar collections could be made for just any Western country.

Worth a visit. It shows how the life of a teacher was before, the space they had and you can learn about this great character.

Not worth it. Too expensive for what is offered. Toys in toys museum are standard ones which can be found in everybody home, and the main museum (where you buy tickets) contains totaly unconected exhibitions.

Lovely museum. Shows some good history about Akureyri.

A free bus or a car make the way easy to see parts of the biggest accessible collection of historic maps of Iceland. I went there twice and every time I found some new interesting aspects in the maps: new sea monsters or other historic details.

Very special little house. Gives a good feeling of the frugal and minimal living at the times, while showing off the exceptional life of a man that moved away early in life.
