If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 25 miles away, Akureyri is worth hopping in the car for. Akureyri Church, Akureyri Botanical Garden and Sulur alone make the drive out worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Myvatn, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Lake Myvatn. (But we’d also recommend Dimmuborgir and Hverfjall Crater.)
