cruisesusie Posted January 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2016 We're sailing to Iceland/Norway on Caribbean Princess in September. Does anyone know how far the ship docks from town center in Akureyri? We're interested in going to the Botanical Garden which is a 10-15 minute walk from the town center.

Follow the blue dotted line to walk in to town toward the white church on the hill. Go up the steps (only about 100 of them!!) ,pause for a breather at the top, then follow the path to the left side of the church, then follow the road to the Gardens. I would allow 30 mins for the whole walk...those steps are steep!... and of course, you can pop into the church for a look round.

PeetNL Posted January 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Here's a view from the other side towards the quay and the village. The garden is located on the far left side of the photo. Edited January 29, 2016 by PeetNL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan2010 Posted January 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Spend some money and go on the longest ship tour of the Lake Myvatn area. This is an incredible region with a wide variety of sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
