Akureyri Botanical Garden

Free admission to this garden, which was awesome! It’s was great checking out all types of plants here that some of them I had never seen before. The place itself was pretty big too, offering a cafe, 2 greenhouses, a statue of the original owner of the place, and a fountain. Some of the flowers pictured below were some of my favorites, since they looked gorgeous! Highly recommend stopping by, especially since admission is free!

Beautiful little Botanical gardens in the middle of the city. Easy to get to a great place to bring the kids and family. Nice cafe right there. If the weather is nice. Definitely trying to make this a stop. And it's free!

I'm not sure how to summarize how stunning the Akureyri Botanical Garden is in person. P.S. The price is right - free! As a tourist, I was taken back by the beauty of Icelandic flora. Also, Iceland seems to have some of the happiest, most content bees I've ever witnessed. Good on ya, Iceland! I was mesmerized by all the different variations of flowers. The Akureyri Botanical Garden was the best place I visited in Akureyri. It's absolutely worth a visit. I would go back again and again! 🌸🐝

Beautiful garden! A lovely place to spend an hour or more, walking the trails and seeing the different flowers. Note: Some of the trails are not wheelchair accessible, but you can still see a fair amount if your chair can go over gravel. The cafe onsite is cozy and provides excellent food and drink. I had some delicious avocado toast there as well as the best hot chocolate I have ever had. The gazebo with stained glass is a nice photo spot.

This is a must do if you are in town and it’s the summer months. The range of flowers were just amazing. I saw flora I have never seen before in my entire life. The grounds were great and really well maintained. The cafe at the garden was beautiful and quaint. It was a hike uphill to get here from the cruise port so we opted to take a taxi, which was very easy to do from the port and to return to the port. Just get the cab’s business card so you can contact them when you’re done (WhatsApp is usually best). My husband and I were with my three year old and they both enjoyed the gardens. I’m so glad we decided to come here. It was a highlight of the trip!

These gardens are STUNNING! Don’t miss if you are a flower garden fan. I visited August 5, 2025). My pix do not come close to capturing how nice this place is.

My visit to Akureyri Botanical Garden in late June was perfectly timed as flowers were just starting to unfurl their beauty. It’s an incredibly peaceful place, ideal for an hour of quiet exploration among the varied plant species. I found myself constantly discovering new favorites around every bend. The presence of an interesting cafe right inside adds a unique touch, perfect for a refreshing break. This garden provides a serene escape, offering both natural beauty and a relaxing environment. A truly delightful and calming experience!

Amazingly gorgeous flowers! The grounds are laid out in wonderful little areas to discover. We were there in July and it was gorgeous!
