Sprengidagur: Iceland’s “Bursting Day”

Romance in the North

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — what could be more romantic than a getaway to Akureyri?

Happy Bóndadagur!

Bóndadagur literally means “Farmer’s Day” — a traditional Icelandic day dedicated to the men of the household.

How to get here

  • There are several airlines flying directly to Akureyri which is the easiest way of visiting, but flying to the main airport Keflavík in the south of Iceland is also an option and then either take a flight from Reykjavík to Akureyri which takes about 40 minutes or drive/take a bus for aprox 4.5-6 hours along main road 1.  More information here.
