Winter Breaks in Icelandic Schools
In February, most schools across Iceland have a winter holiday. This year’s break takes place from February 18 to 27, making it a perfect time for a short family getaway.
Akureyri is a popular destination for families during this period.
Visitors come to enjoy, among other things:
* Skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Hlíðarfjall, one of Iceland’s top ski resorts
* Swimming and water fun at the geothermal Akureyri pool, which includes slides, hot tubs, and pools for all ages
* Ice skating at local rinks and other outdoor winter activities
* Scenic winter walks and cozy cafés
Winter break is also a great opportunity for families to explore cultural sites and museums, and to enjoy the picturesque snowy landscapes of North Iceland.
