1. The War & Peace Museum is only 45 min from Reykjavik. Great option for a day trip. It is located in Hvalfjörður and is packed with beautiful landscape and history. The War & Peace Museum traces a unique and remarkable history of occupation from 1940 to 1945, a story that transformed a more peaceful countryside into a setting for world events and was crucial to the Allies' victory during World War II. Here you can see an elaborate collection of monuments and memorabilia related to the history of the occupation of Hvalfjörður during these fateful times of turmoil. There is also a coffee house with cakes and more , that are home baked. Next to the museum is a swimming pool that is great to have a swim in.

About Akureyri

Akureyri, at the head of a long fjord in North Iceland, is a small northern town with a hillside church, a botanical garden and big mountain views.

Akureyri lies at the head of Eyjafjörður, one of the longest fjords in Iceland, with snowy mountains rising on both sides. It is the largest town in the north and is often called the capital of North Iceland. The Akureyri Church, a stark concrete building designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, stands on a hill above the centre at the top of a broad flight of steps, and the botanical garden is one of the most northerly in the world.
