ICELAND: Streetart Akureyri - Urban Art at the Gateway to the North

Akureyri is the second largest city in the country with a population of around 19.000 and is considered the “gateway to the north.” It is located at the end of the picturesque Eyjafjörður fjord and impresses with its colorful houses, which are often built in traditional Icelandic architecture. Attractions include the church Akureyrarkirkja, a landmark of the city, the botanical garden, considered the northernmost of its kind in Europe, and the lively Hof cultural center, which regularly hosts concerts and exhibitions. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby Goðafoss waterfall and the opportunity to observe the northern lights in winter. These urban artworks were photographed by traveller and streetart lover MAZZANTI.
