Religious or not, it does not matter. Walking up the stairs to the church is a great way to take in some fresh air and get a great view over the harbour and fjord.

The Akureyri church set on a scenic place mid uphill is lit up year round and is an emblem of Akureyri in the minds of Icelanders. The steps up to the church are the venue of a yearly race and a fun exercise. The view from the church steps over town and Eyjafjordur fjord and vicinity is well worth the walk.
