Akranes Lighthouses
Breiðargata, 300 AkranesWest Iceland
The Akranes lighthouse is a delightful place to visit, any time of year. Away from the bright lights, tourists and residents flock to the site in winter to catch a glimpse of the northern lights dancing and flickering in the sky.
In the summer, you can see locals having a picnic outside the lighthouse, and guests are often invited in where they can climb to the top.
Opening hours: Summer opening hours: May 16th - September 15th, every day from 10:00-16:00 Winter opening hours: September 16th - May 15th, weekdays from 10:00-16:00, closed on weekends.
