Meeting people in Akureyri, answered

How do I meet people in Akureyri?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Salsa & Bachata Social at Vamos.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

I've just moved to Akureyri. Where do I start?

Choose "I live here" above: your first month in Akureyri, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
