Gásir is the site of a medieval trading post, located 11 km north of Akureyri. In July, locals stage medieval reenactments here. At other times of year, it is a sparse area. It is also a reasonably good place to view the Northern Lights if you do not want to drive a long distance from town. You can pull into a parking area after dark.
Gásir or Gásakaupstaður was a medieval trading post situated 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north of Akureyri on the coast of Eyjafjörður, in Northern Iceland. Gásir is recognized as an Icelandic heritage site, and the Akureyri Museum hosts events at its location, in addition to providing online information about the former training post.
