About Nonnahús

Nonnahús in Akureyri is a museum devoted to the life and work of the children's author Jón Sveinsson, known as Nonni, who grew up in this part of town before travelling far from home. The house he lived in as a boy is kept much as it would have been in his childhood, so a visit is a step straight into the world his books describe. Rooms are furnished in period style and small exhibits tell the story of the man and the stories that made him famous far beyond Iceland. Because it stands in Akureyri's old town, the museum fits easily into a walk through the historic streets, and it appeals to readers who grew up with the Nonni books as much as to anyone curious about the town's literary past. A visit is quiet and compact rather than grand, which is exactly what makes it memorable. The guesthouses and apartments around it let you stay a few minutes' walk from the door.

Tips for staying near Nonnahús

  • Nonnahús is a small museum, so mornings tend to be calmer than afternoons. If you are staying in one of the apartments within 600 m, arriving soon after opening lets you see the rooms before groups build up.
  • Akureyri's weather changes quickly even in summer. Layers and a waterproof outer jacket make the short walks from hotels like Viking Akureyri apartments or Old Town Luxury Apartment Akureyri far more comfortable.
  • If you drive, choose a hotel with parking rather than circling the old town. Sæluhus Hotel Apartments & Houses, Hoepfner Historical House and Akureyri Holiday Apartments all list free car parking.
  • Families and groups should book apartments with kitchens early. Family apartment hosted by LL, Akureyri Holiday Apartments and Acco Guesthouse list family rooms or kitchens, and these fill up first in the high season.
  • Guests with an early flight should pick somewhere close to the museum the night before. Stays within 600 m make for a short, unhurried morning transfer, whatever time you leave.
