Akranesviti is a prominent lighthouse located in Akranes, Iceland, serving as both a navigational aid and a cultural landmark. The site features two lighthouses: the original, constructed in 1918, and a larger one built in 1944. The latter has been open to the public since 2017 and often hosts art exhibitions and concerts, taking advantage of its exceptional acoustics.

Visitors can ascend the lighthouse to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding areas, including Reykjavík, Mount Esja, Faxaflói Bay, and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula with the Snæfellsjökull glacier. The lighthouse is renowned for its unique acoustics, making it a popular venue for musical performances.

Akranesviti is one of the few lighthouses in Iceland regularly open to tourists, attracting thousands of visitors annually. The surrounding area offers scenic coastal trails and opportunities to observe local wildlife, making it a worthwhile destination for those exploring the region.
