The districts of Akureyri are: Innbær, the oldest part of town on the strip of land between the hill and Pollurinn south of the central area; Brekkan, on top of the hill; Oddeyri on the peninsula with the same name; and Glerárhverfi on the north bank of the Glerá (also referred to colloquially as Þorpið, 'the Village').
Del morja med Oddeyri in koncem fjorda se imenuje Pollurinn (Bazen), in je znan po mirnih vetrovih in kot dobro naravno pristanišče.
