Guide to Visit Iceland

Iceland is one of the most incredible places on Earth, and it’s also an incredibly accessible destination. Whether you’re traveling solo or with your family, our guide to visiting Iceland will help you plan a trip to remember!

Travel to Iceland

Iceland is an island country in the North Atlantic. It has a population of about 332,000 people, and its capital city is Reykjavik.

Iceland is part of Europe and its official currency is the Icelandic krona (ISK).

The main airport for international flights to Iceland is Keflavik International Airport (KEF). You can also fly into Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport which only serves domestic flights within Iceland.

Flying to Iceland

When you’re ready to book your flight, there are a few things to consider.

First, decide if you want to take a direct or connecting flight. If it’s possible for your itinerary and budget, look for airlines that offer direct flights from where you live (or will be flying into) directly into Keflavik International Airport near Reykjavik. This will cut down on travel time and cost by eliminating the need for transfers in other countries. If this isn’t an option, try connecting through one of Icelandair’s hubs in Europe–the airline flies from Germany, Sweden and Denmark directly into Reykjavik as well as London Gatwick Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Transportation in Iceland

Driving in Iceland is not for the faint of heart. The country’s roads are narrow, winding and sometimes curvy, which makes it difficult to pass other vehicles when you’re driving on the right side of the road. It’s also important to note that gas stations are few and far between in Iceland–so make sure you have enough fuel before heading out on your journey!

The best way to get around Iceland is by renting a car (or campervan). There are several rental companies available online as well as at local airports and hotels; they’ll provide everything from basic economy models all the way up through luxury SUVs with GPS systems installed–so no matter what kind of trip you’re planning or budget constraints may be holding back from buying one outright yourself then renting one will help alleviate those concerns while still affording some freedom during exploration! Plus there’s nothing better than taking pictures while exploring new places 🙂

Accommodation in Iceland

There are several options for accommodation in Iceland, and we’ll cover them all below.

• Hotels: There are a lot of hotels in Iceland, but they don’t all offer the same experience. If you’re looking for luxury and comfort at a price that won’t break the bank, then look no further than the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel Reykjavik Natura or the Hotel Hafnarfjordur (pictured above). If it’s more of an adventure than luxury that turns your crank, try sleeping under canvas at one of these campsites: Camping Kaldalón (near Husavik), Camping Laugaskarði or Camping Vatnajökull Glacier Adventure Basecamp

Getting Around Iceland

• Public Transportation

If you’re going to be traveling around Iceland and staying in cities, then public transportation is the way to go. You can take buses or trains from one city to another at a relatively low cost compared to renting a car or flying tour. The only downside is that schedules are usually not very flexible and if you miss your bus/train there may not be another one coming for hours (or days). However, if this isn’t an issue for you then this option will save you lots of money!

• Renting A Car/Bike/Hitchhiking

If your plans include exploring remote areas like national parks or fjords outside of Reykjavik where buses don’t go then renting a car might be best for you! Renting out cars is pretty cheap but make sure that they come with insurance because accidents happen! There are also bicycles available for rent which would be perfect if there wasn’t so much rain during summertime 🙂 Hitchhiking could also work since people tend to be friendly here but remember never accept rides from strangers!

A guide to visit Iceland

• Pack for the weather. You can find a detailed weather forecast for any location in Iceland on the website of The Icelandic Met Office (http://en.vedur.is/weather/forecast/).
• Take your time to see the sights and enjoy yourself, but don’t forget to pack enough food and water if you’re going out into nature on a long hike or expedition.* Be aware that many museums will be closed during wintertime (November-April), so plan your itinerary accordingly.* The best way to get around Iceland is by renting a car – it’s easy to navigate around town because everyone drives on the right side of the road! However, if you prefer not having your own vehicle while traveling abroad then consider taking public transportation instead – buses run frequently between major cities; however they may not stop at smaller towns so make sure you know where each one goes before boarding one.* You’ll also want access internet during most days since there isn’t much cell phone service outside capital city area
