Its stunning, scenic landscape feels out of this world.<\/p><p>Iceland quickly became one of my favorite countries after my first visit.

in Iceland<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/icelandguide1.jpeg\" alt=\"The beautiful blue J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n lagoon in sunny Iceland\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Visit the M\u00fdvatn Nature Baths<\/h5>\n\n<p>M\u00fdvatn is quieter and less expensive than the famous Blue Lagoon (more on that below). The water from the underground hot springs is pulled from depths of up to 2,500 meters (8,202 feet) and reaches 37\u201339\u00b0C (98\u2013102\u00b0F). The pool\u2019s iconic milky blue color is created from the reflection of the sun on silica-rich water. Grab some local geyser-baked bread that they sell at the little cafe and relax, or enjoy a cocktail from the swim-up bar. After your soak you can head in for a geothermal steam bath, naturally created from the steam that rises through the floorboards. The Northeast area of Iceland where the pools are located is abundant with wildlife, so you might even spot local birds while you swim. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/myvatn-nature-baths-l164818\/myvatn-nature-baths-entrance-ticket-t110131\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Admission to M\u00fdvatn Nature Baths<\/a> is 7,000 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See the Northern Lights<\/h5>\n\n<p>Seeing this natural phenomenon was one of the most awe-inspiring things I have ever witnessed. Aurora Borealis is named after the Roman Goddess of dawn and the north wind. They are a stunning sight that is caused by electrically charged particles as they speed into the earth\u2019s atmosphere. They\u2019re only visible in the arctic regions of the world, as the earth\u2019s magnetic field is weaker there. The lights are best admired in remote places away from city lights. The best time to catch them is from mid-September to mid-April. However, it depends on the weather. The longer you stay, the better your chances. If you don&#8217;t have a car, you can take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/reykjavik-l30\/northern-lights-bus-tour-t67019\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik<\/a> for 8,650 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Tour Reykjavik<\/h5>\n\n<p>Reykjavik is awash in cozy cafes, high-energy clubs, friendly pubs, and brightly colored wooden row houses. It\u2019s super small and worth a few days to get a feel for the art and cafe culture of the city. Reykjavik translates to \u2018smoky bay\u2019 and was named for the steam that rises from the hot springs. It\u2019s the northernmost capital of the world and despite its intimate size, the city is home to about 60% of Iceland\u2019s population, making it one of the liveliest places in the country. Foodies will love the ever-expanding culinary scene where you can try options ranging from fine dining to tasty street food. If you\u2019re a night owl, you\u2019ll love the party scene here but be warned: they don\u2019t go out until about midnight and drinks aren&#8217;t cheap!<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Check out the J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n glacier lagoon<\/h5>\n\n<p>Located in the southeast of Iceland within Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, this ice flow is one of the most popular attractions in the country. It\u2019s the deepest lake in Iceland and is formed from the melting glaciers. Deep blue water is littered with icebergs which move through the lagoon towards the Atlantic Ocean, and you might spot seals perched on floating chunks of ice or swimming in the frosty water. Over the past 50 years the lake has grown significantly due to rising temperatures and currently covers 18 square kilometers (11 square miles). I enjoyed just sitting down and listening to the ice crash into each other on its way out to sea. For an up-close look at the glaciers, consider exploring the lagoon by boat.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. See the waterfalls<\/h5>\n\n<p>Iceland is the king of waterfalls with over 10,000 cascades to explore. Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfall in Europe with a huge volume of water cascading over the falls every minute, at 45 meters (147 feet) tall and 100 meters (328 feet) wide. Gullfoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland and is close to Iceland\u2019s famous golden circle (its name translates to \u2018golden waterfall\u2019). Seljalandsfoss is beautiful and you can walk behind the falls to get up close and personal with the powerful water. And then there&#8217;s Skogafoss which can be found along the Sk\u00f3g\u00e1 River, and Svartifoss, which is surrounded by towering black cliffs.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div><style>.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id28780_030002-33 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column28780_bd7a35-10\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_1d6c5c-4b\">Other Things to See and Do in Iceland<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Soak in the Blue Lagoon<\/h5>\n\n<p>While I found the M\u00fdvatn baths to be a more relaxing and less expensive option, you cannot deny that Iceland\u2019s most famous geothermal pool is the country\u2019s top tourist attraction. It might be crowded and expensive, but there\u2019s nothing like it in the world. This huge, milky-blue spa is fed by mineral-rich heated seawater from the nearby geothermal plant. Add the silvery towers of the plant, rolling clouds of steam, and people covered in white mud, and you\u2019ll think you\u2019re in the twilight zone \u2013 in a good way! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/blue-lagoon-reykjavik-l5049\/blue-lagoon-entry-ticket-with-drink-towel-and-mud-mask-t393203\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Admission with a drink, towel, and mud mask<\/a> is 14,300 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Take a Game of Thrones tour<\/h5>\n\n<p>The harsh climate north of the Wall in HBO\u2019s hit series was predominantly filmed in Iceland. Explore the film locations on a guided tour, with both single- and multi-day options available, to get a behind-the-scenes look at this epic series. You\u2019ll get to see where scenes from The Bloody Gate were filmed along with spots where the Wildlings roamed south of The Wall. An 8-hour day tour starts at 17,370 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Explore Thingvellir National Park<\/h5>\n\n<p>This national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site is interesting for two reasons: it\u2019s the original site of the longest-running parliament in the world (Vikings held political meetings here in the 10th century), and it\u2019s also where the North American and European continental shelf plates are being torn apart (you can actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/reykjavik-l30\/diving-silfra-day-tour-t11710\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scuba dive between the plates<\/a> for around 35,000 ISK). It&#8217;s one of the main stops in the Golden Circle and has several trails if you want to get out and stretch your legs. There are also some campgrounds here if you want to stay the night. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. See Maelifell Volcano<\/h5>\n\n<p>Found in Myrdalsj\u00f6kull Glacier Park north of Vik, Maelifell&#8217;s perfect cone shape gives this volcano that &#8216;classic&#8217; volcano look. During the summer, snow melts to reveal a lavish green surface covered with moss. There is plenty to do and see in the surrounding park which is full of volcanoes, hot springs, and hiking trails. During the winter, a lot of the roads in the park close, so the summer season is the best time to go if you want to see the volcano up close. You can get to the volcano in 90 minutes by car from Vik.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Check out the geysers<\/h5>\n\n<p>Volcanic activities underneath the surface of Iceland have created a lot of geysers, underground springs, and thermal pools. Strokkur, in the southwest of Iceland, is currently the most popular geyser in the country. It erupts every 15 minutes and shoots a spray of water over 10 meters (32 feet) into the air. Geysir (from which the English word geyser is derived), was the first popular geyser known to tourists, though it no longer erupts frequently (you can still visit it though). There is no admission to see Strokkur (or Geysir, which is nearby). Arrive early to beat the hordes of tourists that come by bus as this is a main Golden Circle tourist stop.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Drive the Golden Circle Tourist Trail<\/h5>\n\n<p>The Golden Circle is a 230 kilometer (140 mile) route that includes some of the most popular sites near Reykjavik, including Gullfoss, Thingvellir, and Geysir\/Strokkur. This is the main route for tourists visiting for just a day or two and lots of tourist buses drive this route. Other stops include the Keri\u00f0 volcano crater, Hverager\u00f0i greenhouse village, Sk\u00e1lholt church, and the Nesjavellir or Hellishei\u00f0i geothermal power plant. If you have a vehicle, start your day early to beat the buses. You can drive the whole route in a few hours. If you don&#8217;t have your own car you can take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/reykjavik-l30\/grand-golden-circle-tour-t67012\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guided tour of the Golden Circle<\/a> for 10,150 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Hike the Laugavegur trail<\/h5>\n\n<p>This 55 kilometer (34 mile) trail runs between Landmannalaugar and \u00de\u00f3rsm\u00f6rk and is a popular hike. Considered one of the most extraordinary hiking trails in the world, it offers a gorgeous variety of landscapes, including mountains in various colors, hot springs and glaciers, rivers, and lakes. Its well-worn trail, cozy huts, steady stream of trekkers, and frequent signposts make it a relatively safe and logistically easy venture. Huts are available to rent and range between 7,500-13,000 ISK per night, depending on location. You can also camp in the designated areas outside the huts for just 2,800 ISK. You can hike the entire trail in 3-5 days.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Hike the Fimmv\u00f6r\u00f0uh\u00e1ls Trail<\/h5>\n\n<p>If the full Laugavegur hike is too much, try your hand at the shorter (but equally as stunning) Fimmvorduhals trail. Stretching between \u00de\u00f3rsm\u00f6rk and Sk\u00f3gar, this trail can be done in a day or broken up into a two-day adventure. You can either camp or book one of the mountain huts located along the route. Just be aware: the huts sell out fast! The trail is moderately challenging so you&#8217;ll need to have solid footwear and be in good shape. Make sure you have rain gear as the weather can change quickly. Hiking is free if you don&#8217;t camp and there is a bus that can take you from \u00de\u00f3rsm\u00f6rk back to Sk\u00f3gar if you parked your car there (it&#8217;s 8,000 ISK each way).<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Go fishing<\/h5>\n\n<p>Iceland is famous for its fish. With tons of salmon, trout, cod, and haddock, fishing here is incredibly popular and a big part of Icelandic culture and cuisine. You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/reykjavik-l30\/sea-angling-gourmet-tours-from-reykjavik-t99021\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fishing tours from Reykjavik<\/a> as well as more remote destinations like the Westfjords. They&#8217;re pretty much available everywhere! These include all the gear you\u2019ll need for the adventure and some even include a fresh seafood lunch. Expect to pay between 17,000-22,000 ISK for a three-hour fishing tour.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. See the Skaftafell Ice Cave<\/h5>\n\n<p>These beautiful ice caves in Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park attract adventurers from around the globe. I absolutely love this cave! The caves are part of the largest ice cap in the country and the second-largest in all of Europe. They are only accessible in winter. Guided tours take you into the caves where, armed with an ax and crampons, you can explore this otherworldly landscape. Tours start at 20,200 ISK per person and last around 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Go whale watching<\/h5>\n\n<p>Iceland is home to some 20 different species of whale, as well as dolphins and harbor porpoises. Minke, fin, and humpback whales are the most commonly seen, and orcas and sperm whales appear regularly as well. Though rare, you may even spot blue and fin whales during the summer months. Beluga Whales and Narwhals are occasionally spotted in the north of Iceland, but there is a sanctuary on the Westman Islands where you can see two female Belugas. The prime whale-watching season is from April to September, with most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/reykjavik-l30\/reykjavik-small-group-whale-watching-cruise-t278482\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tours leaving from the south (Reykjavik)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/akureyri-l2028\/3-hours-akureyri-classic-whale-watching-t69424\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">north (Akureyri)<\/a>. Tours start around 12,000 ISK and go up from there. They usually last 2-3 hours. If you\u2019re here during the season, you have to go.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Visit Landmannalaugar<\/h5>\n\n<p>Located in the interior highlands, these multicolored rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and volcanoes are a popular tourist destination for anyone looking to get off the main tourist trail. The striking landscapes look like a different planet. Horseback riding trips can be done here, starting at 11,000 ISK for a one-hour guided tour. For a short day hike, try the Sulpher Wave Trail. It takes around two hours. Note: to get here you need to drive on F-roads, which means you&#8217;ll need a 4&#215;4 vehicle.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. See Kirkjufell Mountain<\/h5>\n\n<p>Near the small town of Grundarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in western Iceland, this iconic mountain juts out from the landscape. Surrounding this striking mountain are a bunch of waterfalls. If the weather is clear and dry in the summer months, you can hike the to the peak. The round trip will take 3-4 hours and the trail has 463 meters (1520 feet) of elevation gain. The path can be steep and narrow and is not recommended if there\u2019s rain or snow. If you come in the winter, it&#8217;s a gorgeous place to spot the northern lights. The mountain is one of the most photographed sights in all of Iceland (you&#8217;ve probably seen it on Instagram).<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Hike the Snaefellsnes peninsula<\/h5>\n\n<p>Stretching out from the west coast, this peninsula is topped by a large national park (and my favorite). It\u2019s a gorgeous place to take a hike or a stroll along the windy and winding coast. There are numerous hills and mountains to climb, including Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kull. I really enjoyed the hike out to the Londrangar Cliffs where you get to watch the wild Atlantic Ocean crashing against the volcanic cliffs. This hike is about 4 km (2.5 miles) round trip and only takes a couple hours to complete. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous (and have the money!) book a glacier walking tour for 17,000 ISK. These tours take you out over the remote glacier where you can hike, peer into crevasses, and learn about this martian landscape.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Search for puffins<\/h5>\n\n<p>Puffins can be spotted nesting all over Iceland between mid-April and mid-August. The larger populations are found on the Westman Islands and in the Westfjords, as well as in certain parts of the East Fjords. While you can try and spot some yourself (ask locals for help!) you can also book a tour to see them up close. Tours cost around 8,900 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Take a culinary tour<\/h5>\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about Icelandic cuisine and try some local favorites, take a culinary tour in Reykjavik. Companies like Wake Up Reykjavik take you to 5-6 local restaurants for a 3.5-hour tour for around 16,900 ISK. You can try local dishes, learn how they are made, and get first-hand experience of Iceland&#8217;s unique cuisine. They\u2019re great!<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Visit the National Museum of Iceland<\/h5>\n\n<p>This museum in Reykjavik contains informative exhibits about the first settlers to the island, Christianity in Iceland, the island under both Norwegian and Danish rule, and the independence movement. While not terribly large (you can probably get through it in a couple of hours at the most) it\u2019s a fascinating visit if you are interested in knowing more about the history and culture of the people. General admission is 2,500 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Take a course at the Icelandic Elf School<\/h5>\n\n<p>The Icelandic Elf School is a school that teaches students and visitors about Icelandic folklore. They teach about the &#8220;hidden people&#8221; and the 13 different kinds of elves that the school believes inhabit the country of Iceland. This is probably one of the strangest things to check out while in Reykjavik, which makes it one of the best. While the 9,550 ISK cost might be a little high, you also get a meal of pancakes and jam, teas, and chocolates to go along with the 3-4-hour lecture!<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Visit the Penis Museum<\/h5>\n\n<p>The Phallological Museum, colloquially known as the Penis Museum, is a small institution home to the world\u2019s largest collection of penises and penis-themed art. There are almost 300 items in the museum, including whale penises and (allegedly) troll penises! It\u2019s a small museum (no pun intended) but it\u2019s incredibly informative. Definitely worth a visit! Admission is 3,300 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><style>.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id28780_a63170-46 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column28780_9089e4-41 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column28780_9089e4-41\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_89427f-22, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_89427f-22[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_89427f-22\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_89427f-22 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_89427f-22[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_89427f-22\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading28780_89427f-22 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_89427f-22\">How to Stay Safe in Iceland<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Iceland is the safest country in the world! You will not be the victim of any crime here. There&#8217;s no murder here and no petty crime. I mean I wouldn&#8217;t leave your valuables unattended but that&#8217;s not because of locals but because of travelers! Your biggest concern here is the elements. Iceland&#8217;s environment can be harsh and unpredictable, especially in the winter. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.vedur.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iceland Meteorological Office<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.road.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration<\/a> are two valuable websites to check in with as you travel.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you go out hiking, bring water, sunscreen, and rain gear. The weather can change rapidly.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you rent a vehicle, make sure you are careful with the doors. The wind here is extreme and can rip car doors right off your vehicle (this is surprisingly common). Always make sure you have comprehensive insurance coverage when you rent a car.<\/p>\n\n<p>F-roads (rugged dirt roads) should only be driven on with a 4&#215;4 vehicle. Don&#8217;t try driving on them without one!<\/p>\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, be sure to follow standard safety precautions (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For specific information about a place, check out one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n<p>Scams here are non-existent, but if you\u2019re worried about getting ripped off you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.

Almost everything is imported, taxes are high, and there&#8217;s not a lot of local industry. But that doesn&#8217;t mean the country has to break the bank. In fact, there are many ways to save money in Iceland thanks in part of all the free outdoor activities you can do! Here are a few ways to cut down your costs:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Hitchhike<\/strong> &#8211; Iceland is one of the easiest and safest countries in the world for hitchhikers (in fact, it\u2019s the safest country in the world!). You can find rides throughout the country, though it\u2019s especially easy in the southern part of Iceland. While harder, it\u2019s also not impossible to find a ride in the off-season or in the less populated northern regions. One way to find rides is by asking around in hostels \u2014 people are usually driving the main Ring Road (M1) that circles the country. That\u2019s how I found my rides.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Bring a water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The water in Iceland is incredibly clean and drinkable. In fact, you can fill up directly from streams and rivers! <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to company for reusable water bottles as their bottles include built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Camp<\/strong> &#8211; Camping is available everywhere in Iceland. You can camp in designated campgrounds for under 2,400 ISK per night for one person and some hostels allow you to put up tents too. You\u2019ll need to have your own gear and sleeping bag. If you plan on camping often, consider purchasing the Campingcard as it can save you quite a bit of money.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Bring your own sheets<\/strong> &#8211; Like in other Scandinavian countries, many hostels in Iceland charge you a fee for bed sheets if you don\u2019t have your own (pillows are free!). Linen fees usually begin at 1,350 ISK; however, some hostels are starting to include them for free. Usually, they will allow you to bring your own blankets but not a sleeping bag.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t drink<\/strong> &#8211; Due to high taxes, it\u2019s very expensive to drink in Iceland. Save money and don\u2019t drink. Ok, maybe once in Reykjavik since its nightlife is world-famous. But other than that, don\u2019t. You\u2019ll save a bundle and feel a lot better. No one wants to hike a volcano with a hangover!<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; Be sure to sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points when you travel. Most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free when you sign up, which helps lower your costs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post can help you get started with the basics<\/a> so you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Cook your own food<\/strong> &#8211; With dining out being so pricey, I found the best thing to do is go grocery shopping. Buy everything you need (such as eggs, cereal, pre-made sandwiches, and pasta) and cook it yourself. Most hostels, guesthouses, and campsites have kitchens. Shop at BONUS food stores as they have the cheapest prices.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Eat hotdogs<\/strong> &#8211; If you are going to eat out, eat at the sandwich and hotdog stalls you find throughout the cities. They offer the cheapest (although, not the healthiest) food in the country. You can also find cheap hotdogs at many gas stations, too.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; Iceland has a very active <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> community. I stayed with hosts in Reykjavik and Akureyri. Getting involved with the community here is a surefire way to save money, get local insights, meet wonderful people, and get a free place to stay.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Use Samferda<\/strong> &#8211; This website can help you find passengers (or rides). It&#8217;s especially popular in the larger cities and it&#8217;s cheaper than the bus.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p><em>(<strong>Hey there! Wait one second!<\/strong> Did you know I also wrote an entire guidebook to Iceland filled with &#8211; not only even more detailed information on the things included on this page but also itineraries, practical information (i.e. hours of operation, phone numbers, websites, prices, etc.), cultural insights, and so much more?

Bus fare is 650 ISK.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Bus<\/strong> &#8211; Using buses to travel around the country is the best option if you don&#8217;t have a car. The Str\u00e6t\u00f3 bus network goes all around the country (though some regions aren&#8217;t covered and routes can be a little infrequent).<\/p>\n\n<p>A bus from Reykjavik to Akureyri costs 13,200 ISK, while Akureyri to Husavik is around 3,000 ISK. Reykjavik to Vik is 8,400 ISK. Keep in mind though that these are public buses that will get you from point A to point B \u2014 there are no stops at attractions.

A flight here would allow you to cross the entire country in about 30 minutes. If you\u2019re short on time but still want to visit the north, flying is your best option.

You&#8217;ll get the best results hitchhiking solo or in pairs; groups are rarely picked up as cars here are small. <a href=\"https:\/\/hitchwiki.org\/en\/Iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hitchwiki<\/a> has a lot of information on hitchhiking in Iceland.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><style>.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id28780_d29e72-21 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"when\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column28780_3333b5-24 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column28780_3333b5-24\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-92d7936f heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading28780_6689be-eb\">When to Go to Iceland<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Your experience in Iceland will be largely influenced by the time of year you visit. June to September is the best time to visit, as temperatures are pleasant and average between 10-15\u00b0C (50-59\u00b0F). The days are long and the sun only sets for a few hours. This is also when tourism is at its busiest. You\u2019ll want to bring rain gear for the 9-12 days that get rain every month during the summer.<\/p>\n\n<p>The spring and fall months (shoulder season) are both excellent times to visit as well. You\u2019ll still get 10-14 hours of daylight every day, so there\u2019s plenty of time for outdoor activities. It is wetter than summer with 10-15 days with rain every month so make sure to pack plenty of layers. The crowds have thinned out, and although temperatures are chilly \u2014 ranging from 4-7\u00b0C (40-45\u00b0F) \u2014 there&#8217;s still a lot of sunshine. You&#8217;ll also get cheaper accommodation too.<\/p>\n\n<p>Winter (from October to April) can be harsh, but it&#8217;s still an interesting time to visit. The days are short and temperatures drop below freezing. With only four hours of daylight or less, it\u2019s not ideal for outdoor activities. However, there are plenty of opportunities to see the northern lights. Driving conditions are hazardous though so this isn&#8217;t a good time to rent a vehicle.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Iceland Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.
