Introduction
If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Iceland, this is the guide for you. It’s packed with tips and tricks for planning your trip and making sure it goes off without a hitch. I’ll share everything from how to pack your bag to what to eat at each meal (yes, even breakfast).
What to Pack for Iceland
- Pack for all weather conditions. It can get cold, wet and windy in Iceland so make sure to pack clothes that will keep you warm when the temperature drops.
- Pack for the season you are going to visit. If you’re visiting during winter season (December-April), then pack warm layers like sweaters, jackets and thick socks; if it’s spring or summertime then bring light clothing such as shorts/tshirts/tank tops etc..
- Pack according to activities planned while there: If hiking/exploring nature trails then it’s best to wear hiking boots or waterproof shoes with good grip on slippery surfaces; if swimming in natural hot springs then bring swimsuits along with towels and soap/shampoo etc..
Getting to Iceland
Getting to Iceland is easy, but you may have some questions about the best way to do it. Here’s what you need to know:
- There are several airlines that fly between Europe and Iceland. These include WOW Air, Norwegian Air and Icelandair. The latter two offer cheap flights from the US as well, but they will probably require you to change planes in Europe or at least one other location during your trip (and don’t forget about the extra fees). WOW Air only flies direct from Boston, Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). If your destination isn’t one of these locations then I’d recommend booking through another airline instead because WOW Air has higher prices than its competitors and has had some problems with cancellations due to weather conditions in recent years.*
- July through August are typically considered peak months for tourism in Iceland; however June may offer better deals on hotel rooms during this time period due to fewer visitors during those months compared with July-August periods.* It’s important not only where but also when you visit because many roads close during winter due to weather conditions such as snowstorms or ice storms that make driving dangerous!
Choosing a hotel in Iceland
Choosing a hotel in Iceland is an important decision. You want to find one that’s close to the airport, with a hot tub and close to restaurants, bars and shops. You also want one that has great reviews!
You’ll be glad you did your research when you arrive at your hotel and realize just how much time this saved you; after all, we all know how important it is for travelers not only enjoy themselves but also maximize their efficiency while traveling!
Where to eat in Iceland
The best way to get a taste of Iceland is through its food. You can find traditional Icelandic cuisine at most restaurants, but there are also some fantastic options for more modern takes on local dishes.
For example, if you’re visiting Reykjavik or anywhere else in the capital area and want something that’s both delicious and affordable (and maybe even free), stop by Kaffi Bolos for soup made from lamb neck bones or fresh fish. If you’re looking for something more upscale but still very affordable, try Dill Restaurant & Bar where they serve delicious fish dishes like salmon served with greens and potatoes alongside their signature dill sauce. If seafood isn’t your thing then why not try some smoked puffin instead? It might sound weird but this dish actually tastes amazing!
If it’s not already obvious by now: Icelanders love their lamb meat so if there’s any type of meat dish available then chances are high that it will contain some sort of lamb product as well as vegetables such as cabbage or carrots–which makes sense given how cold winters here can get!
Top things to do in Reykjavik
- Take a walk on the beach.
- Go to the Blue Lagoon for some relaxation and rejuvenation, or just to take pictures of yourself in front of it.
- Explore the city center and get lost in its quaint streets and hidden gems (like our favorite little bookstore).
- Visit HallgrÃmskirkja church for its breathtaking architecture, or go up there at night to see Reykjavik from above while enjoying a drink at their bar/restaurant on top!
Top things to do in the Golden Circle of Iceland
The Golden Circle is a popular tourist destination in southern Iceland. It’s a circular route of sights, and the most common way to visit it is by car or bus tour. The Golden Circle includes Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall–three of Iceland’s most iconic attractions.
If you are looking for ways to experience nature at its finest without having to book flights across continents or spend hours hiking through rough terrain then this might just be your next destination!
Top things to do in South Iceland
The south is a great place to visit. There are many things to see and do, and it’s a good place to visit in the winter and summer. You can even visit all year round!
