Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Iceland

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Iceland?

    For hidden gems, consider the less-visited Westfjords, with their dramatic landscapes and charming fishing villages like Dynjandi. The stunningly beautiful Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers more than just the usual tourist trail. Explore its fissures and lava fields for a truly unique experience. For a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, head to the remote highlands, accessible by 4x4, for breathtaking views and a sense of isolation.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Iceland?

    Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main international airport and the most convenient for most travellers. It's well-connected to Reykjavik and other parts of the country.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Iceland, cash or card?

    Cards are overwhelmingly preferred in Iceland. Most places readily accept contactless payments, and it's rare to find a place that doesn't take cards. Cash is rarely needed, except for perhaps smaller, independent stalls or very remote locations.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Iceland?

    Road conditions can vary greatly depending on the season and location. In winter, especially in the highlands, icy and snowy conditions are common. Driving habits are generally safe, but visitors should be prepared for gravel roads, sheep crossings, and sometimes challenging weather. A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended for venturing outside the main ring road.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Iceland?

    Report the loss to the nearest police station immediately. You'll then need to contact your embassy or consulate for assistance with obtaining emergency travel documents. Make sure to have copies of your passport readily available before your trip, and consider keeping digital copies in the cloud.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Iceland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the south coast, including waterfalls like Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, glaciers like Sólheimajökull, and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. You could also incorporate a visit to the Blue Lagoon and the Golden Circle, including Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in Iceland?

    Reykjavik offers a vibrant city break, with its museums, art galleries, and lively nightlife. Alternatively, a weekend focusing on the Golden Circle allows for experiencing some of Iceland's most iconic sights in a shorter timeframe.
  • What festivals in Iceland are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Secret Solstice music festival, held during the summer solstice, is a popular choice. The Reykjavík Culture Night offers a diverse range of cultural events across the city. The Iceland Airwaves music festival showcases both established and up-and-coming Icelandic and international musical acts.
  • What’s the top spot in Iceland for favourable weather conditions?

    There's no single 'top spot' guaranteed to have favourable weather. Iceland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. However, the south coast tends to experience slightly milder conditions than other parts of the country, but even there, weather can change rapidly.
