Frequently asked questions about accommodations in Iceland

  • What are the must-see regions or cities in Iceland?

    For a truly memorable trip, you shouldn't miss the South Coast, with its iconic waterfalls like Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Reykjavik, the capital city, is a must-see, offering vibrant culture, museums like the National Museum of Iceland, and a lively nightlife. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called 'Miniature Iceland' due to its diverse landscapes, including Kirkjufell mountain and black pebble beaches. The breathtaking landscapes of the Westfjords and the dramatic beauty of the highlands, accessible by 4x4, are also highly recommended for adventurous travellers.
  • What are the best accommodations in Iceland?

  • Are there any specific customs or traditions to be aware of in Iceland?

    Icelanders are generally quite reserved, so a warm but not overly familiar approach is appreciated. Taking off your shoes when entering someone's home is customary. Showing respect for nature is paramount; stick to marked paths when hiking and leave no trace behind. Tipping isn't expected in restaurants, but rounding up the bill is acceptable. Learning a few basic Icelandic phrases will be well-received.

  • Is driving in Iceland considered a good option for travellers?

    Driving offers incredible flexibility to explore the country at your own pace, especially outside of Reykjavik.

Remember to check road.is for up-to-date road conditions and closures before you set off.
  • What are the best accommodations for families and kids in Iceland?

  • What are the best accommodations with parking in Iceland?

  • Which parts of Iceland are ideal for a week-long vacation?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the South Coast, including Reykjavik, the Golden Circle (Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss waterfall), and the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon.
