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 waterfall or the Látrabjarg cliffs. The geothermal areas around the Reykjanes Peninsula, away from the Blue Lagoon, offer unique experiences. Exploring the highlands, accessible by 4x4, reveals stunning, remote beauty. Don't forget the smaller museums in towns like Akureyri, offering insights into local history and culture.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Iceland?

    Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main international airport and serves most travellers. It's conveniently located near Reykjavik, making onward travel easier.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Iceland, cash or card?

    Cards are overwhelmingly preferred in Iceland. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, even in smaller shops and restaurants. Cash is rarely needed.
  • 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, particularly in the highlands, icy and snowy conditions are common, and a 4x4 vehicle is often essential. Driving habits tend to be cautious, but the weather can create challenging conditions. Always check road.is for up-to-date road conditions and weather warnings before setting off.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Iceland?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. You'll then need to contact your embassy or consulate in Reykjavík to begin the process of obtaining an emergency travel document. Keep copies of your passport details and travel insurance information accessible.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Iceland?

    A week allows for a good balance of exploration. A popular itinerary includes exploring the south coast, visiting Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, and the Golden Circle, with a possible extension to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula or the Westfjords depending on your interests.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in Iceland to experience the best of it?

    For a weekend, focus on the easily accessible south coast and the Golden Circle. This allows you to see iconic sights like Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area, and Þingvellir National Park. A day trip to the Blue Lagoon is also a popular addition.
  • What festivals in Iceland are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Reykjavík Culture Night is a large-scale event with various cultural performances and activities. The Secret Solstice music festival, held during the summer solstice, is also popular, offering a unique experience under the midnight sun. Smaller local festivals, celebrating aspects of Icelandic culture and heritage, happen throughout the year in various towns.
  • Does Iceland have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    No, Iceland doesn't have Uber or similar ride-hailing apps. Local taxi services and rental cars are the main transportation options.
  • What’s the top spot in Iceland for favourable weather conditions?

    There isn't one single 'top' spot for consistently favourable weather. Iceland's weather is highly variable. The south coast tends to experience slightly milder conditions than the north, but even there, conditions can change rapidly. Checking the forecast regularly is crucial for any trip.
