Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Iceland

  • What are the must-see places in Iceland?

    Iceland offers a wealth of stunning locations.

Then there's Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Reykjavík, the capital city, is also a must-see, with its vibrant culture and colourful buildings.

  • What are the typical activities to do in Iceland?

    Activities are plentiful! Whale watching tours from Húsavík are incredibly popular. You can explore ice caves (safely, with a guided tour), go glacier hiking on Sólheimajökull glacier, or try snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier. Horseback riding through the Icelandic countryside is a unique experience. For a relaxing time, visit the Secret Lagoon, a more tranquil alternative to the Blue Lagoon.
  • What are the most popular Airbnbs in Iceland?

    Among the Airbnbs in Iceland, Beautiful Place With Great View, Spacious And Lovely Flat By The Sea and Lárperla / Ocean Pearl are the most popular ones.

  • Which part of Iceland offers the most pleasant climate?

    The south coast generally experiences the mildest weather, although Iceland's climate is unpredictable. Even in summer, expect cool temperatures and potential rain. The Westfjords can be quite windy and experience more varied weather. The best time to visit for pleasant weather is during the summer months (June-August).
  • What are the best holiday rentals with a pool in Iceland?

    Svartaborg, Bakki and Armuli are the best holiday rentals with a pool in Iceland.

  • What airport options are there for reaching Iceland?

    Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main airport, serving most international flights. There are smaller domestic airports, such as Akureyri Airport (AEY) in the north, which are useful for connecting to more remote areas of the country.
  • What are the best rentals for families and kids in Iceland?

    The best rentals for families and kids in Iceland are Akurgerði Guesthouse 2 - Country Life Style, Seljalandsfoss Horizons and Nefsholt.

  • Are there specific challenges to driving in Iceland that visitors should know?

    Driving in Iceland can be challenging, especially in winter. Conditions can change rapidly, with snow, ice, and strong winds. Many roads are gravel F-roads, unsuitable for standard cars. A 4x4 vehicle is essential for exploring the highlands. Always check road conditions before setting off and be prepared for unpredictable weather.
  • What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Iceland?

    Iceland Airwaves, a popular music festival held in Reykjavík, is a great event. There's also the Reykjavík Culture Night, a vibrant celebration of arts and culture. Smaller, local festivals celebrating the summer solstice or other cultural events occur throughout the year, varying by region.
  • What is the best time of year to visit Iceland?

    The best time depends on your priorities. Summer (June-August) offers long daylight hours, ideal for exploring, but it's also the peak tourist season. Winter (December-February) brings the Northern Lights, but expect shorter days and colder temperatures. Spring and autumn offer a balance, with fewer crowds and potentially stunning landscapes.
  • What are some local dishes to try in Iceland?

    Try Plokkfiskur (a fish stew), Skyr (a type of yogurt), Hangikjöt (smoked lamb), and Kleinur (sweet pastries). Many restaurants offer modern takes on traditional Icelandic cuisine.
  • What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Iceland?

    For emergencies, dial 112. This number connects to police, ambulance, and fire services.
  • What etiquette tips are important when visiting Iceland?

    Respect nature – stick to marked paths, leave no trace, and be mindful of fragile ecosystems. Learn a few basic Icelandic phrases. Show consideration for others, particularly in popular tourist areas.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Iceland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the south coast, including Reykjavík, the Golden Circle, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, and Skaftafell Nature Reserve. Alternatively, you could explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, often called 'miniature Iceland', for diverse landscapes within a smaller area.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Iceland?

    For a weekend, focus on the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss), visiting Reykjavík and perhaps the Blue Lagoon. This allows for a taste of Iceland's highlights without extensive travel.
  • What are the top shopping destinations in Iceland?

    Reykjavík offers the best shopping, with a mix of high street brands, local designers, and craft shops. Check out Laugavegur street and the shops around the harbour area.
  • What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Iceland?

    The Westfjords are relatively remote and offer dramatic landscapes, charming fishing villages like Ísafjörður, and opportunities for hiking and birdwatching. The Eastfjords also provide a quieter, more rugged experience, with fewer tourists.
