What is the best month to visit Iceland?

Given that summer temperatures do not rise much above 16°C, the best time to visit Iceland is between the months of May and September. Gullfoss Waterfall is also at its most impressive at this time of year, and the midnight sun is visible in the country’s north. Travel outside of the summer season and you may find the country’s museums and hiking routes, such as the Laugavegur Trail , closed. However, the period between November to February does have the bonus of being the season of the Northern Lights , and major attractions such as the Blue Lagoon remain open all year round. Find more information here .

What currency do they use in Iceland?

The currency of Iceland is the krona (ISK). It is difficult to exchange your dollars and euros with the Icelandic currencies outside of the country, but easy to do once in the country, both at the airport and in bank branches around the island. USD 1 is equivalent to around ISK 130.

Is Iceland expensive to visit? How does the credit card system work? Do I need to carry cash in hand?

Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit, although there are ways to keep costs down, such as by renting a camper van. Overall, visitors should be looking at a daily per-person budget of between USD 100 and USD 200. Most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept credit cards from major providers, and there are no minimum purchase requirements. Since cards are the preferred method of payment, you should be okay even if you avoid carrying cash completely, although having some for emergencies is always a good idea.

Do I need a visa to travel to Iceland? Is Iceland safe for me to visit?

Passport holders from around 60 nations, including the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, do not require a visa to enter Iceland as a tourist. Stays are limited to a maximum of 89 days in any six-month period. If you are coming from or going to another Schengen country, this time must also be included in your allowance. Iceland is incredibly safe with very low crime rates. A bigger concern is ensuring that you pack correctly for a climate that can swing from sunny skies to snow showers in a couple of hours. You can find more information here .

Do they speak English in Iceland? Would be better to learn basic communication phrases?

It is far more unusual to find an Icelander who does not speak English than one who does. It is taught to a very high standard in schools. Icelandic is one of the most difficult languages in the world to get to grips with. If you fancy giving it a go, start with simple but useful phrases such as vinsamlegast (please) and thakka ther fyrir (thank you).

How many days do you need in Iceland?

It may sound unbelievable if you do not know Iceland well, but it is possible to take in the country’s highlights, such as a tour in Reykjavik and exploring the Golden Circle , in just two or three days . Extend your trip to seven days and there is enough time to follow the popular ring road route right around the country and spend a few days trekking in what has to be one of the most visually stunning destinations in Europe. Our guide to how long to spend in Iceland goes into more detail.

What type of electric adapters should I bring?

Iceland uses the two-pin electric sockets that are seen across much of Europe, known as types C and F. The only difference between these two types is an earthing clip found on one side of type F sockets. The country’s voltage is 230V, so travelers coming from the US or Canada, where it is 130V, may need a voltage converter to run their electrical items safely.

What activities should I do when I’m in Iceland?

Although Iceland has some excellent museums, trips to the country are all about getting outside and exploring a coastline and a countryside brimming with geysers , volcanic vents, waterfalls, and glaciers. Glacier tours can be taken by road like a standard sightseeing tour, on foot, or even during climbing trips. Hiking is another popular activity, with a good number of routes to choose between. For relaxing, there are plenty of geothermal spas around the country. Seeing the ethereal Northern Lights should also be high on your wish list. Find our Iceland tours and trips here .

How is the transportation within Iceland? How expensive are the accommodations?

If you are sticking to Iceland’s ring road, you could, in theory, rely on the country’s public transport (buses) alone, although their services are much reduced during winter months. Most visitors rent a car instead to avoid being left hanging around. Taxis operate in Reykjavik and other larger urban centers, although most points of interest for travelers are within walking distance of one another. Cheaper hotels come in at around USD 40 per person, per night, but given their standard, this is not over the top. At the high end, do not be surprised if you see room prices of USD 1,000 per night.

Trip of a lifetime

5 - Excellent

Michael Catapano

“This was the best trip I’ve ever been on! Highly recommend this travel specialist. We fell in love with Iceland and cannot wait to go back, we will definitely be going with them again.”

Wonderful tour of Iceland

5 - Excellent

Alice Root

“I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the travel package you and co-workers put together. We had no problems at all with the accommodations, and everything went quite smoothly with the vouchers. The inns were comfortable, and the car arrangements also went well. The extra time near Lake Myvatn allowed me to have a wonderful horseback ride and practice the "tolt" at Hestasport. Thankfully the storms didn't interfere with travel too much. It was a bit of a challenge communicating back and forth for the planning aspect, with the time and date differences, but we had a great trip and enjoyed Island a lot, amazing place! Thanks for your help.”

Well organized tour with excellent guide and driver

5 - Excellent

Douglas Kimmel

“The tour was excellent from beginning to end. Our first orientation meeting was efficient and well organized that set the stage for the trip that was flawless in execution. We were lucky to have a good group of compatible folks and all of the destinations were interesting and worthwhile. The pace was very good and enough time was spent when needed. The hotels were very good and the meals mostly at our expense were above expectation often prepared with quality chef skills. The only flaw was the bus was compact and a challenge to get on and off multiple times with backpacks and all but eventually we learned to manage and switched seats during the trip so everything worked out OK”
