Frequently Asked Questions about lodges in Iceland
Which attractions shouldn't be missed in Iceland?
So many incredible sights! For natural wonders, the Blue Lagoon is a must for its geothermal waters, and you absolutely have to see Gullfoss waterfall and the geysers of Geysir Geothermal Area. Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcasing Iceland's geological history. For exploring glaciers, consider a tour to Vatnajökull glacier or Sólheimajökull glacier. The South Coast offers stunning black sand beaches like Reynisfjara and dramatic basalt columns. Don't forget the Northern Lights if you're visiting during the winter months.
What parts of Iceland are perfect for a week-long visit?
A week allows for a good exploration of the south coast. You could easily spend several days exploring the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss), the South Coast's waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss), black sand beaches (Reynisfjara), and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. You could also include a day trip to the Blue Lagoon and explore Reykjavík. This itinerary balances natural wonders and city experiences.
What are the best lodges for families and kids in Iceland?
Which parts of Iceland are ideal for a weekend trip?
For a short trip, focus on the Reykjavík Peninsula. Explore Reykjavík itself, visiting Hallgrímskirkja church and Harpa Concert Hall. Day trips from Reykjavík to the Golden Circle are easily manageable in a weekend. This allows you to see some of Iceland’s most iconic sights without extensive travel time.
Are there any traditional greetings or practices in Iceland?
Icelanders are generally reserved, but polite. A simple 'Halló' (hello) or 'Góðan daginn' (good day) will suffice. Shaking hands is common, but cheek kissing isn't typical. It's considered polite to remove your shoes when entering someone's home.

Þjóðhátíð (National Day) on June 17th celebrates Iceland's independence. Many smaller towns and villages also host their own unique festivals throughout the year, often celebrating local traditions and harvests. The Reykjavík Culture Night is a significant event featuring various cultural performances and activities.
What ride-hailing options, including Uber, are available in Iceland?
Uber is not available in Iceland. Local taxi services and private hire companies are readily available in urban areas and for airport transfers. Consider pre-booking airport transfers, especially during peak season.
What part of Iceland is best for outdoor activities?
