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, offering dramatic landscapes and charming fishing villages like Dynjandi. The Reykjadalur hot spring hike near Hveragerði provides a less crowded thermal experience than the Blue Lagoon. For something truly unique, explore the black sand beaches of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, far from the usual tourist throngs.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Iceland?

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

    Cards are overwhelmingly preferred in Iceland. Most establishments readily accept major credit and debit cards. While cash is accepted in some smaller places, it's not necessary for the vast majority of transactions.
  • 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, especially in the highlands, conditions can be challenging with ice and snow. Driving habits are generally safe, but travellers should be prepared for gravel roads and unpredictable weather. Always check road.is for up-to-date conditions 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 obtain an emergency travel document to facilitate your return home. Make copies of your passport before your trip as a precaution.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Iceland?

    A week allows for a good balance. Spend a few days exploring Reykjavík and its surrounding areas, including the Golden Circle. Then, head to the South Coast, visiting waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and perhaps venturing towards Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Consider adding a day trip to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula for diverse landscapes.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in Iceland?

    Reykjavík offers a fantastic weekend getaway. Explore Hallgrímskirkja church, wander Laugavegur street, visit museums like the National Museum of Iceland, and enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife and culinary scene. Day trips to the Blue Lagoon or Golden Circle are also easily manageable from the city.
  • What festivals in Iceland are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Reykjavík Culture Night is a large-scale event with various performances and exhibitions across the city. The Secret Solstice music festival, held during the summer solstice, offers unique experiences with 24-hour daylight. The Iceland Airwaves music festival showcases both established and emerging Icelandic and international artists.
  • Does Iceland have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    No, Iceland does not have Uber. However, there are local taxi services and bus routes available throughout the country. Pre-booking taxis, especially outside Reykjavík, is recommended.
  • What’s the top spot in Iceland for favourable weather conditions?

    There's no single 'top spot' guaranteed to have consistently favourable weather. Iceland's weather is highly variable. The south coast tends to experience slightly milder conditions than the north, but even there, weather can change rapidly. Checking the forecast immediately before heading out is crucial, regardless of location.
