6. What is the best time of year to visit Iceland?

The best time to visit Iceland depends on your interests. For the midnight sun and warm weather, June to August is ideal. If you want to experience the northern lights, consider traveling between September and March. Both seasons offer unique experiences.

7. How many days should I spend in Iceland?

For a comprehensive experience of Iceland, we recommend a 7 to 10-day itinerary. This allows you to explore the main attractions, including the Golden Circle, South Coast, glaciers, and more. For a shorter visit, 5-6 days will let you see some of the key highlights.

8. Do I need a visa to travel to Iceland?

If you are from the EU, EEA, or Schengen Area, you do not need a visa to visit Iceland. If you're traveling from outside these areas, check the visa requirements for your specific country on the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration website.

9. What is the currency in Iceland?

The currency in Iceland is the Icelandic króna (ISK). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and you can easily exchange currency at airports, banks, or currency exchange offices in Reykjavik.

10. What should I pack for an Iceland tour?

Be sure to bring warm, waterproof clothing, sturdy footwear, swimwear for hot springs, and a camera for capturing the stunning scenery. Layers are key, as the weather in Iceland can change quickly.

11. Is it safe to drive in Iceland?

Yes, Iceland is generally safe to drive in. Roads are well-maintained, but some areas may require caution, particularly in winter due to snow or ice. Make sure to familiarize yourself with driving conditions, especially if you’re exploring remote areas.

12. Can I use my mobile phone in Iceland?

Yes, most international mobile phones will work in Iceland, but you may need to enable international roaming or get a local SIM card upon arrival for better coverage and cheaper rates.

13. What are the must-see attractions in Iceland?

Must-see attractions in Iceland include the Golden Circle, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and the stunning landscapes of the South Coast. For adventure seekers, glacier hikes, ice cave explorations, and the northern lights are unforgettable experiences.

14. Are guided tours available in Iceland?

Yes, guided tours are available for a variety of experiences, including private tours, group tours, and specialized activities such as glacier hikes, Northern Lights hunts, and photography tours.

15. Is tipping customary in Iceland?

Tipping is not customary in Iceland, as service charges are typically included in the price. However, if you feel you’ve received exceptional service, leaving a tip is always appreciated.

16. What are the best ways to get around Iceland?

At GoIcelandTours, we offer the best ways to explore Iceland, including rental cars, guided tours, and premium public transport options. Whether you prefer flexibility or a tailored experience, we have you covered for an unforgettable journey.

17. How can I experience authentic Icelandic culture?

To experience authentic Icelandic culture, visit local museums, attend Icelandic music events, try traditional Icelandic cuisine (like lamb and seafood), and soak in the local geothermal pools. A visit to a small village can also provide a glimpse into Icelandic daily life.

18. What are some recommended local foods?

Some must-try Icelandic foods include lamb, fish, skyr (a type of yogurt), and traditional dishes like “hákarl” (fermented shark) and “pylsur” (Icelandic hot dog). Don’t miss out on Icelandic pastries, like “kleina” and “vínarterta.”

19. What is the weather like in Iceland?

Iceland’s weather is highly variable. Summers (June-August) are mild, with temperatures ranging from 10-15°C (50-59°F), while winters (December-February) can be cold, with temperatures averaging between -1 to 4°C (30-39°F). Always prepare for sudden changes in weather, regardless of the season.
