Iceland uses the Icelandic króna (ISK). Make sure to get some local currency with you when you visit Iceland!

The best time to visit Iceland depends on what you like to see & do. There is mild weather and long daylight hours during summer (June to August) - perfect for hiking! While winter (October to March) is ideal for experiencing the Northern Lights and winter landscapes.

The name isn’t misleading! Summers here are cool, with temperatures ranging from 10-15°C (50-59°F). And winters are chilly, with temperatures hovering around 0°C (32°F). Either way, be prepared for rain!

From late September to early April (especially during the darkest winter months - December to February) offer the best chances to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. Clear skies and minimal light pollution are super important too!

The weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers, a waterproof jacket, sturdy hiking boots, and thermal clothing. Plus, you’d wanna carry swimwear for the hot springs. And of course, a good camera for capturing Iceland’s stunning landscapes!

ATMs are readily available in cities and towns across Iceland. And they accept most major international cards too!

Around 6 to 10 days are enough to explore Iceland’s key attractions - the Golden Circle, the South Coast, and perhaps even a venture into the highlands or the Westfjords.

Tipping is usually not customary in Iceland. But you’ll find added service charges included in the bill. But if you really liked the food or service, rounding up the bill will always be appreciated!

Yep, Iceland’s tap water is among the purest in the world! No need to buy bottled water here...

Yes, internet access tends to be quite good in Iceland, especially in the cities. But you might not have access while you’re on the road. 

Iceland is considered to be LGBTQIA+ friendly & has laws protecting members of the community. Reykjavik has a vibrant LGBTQIA+ community too!
