Marina S.

Weather is wild, one minute sunny, next sleet, but the landscapes make it worth it; plan extra clothes and patience.

Ruben C.

Food is pricey and portions small, but the lamb and seafood are outstanding; budget accordingly or hit grocery stores.

Viviana P.

Fill your tank whenever you see gas, especially outside Reykjavik; some stretches have no stations for 100+ km.

O
Octavio T.

Rent a 4x4 in winter, avoid backroad adventures alone, and always check official road updates before driving.

E
Esteban H.

Go to bakeries for cheap hot meals, or grab the lunch menu instead of dinner; avoid main square restaurants for real prices.
