Iceland offers unique natural sights like the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle (including Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and Geysir), and the black sand beaches of Vík. The local currency is the Icelandic króna (ISK), and prices are generally high, especially for food, accommodations, and tours. Weather is unpredictable year-round, with cool summers (around 10–15°C) and cold, windy winters, though major roads and services remain accessible. Travelers should be prepared for sudden weather changes and budget accordingly.
Iceland’s transport infrastructure is limited outside the capital. Within Reykjavík, public buses are the main form of transport, but service can be infrequent, especially evenings and weekends. There are no trains, and intercity travel relies on buses or car rentals, with the latter being the most flexible option. Roads are generally well-maintained, but rural routes can be narrow or gravel, and weather can impact travel conditions year-round.
