Seek advice from fellow travelers as to likely costs of living at your destination. Heed your government’s safety advice and make sure you’re well insured. Just make sure you have a chip and PIN card, especially for more remote gas stations. To be fair, street food does not currently have ratings, so use your judgment in evaluating whether or not you want to eat at a place. Driving distances tend to take longer then you think and you want to leave plenty of time to explore and enjoy Iceland’s natural beauty. Ideal time frame: 3-12 months. Also, children are not expected to be seen after about 8 pm even in the summer months. When kids are uncomfortable, they aren’t happy. 14. Much to my dismay the fuzzy Icelandic horses aren’t always the most cooperative models. 18. As much as I wanted to bring home a lopapeysa of my own I knew it would never get cold enough here at home to get much use. Before you set out, think about what you can afford to spend - the restorative benefits of a vacation will soon evaporate if you’re cash strapped when you get home. You will run out superlatives to describe Iceland’s landscape when you return home.
Volcanoes, glaciers, the wind and the sea merge to create a landscape that is like nowhere else on Earth. 12. Some parts of Iceland look like Montana, some areas look like the moon. If you’re looking to plan your visit here are a few tips for your first trip to Iceland. For those of you just starting out, accumulating the miles for that trip to Europe already seems a daunting task. Packing them perfectly is a tricky task since chances of getting wrinkles on the nicely ironed clothes are higher. 19. If you plan on getting close to any of the waterfalls in Iceland make sure to wear your rain gear. Don't always shop solely on price - Price is important, but make sure you're getting what you expect. Make your own phone calls. Consider microchipping your pet and make sure their contact information is current. Leave your most precious possessions behind and make use of the in-room safety deposit box for those things you need to have with you, such as your passport. You’ll avoid paying unnecessary foreign currency charges and even have the option of withdrawing cash overseas. 4.We did not exchange currency for this trip as credit cards are widely accepted.
