Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
June-August for midnight sun, warmest weather, and full access to highlands. September-March for Northern Lights. Winter offers snow activities but limited daylight and some roads closed.
Cultural Notes
Icelanders are friendly but reserved initially. Hot pot culture is important; visit local swimming pools. Tipping is not expected. Many believe in elves and hidden people (not as a joke). Sustainable tourism is valued.
Insider Tips
Rent a car to explore the Ring Road. Weather changes rapidly; layer clothing. Book accommodations early in summer. Tap water is excellent. Credit cards accepted everywhere. Fuel stations can be far apart.
