Traveling around Iceland is fairly easy, since it isn’t much larger than the U.S. state of Kentucky. The Ring Road offers a scenic tour around the island, and the Flybus can take visitors from the airport to downtown Reykjavík. Local flights across the country take around an hour or two, and they’re fairly affordable. Bus service is available, but limited outside of the summer tourist season. Car rentals are often overpriced and there are a number of unpaved roads, so driving can be difficult for international visitors.

Iceland is known for its natural beauty, offering lava fields, glaciers, black beaches, mountains, and beautiful valleys all over the country. Touring the volcano is a unique experience because it hasn’t erupted in over 4,000 years, so visitors are able to go inside to explore the volcano in a whole new way. Paragliding over the landscapes is a popular hobby, as well. Taking a glacier hike is popular, as well, and many people looking for unique cuisine will want to try the local delicacy: rotten shark. Visitors can also visit Solheimasandur Beach, where the wreckage of Dakota (DC3) can be found near the town of Vik. Geothermal spas are found in the country, and although there is not much of it on this list, the shopping and city life in Iceland can be appreciated by travellers, as well.

Your passport will also need to be valid for up to 90 days after your intended date of return. Anyone staying over 90 days can apply for a Schengen Visa, as Iceland is part of the Schengen area.
