Exploring Iceland

Iceland is a country where you'll really need a vehicle to help you explore, as many of its most interesting places are only accessible by car. There's plenty to keep you occupied in Reykjavik itself, such as the Saga Museum, where you can explore its many displays of distinctive literary art. It's also well worth visiting the Icelandic Punk Museum, which celebrates Scandinavia's contribution to the genre of punk music. However, if you head out on the "Ring Road", formally known as Route 1, you'll quickly discover so much more, including the Blue Lagoon thermal springs, the Skógafoss waterfall, and the amazing boiling mud pits at Hverir.

Knowing the Driving Rules in Iceland

Iceland has some unusual driving rules. Speed limits are low, at most 90 km/h and much lower in towns. Most of the "Ring Road" is fully surfaced, apart from some stretches in the far east. However, mountain roads are often just gravel and unsuitable for most cars, and off-road driving is illegal. You must keep your vehicle's lights on, both day and night. Keep a close watch as you approach bridges, as many are only one-car wide. Be cautious of weather conditions, as Iceland's climate can be harsh. Parking in Reykjavik is zoned, and you can save a lot by parking farther out.
