Right from waterfalls that seem to run over every cliff’s edge to smoking volcanoes, Iceland remains one of the best vacation destinations in the world. This gorgeous area appears as though it is floating at the Earth’s edge yet remains to be easily accessible. It receives daily flights from the United States and Europe and many other corners of the world, all eager to see the Land of Fire and Ice.

The months of June, July and August seem to attract the highest number of visitors. June is preferably the best as you get to be mesmerized by the 24 hours of Arctic daylight while August permits you to enjoy the warmest times. You may also find it ideal to travel from mid-September to mid-October due to less traffic but the short daylight could limit your sightseeing besides the winter weather being an impediment.

Icelandic krónur (or crowns) is the Country’s currency. One AED is equivalent to around 29 Icelandic krónur. The local currency is the most preferred but you can use your debit and credit card for transactions.

Iceland’s primary language is Icelandic. However, there is no point of learning this language as most locals speak fluent English and will often speak it automatically.

There was a time when Iceland was a budget-destination but that has since then been overtaken by currency depression which has lifted prices incredibly. You will find liquor and food to be quite pricey. Our recommendation is that you should spend as little time as possible in Reykjavík city. Rather, invest your time in exploring smaller towns and villages spread all over the coast.

The North Atlantic’s fickle weather is predominant here and travellers are advised to pack for winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Do not underestimate the wind factor. It could abruptly transform a sunny day into a bitter cold one.

You can fly directly from Wow Air servicing Keflavík International Airport to major cities in the United States. The best way to explore the Island is through car rentals although you should seek help from experienced guides when it comes to maneuvering the mountain roads.
