Hitting headlines, attracting adventure seekers, and wooing nature lovers and photographers alike– Iceland has become a top bucket list destination for millions of travellers around the globe of all age groups and ethnicities. In this complete Iceland Travel Guide, read about my Epic 10-day Iceland Roadtrip through spectacular landscapes of stunning waterfalls to otherworldly volcanic landscapes, from bubbling mud pots to curious lava towers, from sparkling beaches to geothermal Lagoons.
What made me plan a 10-day Iceland Roadtrip?
I first heard of Iceland when I used to play video games in childhood on those game consoles with cassettes. My Formal introduction to Iceland happened in 2010 when our Family Trip to London got postponed by two weeks due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland. The smoke took over European Airspace and forced us to postpone our flights.
Finally, I went to Iceland in 2016 for my 100-Day Europe Backpacking Trip. Iceland was my final country on my Marathon European Journey, spanning over 25+ Countries and 50+ cities. My Mother wanted to join me specifically for Iceland as she had seen some pictures of Iceland on the Internet. So I decided to rent a car and do a road trip across the Ring Road Circle in Iceland. And it turned out to be the most beautiful experience of my life.
How to Reach Iceland
There are two ways to get to Iceland — by airplane or by ferry. I chose to fly in. Keflavik International Airport in Reykjavik, Iceland, is your gateway to the country. Most European Cities have a direct flight to Reykjavik. Iceland Air is the flag carrier airline of Iceland, while WOW Air is the budget airline which offers fantastic deals. Around 20 airlines have regular flights from destinations in Europe and North America to Keflavik airport all year round.
Best Months to Visit Iceland
Summers are the best time to visit Iceland as the roads are clear of snow and the weather is not that harsh. So you get to witness the beautiful landscapes while travelling around the country. It would be best to visit Iceland in December — January to see Northern Lights. I suggest visiting in May-June or September-October when the skies are clear and there are few tourist crowds in the country. Also, the days are longer so you can travel more during the day.
