Many people have wondered whether there is anything fun to do in the capital of Iceland. But in the recent years, Reykjavik is much more accessible than before. Since it is one of the Scandinavian countries, it does not come cheap. But your travels does not have to be expensive, since by the time the snow melts off from the mountains, it is the best time to visit the most enchanting city of Iceland. Here are some insider tips you should know before traveling there.
This starts from June until the mid of August – months with the best weather, long days, best choice for accommodation and pick of the tours. Of course, peak season means prices are higher and too many people are going to Reykjavik but that’s the best time you should go too.
This option is for those who wish to see the capital of Iceland yet are traveling on a tight budget. This means you can save money off from getting a bed without any linen at a hostel, a number of hotels and guesthouses. It is your advantage if you have one, if ever the hotels are fully booked and you have nowhere to stay, besides many people do that, not only you.
Before even wearing your swimsuit and dipping into the swimming pool or spa, wash your body thoroughly. Many tourists have shared that the only time the locals get mad is when their pools are being abused by visitors from foreign countries.
- Bring Your Own Waterproof Gear
Iceland rains a lot so make sure that you bring proper waterproof apparel and gear to prevent you from canceling your plans in traveling around the city. The mild climate of the city may drop down into thick fogs, biting winds and heavy rain. The months of May until July are the driest of the year.
Reykjavik, or the Iceland as a whole, is a great country to visit if you love entering the cold and snow. You can pretty much access the city from the Keflavik International Airport without worries. Now that you have all the tips and reminders, you know what to do when you visit Reykjavik, so what are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate and pack your things now and have fun on your travel.
