I am planning a trip to visit Iceland for a week.

If anyone has had recent experience it would be helpful.

What not to miss?

What to miss?

Best way to get around? Mid range pricing for places to stay.

Anything that may be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I haven’t been there on land, just the airport on a layover, but was talking about it recently to someone who did. The biggest takeaway they had was to rent a car. The destinations are gorgeous but they aren’t close together. Never looked into it further but there is a strong possibility that will be our next destination in a year or two. This year we are off to Japan.

I spent a day in Reykjavik a few years back as we got stranded by our airline for about 24 hours while returning from the Middle East. So my time spent there was minimal and didn’t allow for real exploration. I can say it’s the smallest capitol city I’ve ever been to. My buddies and I rented stand up scooters and zoomed around the city to see the sights. Can’t say much about it as there’s not much to see as far as a city goes. I can say it’s one the pricey side. It was also dark still at like 10am. It was November though so their nights are LONG.
My friends have actually gone and spent time in the country visiting the hot springs and such. Their photos were beautiful.

My original intent was a fishing trip.

There is a strain of brown trout there in a lake that once drained into the ocean. The lake is now land locked and the trout are the largest in the world.

In addition it is renowned for Atlantic salmon and arctic char fishing.

Geologically it is raw. Most active volcanoes in the world. Dozens of unique waterfalls and canyons.

This trip is about site seeing with my daughter and grandsons.
