It is minus 10 degrees in winter, but the northern part will get even more chilly as expected. If you visit the main purpose of aurora observation, it would be better to prepare proper warm clothes as well.
▼ Domestic movement ▼ There is no railroad in Iceland There are few major towns but it is connected by a bus route It is more efficient to participate in a bus tour etc when going to local attractions. Consider using it.
【Bus】 For information on sightseeing tours, collect information with brochures on the information and hotels.You can collect information even at BSI, Reykjavik’s long distance bus terminal.Bus route map, timetable including BSI, information For example.
【Airplane】 In countries where prices are not cheap like Iceland, the bus fare is not that cheap, but the fare of the airplane is not surprisingly high.Movement of the airplane is also an attractive choice.In the center of the island Because the glacier covers the road, there are few roads in the center, many of the buses take a surprisingly long time to run around the island.With an airplane you can arrive in a short time, If there is no flight to the destination, we will consider it.
[Car rental] There is nothing better than car rental if you move freely.If you do not have so many cars in Iceland you can drive without feeling much stress.I want to pay attention when renting a car, Land is not just paved roads.If you run in Reykjavik town or arterial road, if you run on unpaved road carefully choose the car type.When you rent a car rental office It is a good way to consult the staff.
