- Tap water is safe to drink in Iceland.
- Book your accommodation in advance if you wish to travel during the summer season – the high tourist season.
- The weather of Iceland is unpredictable, with extreme conditions year-round, so always bring layers and waterproof gear.
- Daylight in Iceland varies greatly by season, with nearly 24 hours of daylight in summer and very short days in winter. Plan your activities accordingly, especially during the limited daylight in the winter season.

Tips for Hassle-free Iceland Holiday
- Make sure to shower completely without wearing your swimsuit before entering a hot spring or pool.
- Use the toilet when you find one since they are not common. It usually costs about 200 ISK, so keep some cash with you.
- Do not underestimate the weather in Iceland—it changes quickly and can be risky. Check the Vedur website or app for forecasts, and always carry extra layers and waterproof clothing.
- Tipping is not customary.
- Do not risk your life for a photo.
- Stay clear of barriers, cliff edges, and the surf.
- Do not walk on the ice at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon; it is unsafe, and the water is very cold. Only go onto a glacier with an accredited guide.
- The wildlife and ecosystem in Iceland are delicate, so follow signs and listen to guides to help protect them. Stay in marked areas to preserve the natural environment.
