Practical tips for Iceland
- Iceland is virtually cashless, so bring a credit or debit card with a PIN; physical cash is rarely needed even for the smallest purchases.
- If venturing outside Reykjavík or along the Ring Road in shoulder or winter months, rent a 4x4 vehicle and regularly monitor vedur.is and safetravel.is for sudden weather shifts.
- Showering naked with soap before entering any geothermal pool or public bath is non-negotiable and strictly enforced etiquette.
