Other useful information to keep in mind:
Currency
It can be difficult to find Icelandic Króna in the UK. You can exchange monies in Iceland for example there is a bank at Keflavík Airport in the arrival hall. Hotels often offer currency exchange and there are various information offices in Reykjavík where you can exchange money. Cards are widely accepted and ATMS also available in each area of Iceland.
Clothing
Iceland has all types of weather, in the summer time it can be cold and in winter you may need sunglasses! It is therefore very important to prepare for every weather, plan for activities and add in some city clothes. Plenty of layers is always a good rule, a warm fleece or wool underneath a waterproof and windproof jacket would be suitable. It is also good to have windproof and waterproof trousers. Hats, scarfs, gloves etc. are a must and of course thick socks.Don´t forget your bathing suit and towel if you are planning a dip in our geothermal pools!
It is good to keep in mind if you are doing any specialist activity for example Glacier Walk, Whale Watching or Snowmobiling equipment and gear will be provided. If you need to bring anything specific you will be advised by your Iceland Travel Specialist.
Footwear
Good walking shoes are recommended all year round, in winter there may be snow but walking shoes will be fine for this climate.
