I first visited Iceland 3 years ago after getting an internship out of nowhere. And since then I been coming back year after year discovering the country more and falling in love even deeper.
Iceland is the crazy combination of fire and ice, pure nature, crazy landscape and unbelievably welcoming people. Friends and family always asked me for recommendations and like that, I eventually came to make this 10-day itinerary that I'd like to share with you. You'll stop at the most iconic locations and do things like whale watching, ice cave hiking and exploring the glacier lagoon by boat.
The itinerary with renting a car in mind. If you want to travel to Iceland without a car check out my other guide on car-free and budget Iceland. You can do it solo or with as many people as you can fit in a car. You can either choose a budget version with camping or be more comfortable with apartments on the way. For example, if you were to travel with a friend the cheapest option would be renting 4x4 and camping with your own tents. That would be 480€ per person plus activities and if you choose all of them total would be 890€. You can explore all price options in an interactive spreadsheet.

The first time I came to Iceland was during my university when I got a summer internship in the country. I was way too excited to give up this great opportunity, however, my student budget was not too happy about the costs. I very quickly discovered that Iceland is as expensive as they say but I also discovered it can be explored on a low budget.
In this guide, I'll share with you how you can plan your Iceland trip, on a budget and without a car. From where to stay, how to move around and what to see. If you choose the most basic option (camping and hitchhiking) you can expect 30€ a day. If you prefer hostels and public transport or bus tours you can expect anything from 40 to 150€ a day.
What you'll find in this guide
✔️Public transport options and description of each
✔️Recommendations of accommodations from camping to hostels
✔️Day tour options from Reykjavik
✔️What to do in Reykjavik
✔️Exploring outside Reykjavik and where to go, stay and how to get there

Check out these top spots in Iceland that are either hidden gems or worth braving the crowds. Most are outdoor experiences, because the reason people visit Iceland is because of the natural beauty.
Sure, summer is the prime time to visit Iceland for the weather, but don’t be fooled—other seasons bring great things too (like the aurora). Iceland's weather changes every five minutes, its bad and good at the same time, and you might just have bad clothing if you're not having a great time. Positive attitudes are required here, and a bit of planning.
I’m Jules, and after a year living, studying, and exploring Iceland, I’m here to share my favorite unforgettable spots. I made a YouTube video showcasing months worth of footage in these locations for those who want a virtual tour. This list is based on that video.
I’ve sprinkled in some cool tips and hidden gems for each place to enhance your visit. Rest assured, I only recommend what I genuinely love. Hopefully we get along.
I’m also crafting a complete guide to every spot I’ve been in Iceland, but for now, I’m bringing you the very best. Less is more anyway, and less overwhelming.
