What people say

Nally Preseault
"Búðakirkja is a tiny, black, wooden church surrounded by lava fields in the equally tiny hamlet of Búðir. A church was first established here in 1703. The current building, which can hold 50 people, was completed in 1848. It has an organ and two bells, but no heat or plumbing. The pastor is a woman. The church is still used for local events and weddings. But most of the time, it's locked. Visitors can still peek in the windows and walk around the connected graveyard. If you only visit one church besides Reykjavík's Hallgrímskirkja, make it this one."
"❗️EVA'S TIP: If you are curious about the famous "black church" in Iceland, this is located in this Peninsula. Other than that, is just a church and a nice landscape. "
Garrett Sears
"Búðakirkja is a beautiful small black wooden church located on the south side of Snæfellsnes Peninsula"

Have you ever dreamt about travelling to Iceland? Here I share the most complete 8-day itinerary along the Ring Road in Iceland! After having lived in Iceland for more than 1 year, I want to share with you my best tips based on my experience for travelling around one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and that I like to call home. I’m also sharing special places and not only the most popular ones. What to consider before reading: • Personally, I believe that the most enjoyable way to travel around Iceland is by Campervan • The most important thing to pack is different layers of clothes, no matter what season you are in • Bare in mind that it's illegal to camp outside campings in Iceland (this is under your own responsibility) and this guide is not focusing on camping sites. • Be aware of the fast changing and though Icelandic weather. • Bring eye mask to sleep (there's almost no darkness during the Midnight Sun). • Feel free to modify the starting point of the road trip (either starting from the South or the West) according to the weather forecast (although it can be unpredictible). • I would not recommend taking detours that I suggest along the blog if weather conditions are not good. • Note that the maximum speed limit in Iceland is 90 km/h in main roads, make sure you don't overpass the limit. Traffic fines are very expensive in Iceland, you don't want to pay one! And be careful with sheep! They are constantly crossing the road. And most importantly, ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO ICELAND!! 😜🇮🇸 *all the pictures in this blog are mine otherwise stated
