Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers.

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

Golden circle intinerary for one day tour from Reykjavik

The Laugavegur Trail is probably Iceland's most famous hiking trail that showcases some of Iceland's most stunning natural landscapes. The trail stretches approximately 55 kilometers (34mi) from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. Often the trail is combined with the Fimmvörðuháls, which adds another 25 kilometers to Skógar on the ocean in the south. The terrain is extremely varied. You pass through black lava fields, along geothermal areas with steamy vents and boiling hot springs, over colorful mountains, by white glaciers, through lush green valleys and by some of Iceland's biggest waterfalls. This guide includes the route and campsites as seen in my Youtube film and is suitable for beginner and experienced backpackers. It is suitable for both camping, as well as overnighting in the refuges along the way. What this guide includes: - A flexible itinerary for different lengths and difficulty levels - Distances, best overnight (camping) options, and other useful waypoints - Custom Google Maps with all the important locations, such as campsites, grocery stores, airports, trails, public transport stops, and viewpoints - GPX-tracks of all the routes - Practical information on how to get there, how to get around, when to go, trail conditions, weather, geography, and more. - Detailed descriptions of the trekking route, including landmarks, terrain, and elevation changes.

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.

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.

In this guide, I'll share with you all the budget hostels I stayed at around the world and my honest opinion about them. Most of my travels I did as a solo female traveller.
