4) SHORT DAYS, LONG NIGHTS
The most challenging part about seeing the glorious views of Iceland is that you have to do it in a timely fashion. During fall/winter, the sun usually rises at 11AM and sets at about 5;30PM, so you only have 6-7 hours of daylight. Planning your day and how you choose to use is a good move because you definitely want to catch the amazing lighting for epic photos.
5) DINING AND EXCURSIONS CAN BE EXPENSIVE
Getting to Iceland might be inexpensive but prices begin to change when you arrive. According to Iceland Magazine, “consumer prices in Iceland are on average 66 percent higher than in Europe,” so the cost of eating out, shopping and excursions can add up quickly. It can help to pre-pay for your excursions before arriving in Iceland to help you budget out your stay. If you are eager to visit Iceland, Iceland Air has recently added some new routes for an inexpensive cost. Reykjavik is an easy 6 hour flight from the New York City/New Jersey area.
