It mainly depends on the weather. I started from Reykjavik on the morning of January 13th and returned to Reykjavik on the afternoon of January 19th. I also stayed in Hofn for two days. Your itinerary design should be enough time, but there may not be much flexible time, for fear of special situations.

Thank you for the reminder, it's really good advice, thank you! I'm flying in from Oslo and have been traveling in Norway before. I have a 4-night itinerary in Iceland, planning to fly in at noon and stay in Vik that night, then visit the black sand beach in the morning of the second day and go glacier hiking in the afternoon, staying at a hotel near Jokulsarlon glacier that night, visiting the ice lake and ice beach on the third day and driving back, passing through Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss along the way, staying at Selfoss that night, sightseeing in Reykjavik city and visiting the Blue Lagoon on the fourth day, staying near the airport that night, and taking an early morning flight to Stockholm on the fifth day. If I don't have time to see the attractions of the Golden Circle on the first day, is it possible to fit them in on the fourth day, or should I only choose one or two attractions of the Golden Circle, or give them up altogether? Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it ? Iceland Q&A

Hello everyone. I'm planning to go to the Golden Circle by car. Is it about an hour's drive from the capital to Pingvellir? How long does it take to drive to Geyser and Gullfoss? A friend of mine went to these three places on a tour, then went back to the city center and went to the hot springs again... I feel that the drive is not very far. But now I find that there are suggestions to spend a day at these three scenic spots. I originally planned to go to the hot springs at 4 o'clock in the afternoon... Is it too tight ? Iceland Q&A

Friends around the island, have you honked your car horn? On the sixth day of the island tour, I had never honked the horn before. Today, in the eastern mountain area, there was a mountain turn that couldn't see the car on the other side, so I wanted to honk the horn to remind them, but I found that no matter how I pressed the horn, it didn't make a sound. I'm not sure if I should contact the car dealership to change the car, considering that I've already traveled so far. I didn't hear any cars honking on the road before, and the previous roads were all easy to drive. I wonder what the road conditions will be like later. Will everyone use the car horn when driving around the island ? Iceland Q&A

Can anyone who has been there tell me, if I drive clockwise around the island starting from Akureyri and entering Vatnsnes (Rhino Rock), is it a shortcut to turn from road 716 to road 711 on the map? Is road 716 a rough ride for small 4WDs? How difficult is the entire journey on road 711 ? Iceland Q&A

41. Do not expect too much comfort in the itinerary above, as the people here are not into that kind of thing. They are all doing business in a practical way. 42. Even for waterproof shoes, if possible, prepare two pairs. 43. The wool sweaters here are said to be extremely warm, but they are made of real materials and can be a bit scratchy to wear. 44. The public security is good, so you can basically rest assured. 45. There are very few people on the road, so don't hesitate to ask for help when needed, and try to lend a hand when someone else needs help. 46. The public restrooms all have toilet paper. Remember to flush it down the toilet after use. For female hygiene products and used tissue, just throw them in the trash can. 47. When taking photos, in addition to a wide-angle lens, remember to bring a telephoto lens and a tripod. You can't predict the scenery around the next corner, or whether you will be able to see the aurora. 48. A selfie stick and a GoPro make a great combination. When climbing a mountain, it's very convenient to have one hand free for taking photos when it's too cold, and the GoPro can also be mounted on the car to shoot video. 49. The sun can be very bright, so remember to wear sunglasses, especially when driving. 50. The weather is changeable, and the weather forecast is constantly changing. Local websites will be more accurate, so wear multiple layers of clothing and be prepared to adjust at any time ? Iceland Q&A

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?
