Hello everyone, is it realistic to drive from Hefen to Snæfellsjökull in a day? Google says it takes 7 hours, but I don't know the actual road conditions ?

The road conditions are good, just keep going along Highway 1, there are not many mountain roads, but it's quite tiring. Let's focus on driving and try to avoid driving at night. There shouldn't be any major issues in October, even if it snows, there won't be heavy snowfall in October. This route also won't have any snow accumulation.

Google's calculation of time is still very accurate, you should believe it. But it is indeed very hard to drive for 7-8 hours a day. I didn't drive the entire Route 1 when I went to Snæfellsnes, but instead drove a lot of coastal roads and enjoyed the scenery.

It's really a bit far, and this road is not easy.

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

When we stopped to rest in Eysturoy, the sky was pink in the distance, like a macaron, as beautiful as a girl. More than 20 kilometers away from the destination, people who have been there all say that this mountain road is difficult to drive and will take more than an hour. I don't know how difficult it is to drive. When the car entered, I found that this short 20-kilometer experience has been unforgettable to me, and it can be described as breathtaking ? 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

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 ?
