Iceland's Winter Travel Guide - An Alien Pure Land

Iceland is a magical country, with sunshine on summer nights and brilliant northern lights on winter nights. This corner of the world, located at the junction of Europe and the Americas, near the Polar Circle, is a small country with a population of 320,000, but it has become the world's highest gross national happiness index and has the most equal status of women.

By car, or on a local tour?

Transport facilities in Iceland are relatively simple, there are no trains, no subways, and although there are long-distance buses, there are usually fewer shuttles a day, making travel inconvenient.

In addition, many parts of Iceland are often closed due to thick snow in winter, and even if Reykjavík and surrounding roads have underfloor heating, driving can still be slippery, which can be dangerous for drivers with no experience in snow driving. Even travelers with winter driving experience are advised not to drive and to join a local tour group as visibility is almost zero in winter in case of extreme weather, such as snowstorms. Add to that the fact that Iceland has short sunshine on the road in winter, driving on the road, being careful everywhere, and often tired when arriving at scenic spots, joining a tour can be the icing on the cake for your Iceland experience.
