About me
Hi Beautiful People ! Loïc here, addicted to travel and experiencing anything our incredible world has to offer ...
When you start driving up north, the landscape consists of a wonderful mixture of steep slopes, beautiful snowy mountain, and grassy plain. There so many possibilities to enjoy nature so close to the capitale, and the area can be regarded as the setting for most of the Islandic sagas.
Fun fact : The clip seems copied from an indie skateboard video, “Í Kring” from Gersin Livia Paya.
Speed limits in Iceland are as follow :
- 50 Km/h within cities
- 80 Km/h on dirt roads
- 90 Km/h on all other paved roads.
But, trust us, when you are not used to drive in weather conditions such as that encountered in Iceland (November, in our case). You will ease up on the gaz pedal.
Gravel, fog or reindeer are just some examples of what you can expect. Also be aware that there are speed cameras everywhere around the island.
In Summer : Landscape is amazing but be carefull not to get lost in the view, unexpecting turn can appear, and the road are often winding. Gravel roads can be loose
In Winter : Don’t forget to check the road conditions and weather. In the morning, even walking on the road will be tough, you do not see it but there is a fine ice crust all over it.

And anytime you see a “Looped Square”, follow it ! As they leads to every landmark sites.
So, our Advice is : Dont focus only on the main roads and touristy places, if you see one of them, trust us, and go for it, you will probably end up with a breathtaking view.
For exemple, we took 3 russian hitchhiker, near Vik.
Busfare inside capital city is 420isk (3.7 $) or 1 Strætó ticket.
To give you an idea, a one way ticket from Reykjavik to Vik, is 5880 Kr, which mean 14 (420 Kr) tickets, a little over 50 USD.
