Places to visit in Iceland Ah, Iceland, you'll love it. We really did. I got the lonely planet book and that was useful in planning where to go. There aren't a huge variety of places to stay in most of the towns (except Reykjavik) but most have at least a hotel. Skaftafell national park is definately worth it, and the iceberg lakes surrounding it as they are so pretty and very different. The hotel just outside the national park is excellent and I would highly recommend it. A good few days in Reykjavik would be good to settle in, see the sights and get used to the place. The Golden triangle, though over-populated with tourists, is also worth doing despite it's popularity. Then depending on what you are in to and how long you have, a trip around the coast is also well worth doing. If you look on the discover the world website under the iceland summer tours, fly-drive section, you can look at the itineries that they provide for holidays and they were pretty good at covering most of the major things that you would want to see. The centre is extremely baron, and only accessible by 4WD, so not highly recommended unless you have the time and the inclination. We didn't get up to the north, though wish we could have. There are trips from Akureyi to an island in the arctic circle as well, we wanted to go on this but it just didn't happen.
If you have any other questions, please let me know and I'll try and answer as best I can!
Be warned, it is expensive, but definately worth it!
