| And... not as expensive as you might think |
| It is fair to say that Iceland once had a reputation for high prices but thankfully this is largely a thing of the past. Car hire and alcohol drinks are still very costly. Food prices in the shops, as well as eating out, are somewhat more expensive than in the UK. However, visitor attractions and excursions are often fairly priced and public transport and fuel costs are on a par with those of the UK. Goods and services are generally of a high standard and many people remark that Iceland is good value for money. And remember, in Iceland nature comes free! |

| Nor as cold as its chilly-sounding name |
| Warmed by the Gulf stream, Iceland has a temperate oceanic climate in spite of its sub-arctic location. Winter temperatures are similar to those of Vienna or Milan, while in summer they are usually in the range 10-16°C/50-60°F (lower in the highlands). The weather is changeable and most visitors can expect a mix of sunny and cloudy days, rain and wind. In winter, snow is likely in the north of Iceland, while in the south, it comes and goes, according to the weather systems current at the time, |
