Description
Find your own journey. Iceland invites you on a journey where the landscape sets the agenda. Lonely Planet’s classic country guide offers a broad starting point for choosing areas, comparing possible legs of the trip, and finding a balance between the well-known stops and the time you want along the way.
Experiences to anticipate. Volcanic landscapes, water shaped by glaciers, and the northern lights are among the themes covered in the book. Maps, routes, and practical advice support the planning of a trip around your own interests. Let the season and the length of your trip determine how many areas you choose, and which experiences you want to spend the most time on.
Who is this guide suitable for? Choose this when you want a comprehensive guide to Iceland. It can be used both for the first ideas and for more detailed planning, whether the trip is centred on a few areas or becomes a longer round trip.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in context with the rest of your trip. A route with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location, and it is often useful to leave certain days less structured. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you wish to have time to experience.
A physical travel guide is also valuable to refer back to during your journey. Lay it out when discussing the next leg of your trip, rediscover an idea you noted, and allow your plans to evolve as you become familiar with your destination. It functions equally well as inspiration for your initial travel dreams and as support when making concrete choices.
