Iceland Parking & Entrance Fee Guide (Updated 2025)

💡 General Info:

  • Most popular tourist sites in Iceland now charge parking or entrance fees.

  • Payments are usually done via Parka or EasyPark apps. Install both before your trip.

  • In some cases, there may be QR codes on signs to pay directly via websites or at on site kiosks.

  • Read the signage carefully at each location. Fees vary by vehicle type (car, campervan, bus).

  • Processing fees may apply when using apps (especially EasyPark). Sometimes it’s cheaper to use QR code links directly.
