Paid Parking in Iceland: All you need to know

At many popular tourist locations, you now have to pay to enter/pay for parking.

Avoiding it can be sometimes tricky, as there're usually not other parking places nearby and parking next to the road can be punished as off-road driving.

Paying for it is usually pretty straight forward, though and in most cases you can pay using Parka or EasyPark app, however few of them are using their own payment methods. (see below)
