Iceland Handbook: Plan • Explore • Save
We fell in love with Iceland in 2020 — and we’ve returned every year since!
Over the past 5 years, we’ve explored this incredible country in depth. We’ve visited in every season, soaked in hidden hot springs, stayed in some unforgettable hotels, and experienced everything from winter in Akureyri to hiking in the Highlands.
Iceland is one of the most extraordinary countries in the world, with a huge variety of landscapes packed into such a small island. We know first hand how overwhelming it can be to plan a trip here — trying to piece together routes, decide what’s worth seeing, and making sure you don’t miss anything.
That’s why we created this map.
It brings together everything we’ve discovered over the last 5 years; all the places we genuinely loved, carefully organised into one easy-to-use tool to help you plan your Iceland adventure.
If you’re planning a trip to Iceland, we hope this helps you experience the very best of it, and fall in love with it just as much as we have ✨
