Vík is the wettest place in all of Iceland. That doesn’t sound very inviting, does it? But it’s also the place of the black beach, the plane wreck, fun food trucks, and more. So, despite the rain, you should put Vík on your Iceland to-do list – and bring your raincoat.
In Iceland, you can’t avoid it: you have to rent a car. There is little to no public transport. And I don’t think sticking to tours from Reykjavik is an option either: unaffordable! So I recommend renting a car in Iceland. I’m happy to share my tips with you.
The icy wind brings tears to my eyes and blows the car doors shut. It is chilly on Snæfellsnes in Iceland. But it is also cool in the other sense of the word because there is a lot to see on Snæfellsnes in a short time.
