It feels a little like no man’s land. While many travelers do a mini road trip of Snæfellsnes, West Iceland seems almost deserted further inland from Borgarnes. But if you look carefully, you will find Icelandic gems here. I am happy to give you some tips for this part of West Iceland.
When you say Iceland, you say Golden Circle. This ‘golden route’ takes you to many highlights of Iceland in a short amount of time. And yes, it is very touristy, but who cares. I want to take you along the Golden Circle route, and I will add a few extras.
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. So I brave the cold and warm up at a hostel with the appropriate name ‘The Freezer’ in the evening.
