A trip to Iceland is like teleportation to another planet. Volcanic landscapes, blue glaciers, waterfalls at every step, a minimum of people and a maximum of horses and sheep. Due to such conditions, in some places, there is a bad Internet connection, not allowing you to chat with friends or read a Fat Rabbit slot review. So you have to organize your vacation properly. This country, though northern and cold, is cozy if you prepare properly for it.

Clothing

The first and most important thing to take to Iceland are warm clothes. A down jacket will be a real salvation from the cold and harsh winds. It’s better to be light, but warm and definitely waterproof. Snow, rain and fog are the normal weather for this country.

The second no less important thing is warm and necessarily waterproof shoes, and it’s better if it will be two pairs. If one gets wet, the second will be a real salvation (and you won’t need a bag). Get ready to walk and climb, jump and climb a lot. So comfort is another important consideration when choosing shoes.

Take sweaters, and a few too. You’ll thank us later, when you’ll sit in a cozy cabin, drink tea or something stronger and enjoy the warmth.

For the most Instagram pics against or even behind the waterfalls, get yourself a brightly colored raincoat. First, things and phone will be as dry as possible, secondly, then you can wear it in rainy weather at home, and thirdly, all the likes of your friends are yours.

By the way, a convenient and practical thing is thermal underwear. It will be neither hot nor cold, it perfectly absorbs moisture and is a generally comfortable thing, which will definitely come in handy more than once.

We don’t need to say anything about socks and panties, but you should take some extra. Anything can happen. A banana bag also helps a lot to hide your money, documents and phone. So you know what to do!

As silly and frivolous as this idea may seem, take a nice dress with you. Let’s fight off all the naysayers and pragmatists and say that the best photos don’t come in down jackets. Again, if there’s enough room in your backpack.

Devices

The amount of beauty per square meter, the memory in the phone, as well as its charge quickly runs out. So don’t forget to prepare your smartphone for the trip and get a powerful flash bank if you haven’t already.

Professional camera, if you have one, you can and should take. That is, of course, if there is enough room in your luggage.

Food

The prices in the supermarkets cause mild (and not so) excitement, so if your luggage allows, bring some nutritious bars and dried fruit. They won’t take up much space, but they will be a perfect salvation between marvels.

Alcohol

It’s not just expensive in Iceland, it’s mega-expensive and sold only in special alco-markets, which greatly complicates the situation. So it’s strongly advised to take a bottle with you, if you have a suitcase, of course. Or you can stock up on booze in Duty Free (by the way, only here it is open at the entrance and at the exit, so because of the prices Icelanders often come to the airport for alcohol). It’s the same story with tobacco products, so it’s easier to quit than pay a lot of money.

Money

This is, of course, all individual, but keep in mind that you’ll need plenty of it. You can pay at gas stations and markets with cash and cards. But if you have euros or dollars, get ready to get change in Icelandic crowns. That’s how they do it.
