What it costs a family of four

Free

No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.

What to know

FREE, and the largest single risk in Icelandic travel. F-ROADS ARE 4WD-ONLY BY LAW, unbridged river crossings are common, and NO HIRE CAR INSURANCE IN ICELAND COVERS WATER DAMAGE - people write off vehicles and pay for them. They open roughly late June and close with the first snow. Check road.is daily; the opening dates move by weeks year to year.
