Traveler advice
Ways to save
Do not purchase groceries from 10-11!
Use a store called Bonus to buy groceries, it is 50% cheaper than 10-11.
Getting around
Hopp e-scooter rental is the best
Download the Hopp app for the best way to get around.
Customs and culture
Icelandic saying: “Go and dying!”
If you hear someone say something like “go and dying”, they are actually saying “Good day!” in Icelandic, spelled “Góðan daginn!”
Don't miss
Bæjarins Best Pulsur
Eat the famous Icelandic hotdog at a stand called Bæjarins Bestu.
Ways to save
Airport transfer, not taxis!
If you are 2 or less, book the shuttle airport transfer to save money. Taxis are very expensive in Iceland.
Book before you go
Make reservations at restaurants beforehand
I’d highly recommend booking restaurants beforehand, especially on weekends.
