Big Trac Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just thought I'd put up a link to this guide for those travelling to iceland next week. (Apologies if it's been linked elsewhere and I've missed it.) Wikitravel Iceland Travel Guide Quite useful in general, but notable highlights include Visitors arriving by air should note that there is a duty free store for arriving passengers where they can buy cheap alcohol (at least cheap compared to Iceland). To find the duty free store just follow the Icelanders. No Icelander in their right mind will pass the duty free store upon arrival! Be sure to not exceed the allowance which is 1L strong alcohol and 1L light wine (less than 22%) or 1L strong and 6L of beer. The strong alcohol can be exchanged for either 1L light wine or 6L beer. Price of beer being around 600 - 800 krona - about £3.50 -£5 High food prices: ISK 400 - 1500 for a hamburger. ISK 1500 - 3500 for a three-course meal in a restaurant. The local Icelandic drinks such as Brennivín ("Black death") contain a fairly high alcohol content Last but not least, the lovely cuisine, such as putrefied shark cubes and singed sheep head. (Think they're seasonal thankfully) Also, Whale meat with optional grated puffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
