The best packing lists for Iceland

Almost every day in Iceland involves being outside and getting into hot water. Swimwear and a towel belong in every bag, because pools and hot pots are part of ordinary life — and you shower without swimwear before going in.

Good to know for Iceland

Wind matters more than temperature. It catches car doors, drives rain sideways and makes umbrellas pointless, so a windproof hooded shell, rain trousers and solid shoes are the baseline in any season.

Cold tap water is excellent and free; the hot water smells of sulphur, which you stop noticing. You pay in Icelandic krónur, effectively always by card, on 230 V through type F sockets.

People misjudge the light. From May to July the nights never go dark, and glare off pale ground is strong. A sleep mask and sunglasses are not a contradiction here.
