    Very lucky to have visited Iceland 🇮🇸 4 times. Jan, Feb, June and November. Loved them all for different reasons. My June trip was the longest at 8 days and during that time we had 20c + fir most of it 🔆

    May!! Low tourism with still tolerable weather for someone who’s used to warmer weather. It was around 40-50°F each day and although there were still a few tourists around it wasn’t enough to get in the way of getting some good pictures. although the first day I got there we were going to drive around the golden circle and there was 3 feet of snow on portions of the road so we had to turn around, outside of that there was never snow on the ground.

    Hi... I eventually saw all yr videos on which mnths to visit Iceland and finally chose end of Oct 2022. Believe it or not it was the best decision. We had sun everyday on the tour except 3 short rains. There were nothern lights in full bloom atleast 4 nights out of the total 12 days we spent. It was magical. And a lot of yr tips helped. Esp the blue lagoon one where I literally found out through you that we have shower naked. *Fun Experience* Thank you for all the info. Great Job 🤗

    • @IcelandwithaView
      @IcelandwithaView  5 лет назад

      You will have to prioritize your must sees for a 7 day trip. And whichever option fits YOU best! Thanks for watching!!:)

    Is the weather in winter so terrible that it is likely that my planned 5 night trip in December could be spent in a hotel room if a storm hits? How frequent are these storms?

    • @IcelandwithaView
      @IcelandwithaView  6 лет назад

      Totally depends, you can never really predict the weather in Iceland so I always suggest having a plan B for a winter trip. Enjoy!

    This video has coast me a lot ! I fortunately like so many other tourists I met during my trip in Iceland I fall of this and took a trip in what she calls shoulder season! What she doesn’t say that on those months the weather is so unstable too cloudy for northern lights and too windy for activities with risks of road closers and cancelations of activities. Please stay away from Iceland in October and march 😢
