2 Week Iceland Itinerary
Iceland possesses some of the most dramatic and outlandish landscapes on earth. Broken off icebergs float to sea. Moss-covered lava fields stretch out infinitely. Dried fish heads swing in the arctic air. To fully appreciate the variance and vastness of Iceland’s scenery, we recommend renting a car and driving the Ring Road.
We know that planning an Iceland itinerary can be a challenge. Depending on what time of year you visit, there will be activities you can and cannot do and places you can and cannot visit. We’ve created an Iceland Travel Guide, which will help you answer when to visit, where to go, what to experience, what to eat and drink, and how to save money. Use our guide in conjunction with this itinerary to help plan your trip.
This 2 week Iceland itinerary is based on our road trip itinerary. For those interested in visiting in early Spring, you can also read our Traveling to Iceland in April post, which answers all the questions you’re probably asking. If you’re traveling to Iceland in late spring, summer, or fall, you can also use this itinerary.
Renting a Car in Iceland
We recommend using the Discovercars.com car rental reservation platform to search for and book car rentals in Iceland. This easy-to-use booking platform compares car rental deals from 500+ trusted providers, so that you can choose the best option for your trip.
Tip: If you can only drive automatic transmission cars, as opposed to manual transmission cars (stick shift), book your car rental as early as possible.
