Hotel prices in Reykjavik are highest during the summer months (June-August) due to increased tourism. For better deals, consider traveling during the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October). Book well in advance, especially if traveling during peak season.

Food to try

Try Icelandic lamb soup (Kjotsupa) for a hearty and warming meal, available in many restaurants. For a unique experience, sample pylsur (Icelandic hot dogs) from a street vendor. Skyr, a traditional Icelandic yogurt, is a healthy and delicious breakfast option.
