Around Iceland in 14 days 

Can you do Iceland in 14 days? Yes, you can. Is it enough time? There is never enough time! But two weeks give you the possibility to circle the Island once without having to rush. By far the most popular mode of exploring Iceland is to drive along the Ring Road and wake up with a different view every morning. How an itinerary like this could look like? We give you an idea!

Iceland itinerary for 14 days

Clockwise or counterclockwise? 

The Ring road is entirely paved and leads through all regions– except the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes peninsula – and since it's going in a circle, you'll always end up where you started. In case you're traveling independently from hotel bookings, e.g. in a camper van, we suggest to base this decision on where the good weather is.
