Summer (June–August) offers the Midnight Sun, warmer temperatures, and accessibility to most attractions, while winter (November–February) is perfect for witnessing the Northern Lights and enjoying winter activities like glacier hikes and ice caving. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) provide mild weather and fewer crowds, making them great for outdoor adventures and sightseeing.

TImezone

Iceland operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Iceland is 8 hours behind Singapore, so when it’s 4 PM in Singapore, it’s 8 AM in Iceland.

Currency

Iceland uses the Icelandic Krona (ISK). Credit cards are widely accepted across the country, even in rural areas. However, it’s still a good idea to carry some cash for small purchases or in areas with limited connectivity.
