Best places to visit in Iceland

  • The Blue Lagoon: This is Iceland’s most famous attraction. Located just outside of Reykjavik, these geothermal pools are blue because of their rich mineral content. Soak in the baths and experience their natural healing powers for yourself.
  • Myrdalsjokull Glacier Park: Explore the ridges of the Katla caldera by taking a guided tour of this beautiful park. Covered in ice all year round, these hikes are for the most adventurous travelers. Be sure not to miss the Fimmvorduhals Pass and Eyjafjallajokull.
  • Reykjavik: The capital of Iceland is certainly worth a visit. With the beautiful surrounding landscape and the charming downtown, Reykjavik has a personality all its own. Head to the glass dome, Perlan, to see the Wonders of Iceland exhibit and get great city views.

Winter in Iceland

As you can imagine, Iceland gets cold in the winter. However, this is also the best time to see the Northern Lights, so head north and keep your eyes peeled at night. You can also head to the glaciers to enjoy some skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or snowshoeing. This is also the best time to head to the Blue Lagoon and soak in the warm healing waters.

Sixt is generally an excellent company to deal with. The cars tend to be newer, nicer, and in better shape than other companies from which we have rented. Their personnel are well trained and want to make your experience smooth and simple. We book several cars thru Sixt in various countries in Europe frequently and will continue to rent from them as long as they keep their current business model.

Fantastic service from Agnieszka. Got an upgrade to a 4x4 for a better drive on the rural roads. Upon return she was very nice and even gave me a lift to departures hall to avoid the cold wind! 5 stars from me - thank you for making our trip that much nicer 🙂

Driving tips for Iceland

Driving in Iceland can be treacherous. It’s recommended to book a vehicle with all-wheel drive and avoid certain roads that are rough or impassable due to snow or ice. You are allowed to take your SIXT rental on local ferries from the mainland to the islands, except the ferry from Seyðisfjörður.

You can rent between SIXT stations in Reykjavik free of charge. Other one-way rentals in Iceland are allowed depending on the rental rate.
