Jack’s route by route breakdown makes one thing obvious – you can travel Iceland only if you are patient enough. Its biggest sights sit scattered across very different regions, and driving hours pile up quickly once you start adding stops. For a first time visit, first travel to Reykjavik and the Golden Circle, then the South Coast, then at last make a decision on whether you want to push north or keep circling the Ring Road – this plan tends to make the whole trip far easier to plan, because in Iceland, arriving somewhere is only half the story, the drive there usually turns out to be half the trip.
