The Rough Guide to Iceland

by David Leffman, James Proctor, Rough Guides

The Rough Guide to Iceland is your complete handbook to uncovering the delights of Europe's largest glacier. From Reykjavik's nightlife to the dramatic Western Fjords and table-top mountains to the rich birdlife of Lake Myvatn, the full-colour introduction highlights all the 'things-not-to-miss'. For every town and village there are insider reviews of the all best places to stay, eat and drink, both on and off the beaten track, with the new 'Author's Pick' feature highlighting the very best options. There is plenty of practical advice for a host of outdoor activities, from skiing on the Vatnajokull glacier to whale-watching and viewing the Northern Lights. The guide also looks at Iceland''s rich Viking history and its extraordinary geology and wildlife.

The Rough Guide to Iceland is like having a local friend plan your trip!

[Alida]

lots to think about for sure....

[Beth]

This book and the Lonely Planet guide are the perfect combination. Helpful while planning the trip and while in the country. The book had (mostly correct) essential travel details for towns and great overview maps.

[Cathy]

Not as helpful as I thought it would be.

[Abby]

Adequate; not as readable or as accessible as the Lonely Planet guide to Iceland.
