冰岛主要景点,自驾游及其他攻略汇编

冰岛十大景点

冰岛景点最大的特点是景点离停车位都很近,基本上是在停车处既可以看到景点,一般都在一刻钟以内的路程。

看极光的季节是9到4月,8月底也可能看到。三天的极光预告可以查询这个网站Official Live Aurora Forecast – Aurora Reykjavik,三级以上人眼可以识别。如果不能确定是不是极光,可以用手机night mode拍一张,night mode长曝吸收更多的光,使极光显而易见。

冰岛自驾 – 一号环岛公路沿途最佳景区,最佳季节,路况

自驾游考虑最多的是保险,许多人都遇到麻烦,或者被强制买高价保险,或者因为一点小的擦破罚款百元,甚至上千元。美国的车保一般不保。解决方案是用信用卡的保项(请查询你的信用卡公司,我2017年是要信用卡公司出据证明),这次是订车时一起买,卖家承诺任何多余预定金的数额,他们支付。

加油是常有的麻烦事。冰岛大部分是self-service.有些信用卡不能用,很多店要PIN。Debit card一般都能用,但是要收外汇费。油价很贵,大概320ISK 1公升。我心算了一下大概1加仑 $8多。我们跑了2000多里,花$300多汽油钱。

提车和还车可能在不同地方。有些小公司提车是他们到机场接你到机场外提车。8.手动车比自动车便宜,柴油车比汽车便宜,Hybrid 车更贵一些,如果开得多可以考虑。

冰岛攻略2 – 东南西北中主要景点

冰岛攻略3 – 大概需要多少钱,行程,住宿

我们预算8天2人$5,000,结果只花了$4,000 多,原因是机票便宜,2人UA直飞往返$930,租车预定是$1,000多,出发前发现大幅度降价,同样车型只要$500多。另外美元强势,第一次去冰岛是(2017)是$1换120ISK,这次出发前一周是137ISK,到冰岛那一周是140ISK。

我把住宿分为三个类,第一类:住大通铺或者青年旅舍,2人$100一下;第二类:单间,公用浴室,厕所,2人$100到 $200;第三类:美国标准,单间带浴室,厕所,2人 $200以上。我们大多住AIRBNB带厨房。
