Lonely Planet Iceland (Travel Guide)

Always been a big fan of Lonely Planet, simply because i trust books more than my mobile. I need a book and a map with me when travelling. It just makes it so much easier. Even if you get lost, you always know there is a way out when having a Lonely Planet on your side.

Ok guide. Majority of information only applies to visiting in summer, which is not clearly marked in the book. We had to do a lot of supplementary googling to figure out routes and destinations which are labelled as "easy to reach" by this guide are in fact closed off or dangerous to reach without a guide in off road cars during the winter season. Do not purchase if traveling in winter.

The Lonely Planet people get my vote. Another more than helpful publication. Having just returned from Iceland, and used this book everyday, I would say it was an invaluable aid to an enjoyable adventure. We self drove around the South West and South of Iceland, the maps very useful although we (as advised did back this up with a road map as certain names are spelt differently on the road!), the general information about weather, getting about, whale watching, food and top attractions was fully comprehensive and in my view a tourist must have.

Lonely Planet is always great... Found good tips on hotels and restaurants... Although some good places weren't in the guide and one or two were closed already given that is only one year old book is not great that

I love the Lonely Planet books and the new version is a great guide to take with you on a trip to Iceland. The distances in Iceland are huge so you need to know you're going to the right place. With lots of handy tips and maps it was a great read. The only problem was I forgot to pack it! I was gutted but luckily I had had a good read of it before I left home :)

very good and comprehensive, would recommend. 4 stars as I think it's a bit pricey

Arrived quickly, great little book ideal size for carrying with you. Good information too on where to go and what to look for.

Interesting and good information, but I found it hard to trace things back to the map in the book and figure out exactly where things were. I used it in conjunction with Google Maps to get around it which is fine, but I've rarely had this issue with other guides and I have a few for different places
