Current Travel Situation
Indonesia to Iceland: What You Need to Know
Iceland is a Schengen member (though not an EU member) famed for the Northern Lights, glaciers, geysers, and the midnight sun. Reykjavik is the capital and the Ring Road circles the entire island offering incredible landscapes. Iceland has seen a surge in Southeast Asian visitors in recent years.
Practical Tips
The Blue Lagoon must be booked months in advance, especially for summer visits. Renting a car is the best way to explore outside Reykjavik. The midnight sun occurs from May to August; pack a sleep mask. Northern Lights are best visible from September to March. Icelandic cuisine features lamb and seafood; halal options in Reykjavik are limited so research in advance.
