The Icelandic krona’s loss is your gain as coming to Iceland has never been less expensive than now.
In the past few weeks the Icelandic króna (a.k.a. “funny money”) has been going through a Keith Richards-scale hangover and looking increasingly like the love child of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty.
But every cloud has a silver lining and what all this means for you is that Reykjavík has never been cheaper to visit.
The price of a day tour of the Golden Circle is down to around £45/€57, entry to the Blue Lagoon is £12/€16, and (entirely unrelated) a pack of Durex PleasureMax Warming condoms is down to £7/€9.
Even the price of beer in a Reykjavík bar has reached the level where you could potentially afford to buy us one. (Just kidding.)
In short, now would be a good time to spread the wealth and book a cheap flight, an Icelandic day-tour or even an old-fashioned (not really) package tour.

Is this true? Is this someone telling me to go to Iceland right now?
Also, this Australian girl searches high and low for an Icelandic pen pal. Please help me find one.
It is true, but be careful with credit card payments, because rate isn’t necessarily fixed. ISK/€ rate is somewhere between 140 – 350 ISKs for 1€. Even with worst rate Iceland is quite cheap country right now.
I’ve always wanted to visit Iceland, to see this beautiful country and have a taste of the legendary Reykjavik night life. Perhaps there hasn’t been a better time to do that, but just taking advantage of the hard times won’t make my stay worth while. There should be a romantic motivation, i am a 40+ old gentlman, kindly help me find a nice date.
