Guide to Iceland is the new gold standard for travel websites

Package holidays are great, but sometimes it’s more fun and rewarding to book your own bespoke trip, which you can tailor to your own particular needs, interests and schedule. There is, however, one common downside to this approach: the amount of time, energy and stress involved in organising separate hotels, flights, car hire, day trips and more.

Why, you often think, isn’t there one single, easy-to-use website where you can organise all of these things at once? Well, the great news is that, if you’re visiting Iceland, there now is!

Guide to Iceland makes it simple to access the best Icelandic travel services, within one clean, uncluttered interface. So rather than making you tear your hair out, planning a trip can become part of the fun.

Even if you weren’t thinking about heading to Iceland, maybe you should. It’s only a short flight from the UK, and despite being just outside the Arctic Circle, it has a temperate climate thanks to the warm winds of the Gulf Stream. This means that whether you want to bathe in the Blue Lagoon, trek across epic ice flows, see star-filled dark skies and the Northern Lights, or just chill in the hip bars of Reykjavík, there’s very little stopping you.

Best of all, the Guide to Iceland website makes it a cinch to plan the perfect trip for you. We love it so much, in fact, that we chatted to designer Kjartan Trauner to learn how he made it.
