Driving Iceland

Encircling the entire island, Iceland’s Route 1—better known as the Ring Road—is the ultimate way to experience the country’s breathtaking diversity. This 1,332-kilometer (828-mile) highway links glaciers and volcanoes, fjords and fishing villages, black-sand beaches and steaming hot springs. Whether you have five days or two weeks, driving the Ring Road gives you freedom, flexibility, and front-row access to Iceland’s most spectacular sights.
