Lonely Planet Iceland (Country Guide)

Very good book. Nice and compact. Handy. As usual every region/zone/city described well. Maps and trips are good.

Costly, information not properly laid out in book.

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.

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

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.

Really helpful book, I purchased a lonely planet book for my trip before this and am now reading through another version for my next. Highly recommended.

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.
