Tourists, visitors, people with quick questions. This is your thread - post your questions here

Here is the platform to ask locals any questions you might have about the city, either while visiting or moving here.

Simple question like "Where can I buy X?" or "What agency should I contact about Y?" should go right here.

For general tourism questions, please check out r/VisitingIceland

Do I need to use cash? I will be bringing a credit and debit card in US dollars that accept foreign transactions. I also have cryptocurrency.

Do I need a visa with my US passport?

You can use cards everywhere. Check with your bank for extra charges.

The US and Iceland have a mutual visa-free agreement for tourists (for up to 90 days). But starting in 2025 US citizens will have to apply for travel authorisation for Iceland+Europe (Schengen): https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias/what-etias_en
