Creator's Key Takeaways

we were lucky to have a last minute overnight stay at this port which presented obvious opportunities but also some surprising challenges too

the DIY option was best for us with the car rental it opened up possibilities otherwise Clos to us and we could go at our own pace

we got the full insurance offered by the rental company which is our general policy when renting a car overseas

there's no ride share here so you'll need some kind of official Cab Company number to get around after hours

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a car rental to explore the Golden Circle independently
โœ“Use the free shuttle from the port to Harpa Concert Hall
โœ“Have a cab company number on hand for after-hours transport
โœ“Check the shuttle schedule as it doesn't run 24/7
โœ“Factor in parking fees and gas when budgeting for a car rental
