Reinventing the Icelandic Road Trip – Immerse Yourself in Iceland

As some of my readers know I am the marketing director at Iceland Travel. We have worked hard for the past 12 months on reinventing the Icelandic road trip. Last year we created an innovative Icelandic road trip app which is exclusive to those who book a road trip app with us. And this year we have set up a trip which is based on tragic historical events which led to the last execution in Iceland. These events inspired a young woman, Hannah Kent, to write a novel called ´Burial Rites´. It will soon be adapted for the big screen and the film will star Jennifer Lawrence. If you want to immerse yourself in the story, book the ´Burial Rites´road trip with us and use the Iceland road trip app to guide you around the settings of the dramatic events.

We are always looking for new ways for visitors from all over the world to experience Iceland. One thing we noticed is that many people do not have a lot of time but they are dying to experience the best of Iceland. So we have created new ´Express´road trips which are a short trips which covers the south of Iceland and the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
