Driving time around Iceland
Hi I am going to Iceland the second week of May and was thinking of driving. I would like to have my route down but haven't been able to find anything that gives exact driving directions And duration of time it takes to get to each location. I would like to do the golden circle and the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon and all the hot spots along the way. Any suggestions. I only have from may 9-12.

Can you drive across Iceland in a day?
How many kilometers can I drive per day? The general speed limit for cars in Iceland is 50 km/h in urban areas and 90 km/h on paved rural roads. That means theoretically it would be possible to go all around the island in less than 2 days. However, this is something I highly recommend NOT to do.Is it worth driving around Iceland?
Synonymous with road trip vibes, the Ring Road, Iceland is a must-do drive for those looking for spectacular scenery. The Ring Road is in fact the nickname of Route 1, Iceland's main motorway. This route loops the island in a full circle, skirting around Iceland's central, uninhabited highlands.Can you drive around Iceland in a week?
A road trip on the Ring Road is one of Iceland's best experiences. With 7 to 10 days, you can drive around entire circumference of Iceland, visiting the highlights and several off-the-beaten-path destinations.Is driving around Iceland hard?
