On it, you will see the main roads, including a map of Iceland F-Road, a road you must take if you visit the Highlands. Remember that to drive on the F-roads, you will need to rent a 4×4 in Iceland.

If you’re going to go to the Highlands of Iceland, I also recommend checking the following map to see if you have to cross any river to reach your destination (marked on the map with a V).

Apart from having this map of Iceland on hand, I recommend always checking the road conditions on Road.is, as you may find that you have to take some detours due to snow, overflowing rivers, storms, works, etc.

5. Map of Iceland’s Ring Road

Route 1, better known as the Ring Road, is the road that goes around the island and is, therefore, the most important road in the country. In some areas near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, the Ring Road may look almost like a highway, but it is usually a very narrow road, with only two lanes at best.

Either way, it’s the best road for getting to know the entire island, as it passes by the main points of interest. Additionally, it is open throughout the year, and you won’t need a 4×4 car to drive it.

It’s a good idea to have a detailed map of the Ring Road so that you can see the places you will go through if you decide to visit it. On this map of Iceland, you will also see how long it takes to go around the island. You can check the best Ring Road 10-day itinerary here.
