How to get to West Iceland

---

West Iceland is on the doorstep of Reykjavík the capital and is accessible by car all year round.

An hour or so outside the capital, the land starts to change into something quite extraordinary. This is why travellers love it so much and precisely why the West is best for those with very limited time.
