In-Depth Information
Most bus and tour companies offer a 50% reduction for children aged four to 11 years;
Reykjavík Excursion tours are free for under 11s, and half-price for those aged 12 to 15.
International car-hire companies offer child seats for an extra cost (book in advance).
The changeable weather and frequent cold and rain may put you off camping as a family,
but children aged two to 12 are usually charged half-price for camping, hostel, farmhouse
and other accommodation. Under-twos can usually stay for free.
Many places offer rooms accommodating families, including hostels, guesthouses and
farmstays. Larger hotels often have cots (cribs), but you may not find these elsewhere.
Many restaurants in Reykjavík and larger towns offer discounted children's meals, and
most have high chairs.
Toilets at museums and other public institutions may have dedicated baby-changing facil-
ities; elsewhere, you'll have to improvise.
Attitudes to breastfeeding in public are generally relaxed.
Formula, nappies (diapers) and other essentials are available everywhere.
