Hi everybody!
I will be in Iceland from 27 Dec to 1 Jan and I'm interested in going on a multiple day trip (alternatively day trips) from Reykjavik to the south coast or the north or elsewhere. I have seen the "golden circle" ant the Snæfellsnes peninsula on an earlier trip. I do not have a driver's license and I figure I will probably be stuck in Reykjavik if I don't join a tour. Is anybody planning a trip to Iceland at that time and plan to rent a car to go on an excursion? In case, I would be happy to join you! :)
Tomas, 24

Hi. Two questions for you wise people out there:
What is the best way to get to the hotel from the airport? I suppose a taxi is the way to go and that there aren't many choices?
We need to rent a car for one day. Who should we rent it from? Anything to keep in mind when we do so?
And anything anyone wants to tell me about Helsinki around New Year's is welcome.
Thanks!
V.L.

Hi,
we (four friends) are planning a 2 week trip in Iceland late July 2010. We are wondering if it is possible to rent a motorhome/campervan in Iceland? Does anyone have any experience with exploring Iceland this way?
We realize that without a 4x4 we won't be able to head inland, but we would consider joining a one-day 4x4 tour.
Any tips/suggestions for a 2 week itinerary are welcome.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello,
I'd like to find out which rental offices rent cars cheaper than Hertz.
Another problem : I land the 23d of december at 23:55h
Most offices are closed the 24th, only Hertz is open, i find on the net.
The net has a lot of info, but blocks out a lot too.
Anyone can help?

Hey Guys--We're coming for a short visit to Goteborg in about 10 days. I 'd love some suggestions of good, inexpensive places to eat. We like trying new stuff and are hoping to find someplace with good husmanskost. Also any recommendations of where to go for a good smorgasgord/Julebord. We'll only be there from Thursday--Sun., but any suggestions would be great. Cheers Bruce and Suzon

Hi,
Myself and some friends are visiting Tromso in early January. I am wondering if it's possible to take public transport outside the city at night time, i've read on here that if you travel away from the city lights you have good chance of seeing the lights without need for a guide. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I am travelling to Stockholm for only 3 days at the beginning of Jan. I would like to see some of the obvious tourist sites but also want to explore the arty/creative/musical side of Stockholm. Could anyone out there please recommend areas and places to visit?!!
Thank you!
Hej hej!
We, two german girls, studying in Umea, are planning to go on a Lapplandtrip around Christmas. We want to go up the swedish coast (Skellefteå,Luleå), via Rovaniemi, through Finland to the North Cape and then down the coast of Norway again (Tromsø, Lofoten Islands) and then back via Kiruna.
The whole trip will probably take about two weeks and we are looking for fun people who would like to join us. We want to hire cars, so it would be great if you had a driver*s license.
The exact travel dates and the travel route are not fixed yet, but we need to book soon, so if you want to spend your Christmas holidays visiting Santa, the reindeers, dog sledding, visiting the ice hotel and hopefully seeing some whales as well, .....
contact us as soon as possible,
