Tourist attractions in Iceland

Post by tbk0
Updated at 04 April 2017.

For the great tourist vocation of Iceland and to help users to drive in Iceland we added on the map the major tourist attractions.

The position for all the attractions of this list was validated to ensure the best routes to the users.

Much of this comes from the information added by users in last years, often with photos.

To add the landmarks of the sights we followed the following rules:

For the attractions far from a road, we added at end of the road a landmark with a "name of attractions + Parking" and in the description how much far is from the parking area.

Usually we added at the name also the typology, Iceland language is not so easy to use and we think this is an big help to find attractions.

We always used the category (of course only if it was a tourist attraction)
Tourist attraction / Historic Site

and often we added a secondary categorie:
Sea / Lake / Pool - for Lake, Crater Lake, Glacier Lake
River / Stream - for Waterfall
Parking Lot - for end point of a road with an attraction too much far to have a correct route

It's a great satisfaction to see now on every road "GPS tracks" , also in very remote areas, and finally to see local drivers everyday on the map of Waze. This is a great encouragement to continue the improving, and I'm happy for your opinion.
