Iceland is definitely considered a safe travel destination in terms of crime rate and social security. However there are some safety factors that are good to keep in mind when travelling to Iceland:
Weather conditions:
The weather in Iceland can change very quickly; it can be sunny one minute and wind, rain or snow the next. I recommend that travellers check the weather forecast before they make plans to drive or hike in Iceland, especially during the winter months: Vedur.is
Road conditions:
Driving in Iceland can be risky, especially during winter. I usually do notrecommend that people rent a car here during the winter months unless they are used to driving in extreme conditions on snowy roads. It is always advisable to check road conditions before you make travel plans in Iceland, especially if you plan on driving on mountain roads or in the highlands: Road.is
