Iceland&#8217;s most popular winter months.<br\/>The unique Christmas atmosphere attracts tourists.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong> <br\/>Prices are quite high in December, especially around Christmas and New Year, and especially in Reykjavik.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that even if prices are lower elsewhere, you still have to factor in the extra costs of buying the right winter equipment.<\/p>\n\n<p>And, as everywhere, prices vary depending on what you&#8217;re looking for. Accommodation ranges from youth hostels to 5-star hotels.
