Fast Talk Icelandic

Lonely Planet: The world's number one travel guide publisher*

Although you can get by in Iceland without speaking the language, knowing just a few phrases can help you make friends, enjoy service with a smile, and discover richer, more rewarding experiences.

Get invited to watch an up-and-coming band with Reykjavik locals, book dinner at a buzzing new restaurant, or ask for a glass of the country's best craft beer.
