Why Buy Icelandic Krona (ISK) Before You Travel

Buying your Icelandic Krona in advance is always the smarter choice. Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world for tourists, making it even more important to manage your currency wisely. Airport bureaux de change and hotel exchange desks regularly offer rates significantly worse than specialist providers, while using your UK card at Icelandic ATMs means facing foreign transaction fees and poor conversion rates set by your bank. Although Iceland is a largely cashless society in major cities and tourist areas, having ISK on hand is still useful for smaller purchases, rural locations, some attractions and situations where card payments are unavailable or unreliable.

Cash remains useful for:

  • Tipping in restaurants and hotels
  • Taxes and ride services
  • Small purchases
  • Emergencies

About the Icelandic Krona (ISK)

The Icelandic Krona (currency code: ISK, symbol: kr) is the official currency of Iceland, one of the world's most remote and naturally stunning island nations. The Krona is a floating currency, meaning its value is determined by global market forces and moves in response to economic data, tourism trends and broader market sentiment. Iceland's economy is heavily influenced by its tourism and fishing industries, both of which have a significant impact on the strength of the ISK. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 ISK, with coins available in 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 ISK. For most everyday spending, 1000 and 2000 ISK notes are the most practical for daily use.
