I live in Sweden and I wonder if it's a good time to visit Iceland. I mean the Icelandic Krona has lost half its value compared the Swedish Krona in 2 years. However there has also been a lot of inflation so maybe it's not so cheap to be a tourist in Iceland after all? 
 
Can anyone in Iceland or anyone who have visited Iceland recently let me know? Thanks. (may not be the best place to ask, but I don't visit a lot of forums and I figured there has to be some people from Iceland here)

 Yup, their frozen foods are really good value.
 
For those who don't know, Iceland is also the name of a frozen foods store in the UK. Rather weirdly one just opened up the road from me yesterday, and I had one of their pizzas about an hour ago.

Perhaps a Yahoo Question might help. You could alert Icelanders in the title. 
 
 
I don't know of any Icelandic members here...

Doubt there is many people from Iceland on these forums haha, I'm sure a few people have visited though.
 
Unfortunately I live in western Canada, otherwise I'd shout out of my igloo to them and ask. =p
 
Also, I suppose you don't care about it because you live in sweden, but Icelands winters aren't that great, and it is getting wintery soon.. Although its been like 30C+ (85/90F ishh..) 
 
Go to greenland.. Just kidding. Its a trap! =P Damn greenland and iceland.. name trap =P They are opposites! Bastards!

I have a coupon with big rebates to certain hotels in Europe. I can choose from Glasgow, Scotland; Tallin, Estonia and Reykavik, Iceland. 
 
Estonia and Iceland are 4 star hotels while Glasgow is a 3 star hotel. The price is similar on all. 
 
Not sure where to go. I'll be traveling in November.

You can probably just buy Iceland now.  Apart from EVE, which now accounts for 94% of Iceland's entire economy.
