Do you tip in ICELAND?

If you are travelling to Iceland then you may be wondering whether you will need to tip for services such as hotels and restaurants while you are visiting. 

Tip etiquette in Iceland differs from other European countries so it is a great idea to get up to speed before you pack your bags.

A common question travellers to Iceland ask is “do you tip in Iceland?”. The answer is straightforward, tipping is mostly not required at all by travellers to Iceland. The reason for this is that most of the time, a service charge is automatically added to the bill which is charged in place of a customer leaving a tip.
