Culture and traditions Iceland

 Traditions and customs

Like most Islanders, you might find Icelanders a little difficult at first sight, but you will be overwhelmed by their transformation, once the ice breaks.
Generally, you take off your shoes before walking into a home.
Though most Icelanders are Christians, they have recently shown interest in ancient religions (belief in the different forces of nature), such as Asatru - an officially recognised sect.
