    Before
    ["Strict biosecurity rules: raw meat and unpasteurised dairy from outside the EEA may not be brought in, and used riding, angling and hunting gear must be disinfected and certified before arrival.", "Alcohol allowances are limited and strictly enforced. Many arrivals use the duty-free store in Keflavík airport, where prices are far below city retail."]
    After
    ["Iceland Revenue and Customs says visitors may bring in duty-free up to 10 kg of food worth no more than ISK 25,000, but no meat or dairy products from outside the European Economic Area.", "The duty-free alcohol allowance is a set of combinations, for example 1 litre of spirits, 0.75 litre of wine and 3 litres of beer, or 18 litres of beer; the tobacco allowance is 200 cigarettes or 250 g of other tobacco. You must be 20 to bring in alcohol and 18 for tobacco.", "Angling gear and riding clothing used abroad must be disinfected, with a certificate from an authorised veterinary officer or at your own cost on arrival; used leather riding gear such as saddles and bridles may not be imported."]

    bestTimeToVisit

    Before
    June–August brings the midnight sun, open highland roads and the best hiking; September and February–March offer good northern-lights odds with milder crowds — winter travel needs flexible plans around storms.
    After
    No official source we could read gives a best time to visit Iceland. Canada's travel advice says roads in the highlands and other remote areas are open only in summer, and that winter tires are mandatory between November and April.
  6. Iceland

    payments

    Before

  9. Hungary

    Tip

    Before
    In Budapest use only official yellow taxis with a company logo and fixed government tariff, or apps like Bolt and Főtaxi — freelance taxis hailed near sights and clubs are known for heavy overcharging.

    FAQ answer

    Before
    Usually yes. The Bay Islands price much of their tourism in US dollars and accept them readily, though change often comes in lempiras. On the mainland, stick to lempiras in cash outside hotels and malls.
    After
    The UK FCDO says US dollars are widely accepted for exchange and payment in Honduras, and that British pounds are difficult to exchange. It advises checking with your hotel which ATMs to use, especially on Roatán.
  20. Honduras

    FAQ answer

    Before
    The headline crime statistics are among the region's worst, but they are concentrated in the big cities — the Bay Islands and Copán see steady tourism with mostly petty incidents. Fly or use tourist shuttles between destinations, avoid night road travel, and use radio taxis in cities.
    After
    Take care. The UK FCDO says Honduras has one of the highest violent crime rates in Latin America; most serious crime does not affect tourists, but incidents can happen anywhere, including tourist areas. It describes the Bay Islands as generally safer than the mainland, and Canada advises against non-essential travel to some areas, including Copán Ruinas. Both advise against road travel at night.
  21. Honduras

    Tip

    Before
    Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula have serious street crime. Use radio taxis or app rides rather than hailing cabs, avoid public buses, and don't walk with phones or jewellery on show.
    After
    The UK FCDO advises avoiding walking around Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and other mainland cities, using radio-dispatched or hotel taxis for short distances, considering alternatives to public buses, and not displaying phones, jewellery or other valuables.
  22. Honduras

    Tip

    Before
    Roatán and Utila are among the cheapest places in the world to learn to dive. Book insurance that covers diving — Roatán has a hyperbaric chamber, but treatment is expensive without cover.
    After
    If you dive in the Bay Islands, the UK FCDO says there is a hyperbaric (recompression) chamber on Roatán and recompression facilities on Utila, but that emergency medical facilities on the islands are extremely limited — make sure your insurance covers diving.
