The main road on the island is known as Route 1 or the Ring Road. Route 1 runs for 1,332km/828mi and connects the vast majority of inhabited regions. To drive the full length of the ring road at around 100kph it would take around 13 hours, but that is for a non-stop drive which is not recommended. If you are planning a road trip around the island, it is recommended to plan for at least a week as this will give you time to stop off at various attractions and really enjoy the island to its full potential. The road is usually kept open, even in winter months, but some areas may be closed during bad weather.
