Travel to Reykjavik
Keflavik International Airport is Icelands main transportation hub. In 2023 the airport served 7.8 million passengers, which is expected to rise to 8.5 million this year. The airport is particularly well positioned as a connection hub between Europe and North America. Today the airport serves 85 destinations, including 20 in North America, and another 60 across Europe. (Businessfocusmagazine, 2023)
The airport is situated about 50 km from Reykjavik. The travel from the airport to the city center takes approximately 45 minutes and regular airport buses operate in sync with flight arrivals:
The Flybus service (https://flybus.is/) takes passengers to the BSÍ bus terminal in downtown Reykjavík, within walking distance of numerous city center accommodations. Shuttle connections to various hotels and guesthouses can also be arranged through Flybus.
Another option is Airport Direct (https://airportdirect.is/), whose Reykjavík terminal at Skógarhlið 10 is located slightly farther from the city center.
Getting around
Walking: Reykjavik is highly walkable, making exploration easy.
Electric scooters: Electric scooters from companies like Hopp (https://hopp.bike/) and Zolo (https://en.zoloiceland.is/) are widely available throughout central Reykjavik. If you plan to use these, it’s advisable to bring a bike helmet, follow traffic rules, and prioritize safety for yourself and others.
Taxi service: Hopp also provides taxi services bookable via their app, while Hreyfill is a well-known taxi operator (+354-588-5522). Keep in mind that taxi fares are significantly higher than in many other countries.
