Getting from the airport
to and from Reykjavik
Distance
It's about 50 kilometers (35 miles) away and normally takes around 50 minutes.
Bus via taxi
An airport bus meets all arrivals and departures - and will drop you off at Reykjavik hotels and some guest houses. Most visitors choose the bus because its one-way fare is about $16 dollars or 12 euros compared to about $110 dollars or 90 euros for a taxi.
Blue Lagoon stopover
Some tour companies (including Iceland Excursions) operate a shuttle bus service that allows you to spend time at the Hillman Wonder medal wining Blue Lagoon while you are traveling from the international airport to Reykjavik - or in the reverse direction. Your luggage is stored safely in the luggage compartment while you enjoy the site.
