Quick Transportation Tips
Download the Strætó app before arrival to buy bus tickets digitally — Reykjavik's public bus network runs entirely on this platform and paper tickets are generally not sold onboard.
The Flybus airport shuttle connects Keflavík International Airport to the BSÍ Bus Terminal in central Reykjavik — book in advance as it is the most straightforward public transfer option from the airport.
Reykjavik has no metro or tram system — the Strætó city bus network is the only public transit, so plan connections carefully as service frequency varies by route.
The city centre (Miðborg) is compact and walkable — on dry days, most attractions between Hallgrímskirkja and the Old Harbour are reachable on foot without needing transit.
