Getting around in Reykjavik

Getting around in lovely Reykjavik city should be fairly easy. The downtown area is best explored on foot, since it's a pretty small area and inconvenient traffic regulations. If you're planning to go somewhere outside the downtown area, you can choose between a rental car, a taxi or the bus. 

Taxis are available anywhere in the capital area. In downtown Reykjavik, they can be found in various designated places. More often than not they are also available outside the major hotels in Reykjavik. If not, you can always ask the staff at the front desk to call you a cab. You can spot them by their yellow (and sometimes pink) "taxi" sign on the roof. All taxis charge by the meter. 

If you plan on taking the bus to your destination, we advise you to use the Reykjavik bus website to get information on schedules and routes. The website offers an online search engine to find the most convenient route to your destination.
