Bus: Reykjavik’s public bus system, Straeto, is a very reliable service connecting most of the important areas within the capital and its outskirts. As a general rule, buses run at 20 minute intervals during the daytime rising to every 30 minutes at night and on weekends. Information and bus timetables are available from the Tourist Information Centre at Adalstraeti 2 as well as at the bus stations at Laekjartorg and Hlemmur. Buses here operate a flat fare for usage within a set time period, so you can change buses with a transfer ticket (skiptimidi), and not have to pay again. You do need to have the exact fare though, as change will not be given. Taxi: there are a number of taxi firms operating in Reykjavik and it is usually fairly straightforward to either order one in advance by phone or simply hail on the street. For airport transport, look out for some of the companies that offer special deals to take you to and from the airport. Taxis here are generally of a good standard and they are required to have meters. Car: obviously you can’t drive to Reykjavik from international destinations, but if you want to explore more of Iceland it’s a good idea to hire your own vehicle. It’s hard to get too lost here as there is only one motorway, highway one, which goes around the country’s coastline. Driving in the country’s interior is not really an option. In the depths of winter driving conditions can be quite treacherous. |
