التنقل

• النقل العام

  Strætó (Klappið app)

  Reykjavík capital-area buses; pay in the Klappið app or with exact cash (drivers give no change). Tickets are valid for 75 minutes. Long-distance Strætó buses are infrequent.

• تأجير السيارات

  Car rental

  The most common way to see the country. Buy gravel and sand/ash protection: wind-blown sand and gravel damage has led to large repair bills. F-roads need a 4x4 and are open only in summer. Check road.is and safetravel.is daily.

• الحافلات

  Flybus / airport buses

  Scheduled buses link Keflavík Airport with Reykjavík bus terminals and hotels; much cheaper than a taxi.

• السكوترات الكهربائية

  Hopp

  Local app for e-scooters in Reykjavík and other towns; Hopp also offers taxi rides in the capital area. Uber and Bolt do not operate in Iceland.

• سيارة أجرة

  Licensed taxis (Hreyfill, BSR)

  Metered and expensive: a taxi from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík costs roughly 20,000-25,000 ISK (varies).

• الحافلات

  Organised day tours

  Many visitors without a car use bus tours from Reykjavík to the Golden Circle, south coast and northern lights. Compare operators and read cancellation terms.

المال والنقد

العملة: ISK · Icelandic króna

Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis, petrol stations, souvenir stands and remote cafes, so most visitors never need cash. Unmanned petrol pumps need a card with a PIN or a prepaid fuel card. Always choose to pay in ISK.
