Hotels in Reykjavik
Travelling to Reykjavik
    
A 1351-kilometre ring road called Highway One traces Iceland's entire coastline
- the interior of the country is largely inhospitable. The main routes to the
city are along this road from the east or the west. Akureyri and Isafjördur
are 6 and 10 hours to the west respectively, while Höfn is 9 hours to the
east.
Long-distance buses depart from the BSÍ terminal at the northeastern
edge of Reykjavik City Airport. Over summer, there are daily buses driving north
to Akranes and Snæfellsnes, northeast to Akureyri and east to Skaftafell.
Reykjavik City Airport is on the southern edge of the old town and welcomes
domestic flights from northern towns like Siglufjörður and eastern
destinations like Egilsstaðir, as well as the odd arrival from the other
nations of the sea-scattered West Nordens (Greenland and the Faroe Islands).
Keflavík International Airport is 48kms to the west of Reykjavik, where
its traffic controllers juggle incoming flights from European centres like London,
Paris, Barcelona, Frankfurt and Stockholm. Flights also arrive from US destinations
including Boston, Washington and New York.
Direct sea journeys to Reykjavik can be made with the cargo shipping company
Eimskip, on its vessels Dettifoss and Gudafoss. The ships sail weekly between
the harbour in Reykjavik and Eskifjordur (Iceland), Torshavn (Faroe Islands),
Rotterdam and Hamburg. The Smyril Line operates a weekly car and passenger ferry
service during the summer between Seydisfjordur in eastern Iceland and Torshavn,
Bergen in Norway, Hanstholm in Denmark, and Lerwick in the Shetland Islands.
