You should arrive at Keflavík (Reykjavík) International Airport with the identification code KEF. Icelandair offers direct flights from many destinations, but you can use many other airlines. Most flights from continental Europe land at KEF in the late evening or around midnight. 

Once you arrive at Keflavík International Airport (KEF), you will need to take a bus to Reykjavík BSÍ (central bus station). The most convenient way is to book the “flybus”. You can do it online here https://www.re.is/tour/flybus/.

NOTE: We recommend buying a return journey from Reykjavík to Keflavík as you get a discount for buying both transfers in one package. The schedule is flexible, and you can modify your booking after purchase according to your needs. You can also always buy Flybus tickets after your arrival at the airport in the arrival hall.

Flybus service is connected to all arrivals to KEF at any time of the day or night.

Travel to your hotel from BSÍ (central bus station) in Reykjavík can be easy:

• RECOMMENDED: Use Flybus+ and when ordering your Flybus, order your transfer directly to your hotel for a minor extra fee. When ordering a ticket online, you need to choose your hotel. If buying Flybus ticket after arrival at the arrival hall at KEF, tell the local staff your hotel name.

• Take local public transport from BSÍ to the nearest bus stop. For detailed route planning, use Google Maps or https://www.straeto.is/en.
  

A more sustainable option to flying is to take the Norröna ferry from northern Denmark (port of Hirtshals) via the Faroe Islands to the Eastern Iceland port of Seyðisfjörður.

You can book your ticket at https://www.smyrilline.com/iceland/

NOTE:

• The cruise takes approximately 50 hours, and it includes two nights on board the ferry.
• Seyðisfjörður is on the other side of Iceland; unless you brought your own car, you need to take a bus from Seyðisfjörður to the regional capital of East Iceland, Egilstadir, and from there a bus to Reykjavík (approximately 10 hours journey with a change in Akureyri).
• Alternatively, you can take a domestic flight from Egilstadir to Reykjavík... see the Icelandair website for schedule and prices.

You can use the public transport, Straeto:

From Fosshotel Baron and Fosshotel Lind: take bus No. 5 from Laugavegur to Gamla Hringbraut, and change to bus No. 8 to HR

From Reykjavík Marina Hotel: take bus No. 3 from Mýrargata to Gamla Hringbraut, and change there for bus No. 8 to HR
