If you are planning a trip to Reykjavik, what better than to read a Reykjavik City Guide written by an ex-pat and an Icelandic local. I moved here 4 years ago now and have spent a lot of time wandering the streets, capturing Instagram posts, sketching, and making new friends in the downtown pubs, cafes, and restaurants. Ingimar is a local, having lived in Reykjavik most of his life. So, we combined our faves of the city and created the following Reykjavik City Guide - go on, bookmark this post.
How To Get There
Flying into Iceland, you will probably land at Keflavik airport which is about 40minutes from Reykjavik. If you’ve hired a car then head to your pick up but if you are looking for an airport transfer, either buy your ticket onboard IcelandAir or at the desks in the arrivals terminal.
If you have any Tax Free shopping to claim on your way out, the desk for this is to the left - in between arrivals and departures. It’s worth noting that most Icelanders head to duty-free for their booze before baggage claim to save some dosh so if you’re planning on enjoying a little drink, join them.
Welcome to Iceland, you just landed on the moon
