*daily rates in Reykjavik Airport based on a 1 day rental (24hr period) and for guidance purposes only.

Reykjavik Airport is a little unusual. Serving the capital, it only has domestic and very short haul flights because of short runways. Fly in from any of the outlying airports or from Greenland or the Faroe Islands and you’ll soon find that a hire car is a necessity.


Reykjavik Airport Mini Guide

Major Airlines that Operate From Reykjavik Airport
Only five airlines operate at the airport but it’s the main hub for Eagle Air and Air Iceland, both domestic carriers. You can fly to the Faroe Islands from there with Atlantic Airways.

Major Destinations Served by the Airport
All the destinations flown to from Reykjavik Airport are domestic with the exception of short hop flights to airports in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. To access bigger international destinations, you’ll have to travel the 50km to Keflavik Airport.

Onward Journey From the Airport
Reykjavik Airport is very close to the city centre and there are buses and taxis available for the journey. You may find that a hire car is a better option for flexibility and if you want to explore further afield. Whilst comparatively expensive compared to other European countries, renting through Rhino will reduce the cost.

Driving Conditions
If you’re simply heading into the capital, even the winter weather shouldn’t cause a problem as the airport road is almost always clear. In bad weather snow blowers and ploughs ensure that any delays are minimised. If you are heading out of the city in winter, snow chains or winter tyres should be chosen as an option when booking.

Places to Stay
We like the Hotel Blu Saga, part of the Radisson chain but it’s expensive at over 200 euros a night whilst the CenterHotel Plaza is slightly cheaper but just as nice.

Must See Places Near Keflavik Airport
  • The National Museum of Iceland. There, you’ll discover the story of how Iceland became populated and how it developed over the millennia
  • The Culture House. This is a must see for a variety of reasons. It has a great display on the geological history of Iceland as well as housing one of the most important collections of medieval manuscripts in the world
  • The thermal pools. Laugardalslaug is the biggest and best of the thermal pools in the city and has lots of different bathing areas for all the family including hot baths, waterslides and ice pools.
  • Laugavegur is the main shopping district of the city and has many unique shopping outlets for souvenirs and gifts
