Reykjavik by bus
If you arrive at Keflavík International Airport, as most tourists do, the best way to get into the city is by the FlyBus. Its first stop in Reykjavík is the main bus terminal, called BSÍ (45 minute ride), which is within walking distance of the city centre. The bus leaves roughly every half hour, on the half hour, during the summer months and more often in the early morning. The first leaves at 4:40 and tickets can be purchased at BSI or at the airport for ISK 1950 (ISK 3500 for a return ticket). Buses leaving Keflavík are coordinated with all arriving flights and will leave 34-45 minutes after each flight arrives. Tickets can (but generally need not) be purchased online before on the .
As part of "FlyBus+", after BSI, the coach can drop people off at the major hotels. It is neccesary to tell the driver that you are intending to go to a specific hotel before the bus leaves from Keflavík. If, for some reason, the FlyBus does not stop at your hotel, you can take local buses nr. 1, 3, 6, 14 and 15 from just across the street from the BSÍ bus terminal (which is only a terminal for the nationwide bus system, not the capital area bus system, called Strætó).
From West Iceland, South Iceland and Akureyri, Reykjavík is relatively well served by busses operated by Sterna and Reykjavík Excursions . If you find yourself in other parts of the country, it will be difficult to find a direct bus route to Reykjavík. The best option, if relying on buses, is to first get into the aforementioned regions and catch a bus to Reykjavík from there. This will probably require an overnight stay.
