Transportation from Reykjavik City Center to Keflavík International Airport
Although Keflavík International Airport is approximately 50 km from Reykjavik, it is not difficult to reach the airport thanks to the city's regular infrastructure.
The easiest way to reach Keflavík Airport from Reykjavik city center is to take a taxi. You cannot hail taxis from the street in Iceland, instead you have to go to a taxi stand or call them to your location using the taxi companies' own apps. Icelandic taxis all have a meter and almost all accept credit cards.
Two private bus companies carry passengers from the city center to Keflavík Airport. Flybus, one of them, picks you up from your hotel at certain times throughout the day and takes you to the airport. The other company that provides this service, Airport Direct, also picks you up from your hotel or the nearest bus stop to your hotel.
Both companies reach the airport in approximately 45 minutes. It is recommended to use this service 3-4 hours before your flight so that you can reach the airport in the time period recommended by the authorities.
The most economical way of this journey is to use public transportation. You reach the airport after a 60-75-minute journey by bus number 55. The first flight departs from BSI Bus Terminal on weekdays, while on weekends it is approximately 10 km. It departs from the Fjörður stop at a distance. The departure times vary considerably. You can check the most up-to-date information on the Straeto website.
Transportation from Vágar Airport to Tórshavn City Center
Vágar Airport is the only airport in the Faroe Islands, an autonomous region of Denmark. The most economical journey from the airport, which is 40 km away from the city center, to the city center is with the airport bus number 300.
This bus route starts from Sørvágur, 2 km from the airport, stops at the airport occasionally and ends in the city center of Tórshavn, about 40 km away.
There are reciprocal flights 7 days a week. You can pay for the ticket on the bus. Departure times on public holidays operate on a Sunday schedule. You can check the official website of the airport to see all departure times and stop names.
Although there are many different taxi companies on the island, unlike other countries, you may not always find a taxi at the airport here. So if you want to take a taxi, be sure to book one online before you start your journey. The two largest taxi companies on the island have the most extensive service network. These are Auto and Airport Taxi.
The journey to the city center, which is approximately 40 km away, takes an average of 45 minutes. It is also worth remembering that the taxis here only take 3 passengers. In this context, if you are already going to make an online reservation, and if you are crowded with 3 people, you can also arrange a private airport transfer directly from a professional site.
Although there is an extensive bus and ferry network, the places to see in the Faroe Islands are generally far from major settlements. That's why, by renting a car from the airport, you can both get your transfer from Vágar Airport to the city center and visit the must-visit places of the Faroe Islands with your own rhythm.
When you exit the terminal building and walk 100 meters to your left, you will see the offices of car rental companies. Here you can find the offices of both local companies and global brands such as Avis or Hertz. Since the road quality of the Faroe Islands is very high, you will not have a problem even if you prefer the smallest and most economical car.
