Reykjavík and the capital city area

It is relatively easy to get around both in Reykjavík, or the capital city area as it is also called, but that area consists of six municipalities, Reykjavík being the biggest, then Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Garðabær, Mosfellsbær and Seltjarnarnes.

The bus network is extensive, and it is relatively easy to figure out.

Commuting In Reykjavik

If you don´t have a bicycle or a car, it is a good idea to learn the bus system here in Reykjavik. It is called Strætó. The website can show you the bus routes, timetables, connections and price-plans. There is even an app that you can download that will allow you to buy tickets on your phone and check bus schedules. Additionally, you can either bring the exact change or buy a bus card. Stræto offers a monthly bus card, which allows you to use the city network. If you buy a three-months card, you will get one month free.

Taxis are most often easy to get, simply call 588 5522 or 561 0000. It is also relatively easy to rent a car, although the period from May to September can be difficult and expensive as rental cars are in high demand among tourists these months.
