Reykjavik

Reikiavik (in english) is the capital of Iceland. Whether you’re visiting to explore Iceland’s geothermal wonders or to experience its creative city life, Reykjavik has plenty to offer. From Barcelona is a 4 hours 45 minutes direct flight. Once you arrive at the International Airport of Keflavík, you have many options to go to the city center, depending on your budget and preferences.

• The cheapest and easiest one, is to take the 'Flybus' which is the airport transfer that has a cost of 27,29€. The bus stop is located right outside the terminal area, and it is scheduled to depart 35 to 45 minutes after every arrival. The best part is that all tickets are flexible on the date, and you can depart at a time most convenient for you. The Keflavík (KEF) airport is 45 minutes away from Reikiavik. 

• If you prefer a private transfer, you can find many companies at Get Your Guide, and I reccomend you to book it in advance. 

• If you are renting a car (which in my opinion is the best option to get to know this beautiful country), you just pick up the car at the airport and you're ready to enjoy the stunning landscapes that Iceland has to offer. As usual, you will find many car rental companies and don't forget to add the full insurance for a worry-free experience. 

Iceland has one main road: the Ring Road, better known as Route 1, the Ring Road or the Iceland Circle. It is literally a circular road that circles the entire island.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Denise Ponziani
Who am I ? I think that I am many things, many moments, many memories with a bit of attitude, good vibes and mostly passion. I have been traveling for +10 years since I moved to Barcelona which is the city I am living now. I’m a passionate traveler with an insatiable love for discovering unique places and exploring the streets of every city like a local. Born and raised in Argentina, where I studied tourism, my curiosity and adventurous spirit have taken me around the world, always on the lookout for street art routes that reveal each place's creative soul. I love getting behind the scenes of the photos shared, uncovering stories and urban secrets as I walk. Every trip is a collection of anecdotes, experiences, and, above all, memorable moments and incredible people I meet along the way. I’m also a huge fan of music and festivals, always on the lookout for the next event that justifies a new adventure. I know Barcelona like the back of my hand and love the constant buzz of the city, where there's always something new to discover and a spot to try. And let's not forget about the food! I believe that a complete experience of a new place involves diving into its culinary offerings. As a vegetarian, I’m always on the hunt for authentic, veggie-friendly spots. Join me on my adventures and share the magic of traveling, exploring, and living every experience to the fullest!
