Getting around by bus and coach Iceland

It's the departure point for most regular buses, shuttles to Keflavik airport (such as Fly Bus) and excursions from Reykjavik. The building may not look like much, but it has ticket counters, a recommendable cafeteria, toilets, an info point and luggage storage, which is always accessible. From the bus station, you can walk to the capital's city center in around 20 minutes, mainly through residential areas.

Want to get to Akranes by public transport? You'll need to take the Straeto buses, recognizable by their yellow and red colors.

Bus 57 (Reykjavík-Akureyri) serves Akranes from the capital in around 45 minutes. From Akureyri, the journey is much longer, taking around 6 hours! The routes remain regular, with no less than 11 buses a day to and from the capital on weekdays, 6 or 7 on Saturdays and 8 on Sundays. See the website for timetables and routes.

Vik is a small town on the south coast of Iceland. However, there seem to be a few options for getting to Vik by bus. The STRAETO bus company runs a line (no. 51) from Reykjavik to Vik, departing every weekday except weekends. It's important to note that bus timetables in Iceland can vary from season to season, so it's advisable to check before planning your trip.
