✦Fly into KEF (Keflavík International Airport).

✦There are many options to explore for transport to the hotel once landing.

✦Luggage Storage in Reykjavik:

If you arrive to Reykjavik early (before the official check in time) and have booked a hotel for the night you can always bring your luggage to the hotel and they will store it for you until it's time to check in. For those not staying in the city that first evening but may still want to explore the city without their luggage in tow there are a few options for storage. Click the link to be taken to a google map of Luggage Storage Locations in Reykjavik.

✦Safe Travel & How to Drive in Iceland:

For all its beauty, our country is not entirely harmless. If you plan on exploring Icelandic nature, be on the safe side and have a look at safetravel.is and learn more about How to drive in Iceland. Here are more general information about transport in Iceland. It might be good to learn how to drive with Elfis :)

During the summer, please be careful driving in the countryside as the sheep's walk freely in Iceland between May and early September each year.

Driving off-road in Iceland is illegal and there is a big fine for that sort of activity and causes a big scar on the environment. So please respect nature, drive on marked roads and save some money.

✦Road Conditions:

The Icelandic Road Administration (ICERA) presents a subset of the Icelandic web pages, in English. The information presented is primarily about road condition, weather and such basic information that can assist the foreign traveller in Iceland. Road condition information is entered in the morning and updated as needed during the day. Weather information is in most cases updated 1-2 times every hour around the clock: Road conditions and weather and Traffic Info

✦Mobile / Cell phone:

See information on mobile phone coverage with Síminn in Iceland. You can buy sim card on the Icelandic airplanes, at the airport, downtown in 10/11 supermarket. You can also head to Kringlan shopping mall and there you will have more options.

✦Exchanging Money:

All banks exchange currency. Online currency converter.

The banks in Reykjavík are usually closed during weekend. You can also change money at the Tourist information in Aðalstræti 2, in the city center, as well as in some hotels. It’s highly doubtful you’ll be anywhere that doesn’t accept international credit cards. Visa and Mastercard are pretty much accepted everywhere, and most vendors accept Amex. If you want to stay on the safe side and bring some cash then I suggest Icelandic Krona. You won’t be able to get those outside Iceland so I suggest you visit a bank at the airport after you land in Iceland.

✦Tax Refund:

You can get your tax-free back at Keflavík airport, which is open during departing flights, from 5:30 every morning. If you have tax-refund for an item for less than 5.000 ISK you do not have to show the item, only the receipt. If the tax-refund is more than 5.000 ISK per item, you can not check in that item and need to show it in the tax-refund office after check in.
