Reykjavik Airport, or Reykjavik International Airport, mainly serves as the domestic airport serving Reykjavík, Iceland, and is located about two kilometres away from the city centre. It generally provides flights within Iceland and to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, not too many other ventures. Being close to the Landspítali University Hospital at Hringbraut makes it the primary facilitator of medical flights in Iceland.
Reykjavik Airport is practically located in the city centre and so it puts you in the right place to access either Reykjavik city or any destination in Iceland. Talking about on-site hotels would be a bit strange when you have the best Iceland has to offer at your disposal just by taking a ride into town. If you’re looking to enjoy an unforgettable visit to Reykjavik, don’t waste your time and car hire from one of the companies present at the terminal or hire a readily available Taxi operator and find the accommodation that best suit your needs.
Reykjavik Airport also puts you in the right place to enjoy the tourist attractions of Iceland. If you’re a first time visitor you may very well plan ahead and extend your stay because there are plenty of sites to sweep you off your feet. The so called “Nightlife Capital of the North” will set you up with curious situations where a café you visited early in the day turns into a bar at night, and the up until recently banned beer turned out to be quite a popular discovery for Icelanders. If the hustle and bustle of the city is not to your tastes, there are ample opportunities to explore the countryside and see all the locations that the Game of Thrones was filmed at with your own eyes.
Transport to and from Reykjavik Airport is easily handled by the diligent transport service options at your disposal. Since it serves domestic passengers primarily it is most likely that you will be accessing it from another Icelandic airport. However, any route that takes you to Reykjavik itself is also a route to the Airport, so if arriving from Keflavik International Airport, you will most probably be taking the 50 kilometre, but fortunately scenic, ride along Reykanesbraut 41. Great many companies have a presence at, and in the vicinity of, Reykjavik Airport. Apart from the already mentioned car hires, there are also helicopter services, fuelling services, flight schools and services, restaurants, and even a geothermal beach. If that’s not enough, downtown Reykjavik is pretty much the neighbourhood Reykjavik Airport is in, so all your catering, retail and communication needs can easily be satisfied there.
