Many are in for a surprise when they arrive at the International Airport in Iceland. You’ve actually landed in Keflavik, about 50 km drive from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. 

Arriving in the afternoon or late in the evening?

Why not spend your first night at B&B Guesthouse in Keflavik Center and start your journey the next day fully relaxed and ready to explore everything that Iceland has to offer?

We offer free pick up service from the International airport, as well as clean rooms with comfortable beds, free WI-FI and continental breakfast at great prices.

We urge our guests to explore everything that the Reykjanes peninsula has to offer but if you’re eager to get to Reykjavik right away, there are several ways to get there.

Getting from Keflavik to Reykjavik?

There are various ways of getting from Keflavik to Reykjavik. We suggest a taxi, travel by bus or rent a car from B&B Guesthouse.

• Taxi: order a taxi from the local taxi station, A-stöðin at 420-1212
• Bus: Go by bus from the International Airport, choose from Flybus or Airport Express, or take the local bus from Keflavik to Reykjavik, Route 55, or choose going from: Hringbraut 92, 230 Reykjanesbær and going to: Umferðarmiðstöðin (BSÍ).  The local bus goes from Hringbraut, just around the corner from the Guesthouse to Reykjavik.
