Transport

There are two ways of getting to Iceland: by airplane and by ferry.

Several international airlines maintain regular flights to Iceland from Europe and North America, Icelandair flies to a range of destinations on both sides of the Atlantic. The international airport of Iceland is at Keflavík, which is 45-minute away from Reykjavík, but it is well connected by regular buses.

Traveling to Iceland on a ferry is the perfect choice if you want to get to the country with your car and if you wish to get as close as possible to the unspoiled nature.
All year-round, the M/S Norröna sails weekly from Denmark to Iceland via the Faroe Islands. The ferry arrives in Seyðisfjörður and the ride takes 2 days between June and August, while between September and May it takes a little longer than 3 days.
