Question 4

Is it safe to stay in Grindavik with the volcanic activity?

Accepted Answer

Grindavik town itself has been largely evacuated since late 2023 due to eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula, and some hotels have closed while others have reopened depending on current activity. The Blue Lagoon and the Retreat have reopened and closed several times based on Icelandic Met Office assessments. Always check the status on the day before booking, and consider staying in Reykjanesbaer or Keflavik (15-20 km away) instead. Flights in and out of Keflavik airport, 20 km north of Grindavik, have not been affected.

Question 5

What’s the best area to stay in Reykjavik?

Accepted Answer

The 101 postcode, covering Laugavegur, Bankastraeti and the area around Hallgrimskirkja and Tjornin lake, is the best base for a first visit. Everything walkable, from Harpa concert hall to the harbour where whale watching boats leave, sits within 15 minutes on foot. 105 and 107 are quieter residential extensions still within walking distance, while 108 (near Kringlan mall) and Kopavogur need a bus. Expect 101 hotels to run 30,000-45,000 ISK in summer for a mid-range double.

Question 6

What’s the cheapest month to visit Iceland?

Accepted Answer

October, November and January are the cheapest, with Reykjavik mid-range rates dropping to around 18,000-25,000 ISK compared to 35,000+ in July. You get northern lights and often ice cave access from November onwards, but shorter days: 4-5 hours of daylight in December around Reykjavik. Avoid the New Year window from 27 December to 3 January, when prices jump back to summer levels. February is nearly as cheap and has more daylight than December.

Question 7

How many nights do I need in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Five nights is the realistic minimum to see Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the south coast as far as Jokulsarlon. Seven nights lets you add Snaefellsnes from Stykkisholmur or reach Hofn comfortably. Ten to twelve nights covers the full 1,332 km Ring Road with stops in Vik, Hofn, Myvatn and Akureyri. Add three more nights if you want the Westfjords and Isafjordur, which is a 455 km detour from Reykjavik.

Question 8

How do I get from Keflavik airport to Reykjavik?

Accepted Answer

The Flybus and Airport Direct coaches run to BSI terminal in Reykjavik in about 50 minutes and cost 3,999-4,499 ISK one way, timed to every arriving flight. A taxi is 20,000-25,000 ISK for the 47 km, and hire cars are picked up from lots a short shuttle from the terminal. There is no train. If your flight lands after midnight, the Flybus still runs; it’s the most reliable option in winter weather.
