Being a small city, getting around in Reykjavik is easy. There can be traffic though, depending on the time of day.

By foot – Definitely the best (and cheapest) mode of transport in Reykjavik.

By bike – Biking around town is easy and safe with roads open to bicyclists along with some bike paths. Just watch out for cobblestones.

Car – Cars are a normal sight in Reykjavik and with them comes traffic. You almost certainly won’t need a car to see the city but for trips further afield a rental car is well advised.

Bus – Buses serve routes both in the city itself and to other destinations around Iceland. Change isn’t given on the local buses so make sure you have the exact fare ready.
