FlyBus
If you are not planning on renting a car, the most common and best way for small groups is the FlyBus from Keflavik International Airport.
When it comes to selecting the Flybus you have two options: the regular Flybus which takes you to the central bus station at BSÍ and the Flybus+ which drops you off at a selected location.
Your nearest drop-off location is Bus Stop – 4 Miðbakki Harbor (6 min walking)
If you have a return ticket with FlyBus it’s most convenient for you to take the bus to the airport from BSÍ bus station.
