Transportation
While most international travelers will fly into Keflavik international airport, it’s also possible to take the weekly boat from Denmark, which takes around two days. You can travel around the country by bus, but it’s extremely expensive and not well served.
The best course of action is to rent a car and explore it on your own. Bear in mind that driving during the winter is riskier and you may need to book a four-wheel drive vehicle well in advance due to high demand. If you have time on your hands, cycling and hitchhiking are also good options and a great way to move around.
