Formalities for travelling to Reykjavik
- Entry requirements: If you're an EU national, and you’re staying in the country for less than three months, you can enter Iceland easily with a valid passport or identity card.
- Currency: you'll be paying for your lopi, the typical Icelandic wool sweater, in Icelandic krona. One hundred krona is worth about seventy cents, in terms of euros. Make the most of the InterChange kiosk (one in each of the terminals) before you fly and ensure you have the money you need to cover your initial expenses when you arrive.
Your Nice-Reykjavik direct flight
Your journey to the Icelandic capital starts in Terminal 1 at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, home of Icelandair, the only airline to offer a non-stop Nice-Reykjavik flight.
Start your journey on a good note! To avoid any issues, the first rule is to arrive at the airport an hour before take-off. Possibly fifteen minutes before that if you have baggage to drop off or a ticket to pick up at the airline check-in desk. Why allow so much time? To pass through the necessary security checks with peace of mind and without any stress. These formalities will be over as soon as you find yourself sitting in front of a coffee or an indulgent meal or wandering around the airport shops. Suddenly you’ll feel like you’re really on holiday. It happens to everyone!

Arriving in Reykjavik
Your Nice-Reykjavik flight with Icelandair will take you to Leifur Eiriksson Terminal at Keflavik Airport. This is the only international airport serving the capital (Reykjavik Airport is reserved for domestic flights and those to Greenland). It is located about 50 kilometres from the city, which you can get to using the following modes of transport :
- bus : several companies provide connections to the capital. But be warned, because many of the streets in Reykjavik’s city centre have banned heavy vehicles, each company has a terminus. Some are further from the centre, some are closer. Make sure you compare the different routes before you depart. Each company runs one to two departures every hour. The journey takes just under an hour.
- minibus : a convenient solution if your baggage is bulky. These small shuttles will take you to your hotel, wherever it is in Reykjavik. However, it costs twice as much as a typical bus ride.
- a taxi: Icelandic taxis take up to four passengers, without it costing any extra, as they only charge for the mileage. But it costs more than a hundred euros to get from the airport to Reykjavik’s city centre. A good option for those travelling together in a group.
- hire car: There are four rental companies at Keflavik Airport, all located in the Arrivals Hall. This is the best option if you want to explore the island.
What to do in
Reykjavik ?
The Icelandic capital is by far the largest city in the country. But in a country with a population of barely three hundred thousand, there is no such thing as a metropolis. Reykjavik is a peaceful, picturesque and thriving city. It’s an excellent starting point to visit the rest of the island, with pipes gleaned from natives. These are found in the city’s many heated swimming pools or in the bars and nightclubs on Laugavegur Street, home of the Icelandic night birds. They're not shy and they easily start a discussion. Because in Iceland, nature is wild, not the inhabitants!

Unique nature
See more See lessDo you love tall glass buildings, luxury shops, fine sand beaches and Italian cars? Then pass this one by! Iceland is simplicity incarnated, a wonderland led by nature where mankind is more of an onlooker than a participant. Straddling the Atlantic and the Arctic, Europe and America, divided between the fire that devours its underground and the ice that covers some of its land, this island, which is tough like the first Vikings that settled there a thousand years ago, offers its visitors fascinating landscapes. Visit as a couple to share what really matters, a moment of relaxation in the midnight sun and a moment of magic watching the Northern Lights. Enjoy it as a family, playing in the warm waters of a volcanic lake, collecting ice crystals on the black sand beaches, affirming your love for nature and the desire to protect it each day. Have fun with friends, forgetting any seriousness in the pubs of Reykjavik before regaining a little wisdom in the spectacular plains of the Golden Circle.

The top 10 things to do in Iceland
See more See less- Wander around Reykjavik. Stroll along the waterfront to the Sun Voyager, a large sculpture inspired by the drakkars, and stroll through the pedestrianised streets in the historic centre, amidst the multicoloured houses.
- Visit Hallgrimskirkja Church, which is 73 metres high. Its silhouette is reminiscent of a space shuttle. But the sky is visited more by means of prayer or even emotion when the organist puts his instrument’s 5275 pipes to use.
- Try the Icelandic cuisine. Chefs compete in terms of creativity, to adapt traditional dishes of fresh or dried fish or fermented shark, smoked or fresh lamb, lobster, skyr and, more puzzling, puffin, with a modern twist.
- Walk up Laugavegur Street both day and night. During the day, enjoy this picturesque route lined with brightly coloured houses and fashion boutiques. At night, you’ll be able to experience the “runtur”, the pub crawl and its good-natured spirit.
- Dive between two continents. At the heart of Thingvellir National Park, the Silfra fault marks the separation between the American and European tectonic plates. Its crystal-clear waters allow for an amazing underwater visit, whether snorkelling or diving.
- Watch the whales. Iceland may still allow them to be hunted, but this is becoming increasingly rare. Now, minke whales, humpback whales and whales are filling up more nature lovers' cameras.
- Retreat to the warm, milky waters of the Bláa Lónið, the Blue Lagoon. Bordered by black lava, the most famous of the island’s hot-water lakes is known for its healing powers. A rare moment of relaxation.
- Add some colour to your day as you head to the glacier lagoon. “Jökulsárlón” in Icelandic! The black sand on “Diamond Beach”, its other name, is dotted with large pieces of white or blue ice. Perfect!
- Get up close to the famous Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Its spray is felt for miles around. Admire the rainbows that form over the whirlpools. Extend your walk to Selfoss, another memorable waterfall.
- Feel the hot air from the volcanoes. Take a look at the Geysir and Strokkur geysers. Get close to the lava flows on the sides of Geldingadalur. Descend nearly 200 metres below the ground, into the bowels of Thrihnukagigur, the “three peak crater”.

What is the best time of year to visit Reykjavik?
The Icelandic winter is tough, but it offers the most seasoned adventurers moments of pure beauty, starting with a view of the famous Northern Lights. They illuminate the sky from September to April. Nevertheless, the most favourable season to discover Iceland is the summer. With a maximum of 20°, temperatures are far from those experienced by the Promenade des Anglais. But it’s enough to enjoy long walks amidst the island’s spectacular scenery. During this season, in particular, you can enjoy an atmosphere that is out of the norm; that of the midnight sun! The stars hardly set for weeks, illuminating warm, romantic light during the summer nights.
