Arriving early in Iceland? Here is a list of what you can do!

 

Passengers arriving from Canada and the US often have early stopovers in Iceland. So, even after fulfilling the airport chores, you might have an abundant amount of time as the flight arrives almost 5-7 hours before most  schedules start. Unfortunately, you might have two options, namely changing the hotel or waiting at the airport lobby. But, a third choice could include leaving the airport and start exploring Iceland. The things to do upon early arrival would depend on the airport and nearby attractions. Since almost everyone that comes to Iceland arrives at Keflavik Airport, we will focus on that airport in this article. Note that Keflavik Airport is located around 45 – 50 minutes from Reykjavík, but it is very easy to take the bus, taxi or drive on your own if you have a rental car. If you need more information on how to get from the airport to Reykjavik, you might be interested in this article.
