Travelling via Denmark

When landing in Denmark (Kastrup International Airport) you can easily get to the centre of the town by train, Metro or taxi. When going to Greenland you normally leave from Terminal 2.

You can catch the train and the Metro from the end of Terminal 3 in the airport (walking distance from Terminal 2 and free shuttle from Terminal 1). The train goes to Copenhagen Central Station and takes about 15 minutes. The Metro has several stops through the city, but it does not pass by the central station. You can buy tickets to train and metro in Terminal 3, above the railway. Please note that you need Danish coins or credit card. A ticket to the centre costs about DKK 35 (EUR 5).

A taxi to the centre will cost from about DKK 120 (EUR 16).

Travelling via Iceland
When you arrive in Iceland from Europe, you land in Keflavik International Airport. The airport is situated about 50 km from the centre of Reykjavik. However, the flight with Air Iceland to Greenland leaves from Reykjavik Domestic Airport, which is situated in Reykjavik (close to the bus terminal).

It is quite expensive to take a taxi from Keflavik to the centre of Reykjavik. Unless you are 4 people travelling together (and you can share a taxi), the best option is to take the "Flybus", which goes to the bus terminal. The Flybus is connected to all arriving and departing flights at Keflavik airport. It takes about 1 hour and costs 1.950 ISK (11 EUR) per person (one way). You can buy the tickets for the Flybus in the airport.

If you are heading for your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavik, you can buy a "Flybus Plus" ticket (ISK 2.500/EUR 14). Then you can board smaller buses from the bus terminal, which will take you to most of the major hotels and guesthouses in Reykjavik.

Are you going to Reykjavik Domestic Airport from Reykjavik itself (hotel or bus terminal), it is most simple to take a taxi.
