Reykjavik

[Scampi99]

I am arriving at reykjavik early June, and am interested in visiting

the Planetarium. What is the most cost effective way of getting there

for 3 people?

Most cost effective is the Public bus  - will require a bit of walking - good alternative is the Hop-on Hop- off bus but obvious more expensive.

Thanks for letting us know about the HO/HO bus, we have a 5 1/2 hr lay over & that sounds like a good way to kill some time.

When you say layover, you mean at the airport?  Reykjavik is 45 minutes from the airport, and you will need a good 90 minutes to go thru security.  You may not have near as much time as feel like you have.  You could consider going to the Blue Lagoon, as it's just 10 minutes from the airport and shuttles are offered. Entry is timed however, and tickets prices go up as availability goes down (the frequently also sell out.)  It's best to pre-purchase them.

Thanks for the info, that sounds like a better idea, we'll check it out.

The option for the shuttle is at the end of the booking process for the BL.  You can do a dummy booking to get an idea of what you need.  Just FYI, as there isn't much info on their website about it.
