Reykjavik wraps around a scatter of low peninsulas, coves and straits at the head of a wide bay, further from the equator than any other national capital. Steam from the geothermal fields drifts over its outer suburbs, and hills rise abruptly just behind them.
Reykjavík is reached by Route 1 (Hringvegur, the Ring Road), Route 41 (Reykjanesbraut) and Route 49 (Miklabraut). Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Streets in the old centre are narrow, a smaller car is easier.
Central streets are metered, and the newer machines take cards as well as coins. When kerbside spaces run out, large car parks sit by the harbour and opposite Kolaportið, the flea market.
Reykjanesbraut brings traffic in from the west, while the Ring Road arrives from both the north and the east. Inbound traffic from South and West Iceland jams heavily on summer Sundays, and in the centre many streets are one-way, with some shut to cars in good weather.
Keflavík International Airport is linked to the city by Strætó public buses as well as coaches run by Reykjavík Excursions and Gray Line. The domestic Reykjavík Airport sits beside the city centre, with separate terminals on its west and east sides depending on the airline.
