John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) can be accessed from Van Wyck Expressway or the JFK Expressway via Belt Parkway. Getting to JFK without a car is easy; take the AirTrain system, the subway, bus service or taxi.
Flights from JFK to Keflavik International Airport (KEF) require one stop, so your trip can take anywhere from 11 to 20 hours. Once in Reykjavik, take the Flybus+ directly to your hotel.
As Iceland’s capital and largest city, Reykjavik offers plenty of sites and points of interest. Tour the National Museum of Iceland, the National Gallery of Iceland and the Viking Maritime Museum. View the famous Sun Voyager sculpture, the Perlan landmark building and the impressive Hallgrimskirkja parish church, the sixth tallest architectural structure in the country.
A subarctic climate means Reykjavik experiences dark, damp, chilly winters. Summers are quite mild and sunny with temps hitting highs around 55 degrees. If you’re looking to extend your vacation, book an onward flight to Europe; KEF flights depart to Frankfurt, London and Paris daily. Before boarding, however, take advantage of the airport’s tax and duty-free status, which allows travelers to shop for Icelandic products at up to 50 percent less than nearby retailers.
