Reykjavík City Card FAQ

The Reykjavík City Card is available for 24, 48 or 72 hours. The current price for each option is shown in the booking window. For more details, see the Prices page.

After purchasing online you immediately receive a voucher by email. In Reykjavík you exchange this for the physical City Card at one of the collection points, such as the Reykjavík Art Museum or one of the City Museum sites.

Collection points include the Reykjavík Art Museum (Hafnarhús, Kjarvalsstaðir, Ásmundarsafn) and the City Museums, including the Settlement Exhibition, the Photography Museum, Árbær Open Air Museum and the Maritime Museum.

Yes. You can select the discounted children's price in the booking window. Children and young people under 18 already get free admission to the city museums in most cases; small fees may apply for buses, pools or the family zoo depending on age.

The validity period begins with the first use or collection of the card. From that point it is valid for 24, 48 or 72 consecutive hours, depending on the option you choose. When you collect the card you can note a later start time if you prefer.

No, there are no time-of-day restrictions. Within the validity period you can use museums, pools and buses at any time of day, until the chosen number of hours has elapsed.

Each City Card is intended for one person and should not be handed on to others. It cannot be used by more than one person at the same time.

A lost card is not replaced or refunded. Treat it like cash - if it is lost you will need to buy a new one, as a lost pass cannot be replaced or reimbursed. Keep it somewhere safe.

The pass is valid on all Strætó city bus lines in Reykjavík and the surrounding municipalities, with unlimited rides for the duration of the pass. Show the card when boarding. For more details, see the Public Transport page.

No. The airport bus (Strætó line 55 to Keflavík) is not included and must be paid for separately. The private Flybus shuttle is also not part of the card.

Yes. The return ferry crossing to Viðey island is included in the City Card. Show the card to staff at the ferry pier.

The Reykjavík City Card gives you one free admission to 17 museums and galleries as well as the city's geothermal pools. It also covers Strætó city buses, the Viðey ferry and discounts on tours, shopping and services. See the full list on the Attractions page.

Within the validity period you can visit as many different included attractions as you like. However, usually only one free admission per attraction is included; repeat visits to the same attraction are not normally covered.

No, the City Card does not include priority access. You queue as normal like all other visitors, but save time because there is no need to buy tickets on the spot.

When booking via Tiqets, cancellation or rescheduling is possible up to 23:59 on the day before the planned start of use. Once the card has been redeemed and activated, no refund is possible. The conditions on your voucher are binding.

You only need the voucher when you arrive to exchange it for the physical card. You can show it printed or on your smartphone. Keep the physical card safe once you have it, as it is treated like cash.
