Car & motorcycle
Car
Akureyri introduced new parking restrictions in 2006. In the central area you must now put a parking disk (available free from all shops, guesthouses and banks) on display in your car. Spaces are marked with maximum stay allowed (from 15 minutes to two hours). Although you do not need to pay for parking, you will be slapped with a fine (Ikr500 to Ikr2000) if you exceed your allotted time.
Bus & tram
Bus
Akureyri is easy to get around on foot, but there’s a regular town bus service (fares Ikr200, running from 6.20am to 11.30pm daily). Unfortunately, it doesn’t go to the airport.
Local transport
Taxi
The BSO taxi stand (461 1010) is on the corner of Strandgata and Hofsbót. Taxis may be booked 24 hours a day.
Bicycle
Skíðaþjónustan (462 1713; Fjölnisgata 4b), located northwest of the town centre, hires out bicycles for about Ikr1500 per day. You can negotiate cheaper rates for weekends and week-long rentals.
