<h2>Reykjav&iacute;k</h2>
The capital and largest city of Iceland, Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital and a popular tourist destination.
With a population of around 200,000 in the Capital Region, the city is Iceland's centre of culture and commerce, surrounded by&nbsp;suburbs and&nbsp;colourful houses.
Reykjavik ranks as one of&nbsp;the safest, cleanest and greenest cities in the world, with good&nbsp;shops, restaurants and bars.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gay Rights in&nbsp;Iceland</h2>
Iceland is very progressive when it comes to LGBT rights. Same-sex marriage has been legal since June 2010 after the parliament amended the law to define marriage as between two individuals.
Same-sex couples have equal access to adoption and In vitro fertilisation (IVF).

<h2>Gay Scene</h2>
The gay scene is quite limited in the Icelandic capital, but a warm welcome can be expected from the locals. The general public is very gay-friendly, so one can be quite open about sexual orientation here.
The small gay scene can be found at Laugavegur, the long main shopping street in the city centre. &nbsp;Kiki Bar and Bravo are the most popular gay venues. Nearby establishments offer both gay and straight crowds a nice place to hang out and enjoy a meal or drink.
Gay dance parties take place at various venues&nbsp;throughout the year. These include the Pink Party taking place twice a year in October/November&nbsp;and&nbsp;January/February during Rainbow Reykjavik, the LGBT winter festival. &nbsp;Check local websites, look for flyers or just ask around.
&nbsp;
<h2>Getting to Reykjavik</h2>
Keflav&iacute;k International Airport (also known as Reykjav&iacute;k-Keflav&iacute;k Airport) is the main international hub airport in Iceland. It is located some 50km (31 miles) from Reykjavik. The airport has direct flights to and from most European capitals and US airports.
(Reykjav&iacute;k Airport, located just 2 kilometres from the city centre, is the main domestic airport serving Reykjav&iacute;k)
The Flybus service goes to Keflav&iacute;k International Airport toReykjav&iacute;k city centre. The journey time is around 45 minutes and costs ISK 2,500. Be aware that a taxi will set you back around ISK 14,000.
&nbsp;
<h2>Getting around Reykjavik</h2>
On foot
It is highly recommended to walk in Reykjavik, as many attractions are within walking distance from the hotel area. The city is very beautiful, and the sidewalk is excellent. Drivers are generally very friendly and will sometimes stop for you even when there is no crossing facility.
By bus
Reykjavik has a public bus system called Str&aelig;t&oacute; that is reliable and clean. The driver cannot give any change, though. Single tickets cost ISK350. If you need to switch buses to get to your final destination, ask the driver for a transfer ticket (skiptimi&eth;i), which is valid for the next 75 minutes on any bus.
If you're staying outside the city centre it may be best to get a Reykjavik Welcome Card, which allows unlimited access to the buses, along with free access to several museums, some discounts and free internet at the hostel. The 'Welcome' cards are available at the Tourist Information Center by Ing&oacute;lfstorg, and also at some hotels and start at ISK 3,700.
By car
As a tourist, you should be able to get around without a car if you're only staying in the city. Driving is recommended though for travel outside of Reykjavik and its suburbs.
By taxi
All taxis are metered and most are very clean and comfortable, but they are also very expensive. The start fee is ISK 600-700 and ISK 200-400 per kilometre. Taking a taxi is, nonetheless, the best way to get home after a night out. &nbsp;Credit cards are accepted.
By bicycle
It is possible to get around Reykjavik by bicycle, albeit with occasional strong winds and a few hills. With few bicycle paths, most cycling is done on the street or on the sidewalk (both are legal). When cycling on the sidewalk, it is important to be considerate of pedestrians as they have the right of way.
&nbsp;
<h2>Where to Stay in Reykjavik</h2>
It's best to say within the city centre. For our list of recommended hotels in Reykjavik, visit the <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/gay-reykjavik-hotels/">Gay Reykjavik Hotels page</a>.
