You can take the bus from the center of town-price is the basic fare. It's a short walk from the bus stop. We were a bit confused on where to go once the bus stopped, but there was a passenger who told the bus driver where we needed to go, and she relayed the info on to us. Everyone is very helpful in Iceland, so don't hesitate to ask. I even wrote the name of the stop I needed on a paper, showed it to the driver and she made sure we got off at the right place. When we were ready to leave, it was the same bus to pick us up so she asked how we enjoyed the visit. Love the people of Iceland!

No that is not necessary. Just be there no later than 13:00 (1 pm). Looking forward to seeing you. Best regards, Gudrun Helga

1,650 Kronas/ISK in 2018 for adults. Free admission for children, elderly and disabled.

One option to try is the flea market...

Yes, you can do the entire thing yourself, we took a bus there and walked around with the kids. Had a great time and even eavesdropped a bit on some of the other tours that were there. No one seemed to mind!

Yes very close to outdoor areas and the front door!

Hi Nina, the guided tour is in English and it takes just over an hour. Best regards, Gudrun Helga Stefansdottir, marketing manager

We just visited two weeks ago almost. We got the 72 hour Reykjavik card that allowed us free on buses locally and into a good number of museums and galleries plus a ferry trip over to Videy island for a walk about hour. I YouTubed the Arbær outdoor museum trip we did including the bus stop wher we started off by the town hall. My channel is Terry McGeary and it is a recent upload so easy to find it (with my Aurora one!). Greyline coaches provided a good service for our tour from Reykjavik to find the Northern Lights but local bus will take you to Arbær museum near Artun.

I also took the bus there. It took about 40 minutes or so from city centre but would only take about 15 by car without all the stops. City maps are provided at hotels, etc. which will have the museum on it. A tour isn’t necessary since there are signs explaining what you’re looking at. Tours were only offered at 1:00 when I was there last week (October). I walked around and explored the area myself. There is also a nice park area with a small zoo, an athletic centre, geothermal pools and one of their famous hotdog stands all in that end of town.
