🏔️ About Mjódd Terminal

Reykjavík's Central Bus Station

Mjódd is the beating heart of Reykjavík's public transit system. Located in the eastern part of the city, the terminal has 5 platforms (A–E) — platforms A–D serve urban Strætó routes within the capital area, while platform E handles all long-distance countryside buses (Routes 50–57 and beyond).

The terminal features a heated indoor waiting area, real-time departure screens, a Strætó information desk, and is right next to the Mjódd shopping centre with a grocery store, cafés, and other services. Most city bus routes pass through Mjódd every 15–30 minutes on weekdays.

💡
Transfer Hub

Mjódd is where city meets countryside. If you're heading outside the capital area, look for Platform E — that's where Routes 50, 51, 52, 57 and other long-distance buses depart.

Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Museum 2 km away (air distance)

The museum, part of the Reykjavík City Museum, began collecting buildings that were threatened by redevelopment in the city centre. Instead of demolishing them, they were moved here and restored. Together they give a vivid sense of how Reykjavík grew from a small fishing and farming settlement into a modern capital over the past two centuries.

Sky Lagoon 3 km away (air distance)

Opened in 2021, the spa takes inspiration from Icelandic bathing traditions and turf-house architecture. Guests follow a multi-step ritual that alternates warm water, cold plunge, sauna, steam and a skin scrub. The geothermal water is drawn from nearby sources and mixed to keep the lagoon at a comfortable temperature.

Perlan 4 km away (air distance)

Plan two to three hours if you want to see the exhibits as well as the observation deck. Booking tickets in advance is wise in summer. Afterwards, the woodland trails on Öskjuhlíð hill are great for a short walk, and Nauthólsvík geothermal beach is just a few minutes away. In winter, wear warm layers for the ice cave.
