Travel & Logistics FAQ
Everything you need to plan your trip to Reykjavík for Atlas Digital Summit 2026 — visas, weather, airport transport, dress code, and accessibility.
Visa & Entry
Iceland is part of the Schengen Area (not the EU). Most attendees from the EU/EEA, UK, US, and Canada do not need a visa for short business visits, but rules vary by nationality — always verify with official sources before booking.
Weather & What to Pack
Late September in Reykjavík is early autumn — cool, breezy, and often wet. Layers and a windproof shell are non-negotiable.
Getting from KEF Airport
You'll fly into Keflavík International Airport (KEF), ~50 km (31 miles) southwest of Reykjavík — a 45–50 minute drive on the Reykjanesbraut (Route 41), Iceland's only motorway-grade road. There is no train. Your realistic options are shuttle bus, private taxi/transfer, or rental car.
Getting Around Reykjavík
Central Reykjavík is small, flat, and walkable — you can cross downtown in 20 minutes. For everything else there's the Strætó city bus, taxis, and e-scooters. No metro, no trams, no Uber.
What to Pack & Dress Code
Late September in Reykjavík is early autumn — cool, wet, and windy — but you'll spend most of your time indoors at a C-level executive gathering. Pack in layers you can peel on and off between a rain-lashed walk to the venue and a warm theater.
Money, Cards & Tipping
Iceland is one of the world's most card-friendly countries — you can genuinely leave the trip without touching cash. Tipping is not part of the culture.
Accessibility
We want every confirmed attendee to participate fully. Reach out ahead of time and we'll coordinate directly with the venue and hotel.
