Gamla Höfnin (Old Harbour) and Sundahöfn are the two main harbours. They are known collectively as the Reykjavik Harbour and governed by the Port of Reykjavik. There are no passenger facilities available, as the harbour caters exclusively for cargo ships.

Ferry services: Direct sea journeys to Reykjavik can be made with the cargo shipping company Eimskip (tel: 525 7000; website: www.eimskip.is). Ships sail weekly between the harbour in Reykjavik and Eskifjordur (Iceland), Torshavn (Faroe Islands), Rotterdam and Hamburg (Germany), Aarhus (Denmark) and Fredrikstad (Norway).

Transport to the city: Reykjavik Harbour is situated in northeast Reykjavik, within walking distance of the city centre.
