PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TRANSPORTATION

Reykjavik is a relatively small city, and everything is within walking distance. Make sure to bring good shoes as well as warm wind-and-rain-friendly clothes for the Industry Trip. The weather can be quite unpredictable, so please be prepared for sunshine, rain and lots of rainbows! You can check the weather forecast here: (you can also check Northern lights forecast here) https:// en.vedur.is/weather/forecasts/areas/ A big part of Icelandic culture revolves around outdoor swimming pools, which offer saunas, steam baths and hot tubs. For example, Sundhöllin swimming pool is located downtown and has been the venue for the swim-in cinema events for the past years for RIFF. Make sure not to forget your bathing suit!

Transportation from the airport is not included in your Talent Lab fee. Three bus services connect Reykjavik and the airport, and are the best transport option. The bus takes approximately 45min. You may book ahead or just hop on at the airport. Reykjavik Excursion - www.re.is and www.flybus.is Discount Code: riff2021
