Sparnaðarleiðir
Remember to check restaurant and cafe bills.
If a bill shows 'Service Charge included' don't tip. The service charge already covers that. It's usually 12.5%
Ferðast með börnum
Public transport is free for under-11s.
So don't stress....
Ferðast með börnum
Buses have space for buggies.
Do use the buses: you can see everything from the upper decks which make for a great viewing platform once you've tackled the stairs.
Samgöngur
The tube is the fastest most reliable way of getting around
BUT - try at all costs to avoid rush hours... Remember too that many of the stations have lifts or stair-free access. Staff are on hand to help.
