  If you are in downtown Reykjavik, start at the Harpa Concert Hall located at Austurbakki 2. From Harpa, walk towards the waterfront following the path along the coast. You will see the beautiful views of the harbor and Mount Esja. Continue walking along the waterfront until you reach the statue of the Sun Voyager (Sólfar) next to the water. From there, head west along the same path on the waterfront until you reach Grandagarður street. Turn left onto Grandagarður street and walk straight for about 5 minutes. The Saga Museum will be on your right at Grandagarður 2.

• Public Transport - Bus

  If you prefer to take the bus, you can catch bus number 1 from any of the main bus stops in downtown Reykjavik such as Hlemmur or Lækjartorg. Make sure to check the schedule for bus frequency. Get off at the stop 'Grandi' which is close to the Saga Museum. Once you get off the bus, walk along the waterfront path towards the west until you reach Grandagarður street, then turn left. The Saga Museum will be on your right at Grandagarður 2.

  If you are renting a bicycle, start from the city center and head towards the waterfront. Follow the bicycle paths along the harbor, enjoying the sea breeze. Continue riding west along the coast and follow the signs towards the Grandi area. Once you reach Grandagarður street, turn left and ride for a few minutes until you see the Saga Museum on your right at Grandagarður 2.
