Shopping and Leisure in Reykjavik
Reykjavik’s shopping landscape centers on the historic Laugavegur and Skólavörðustígur streets, where local design boutiques and galleries occupy colorful timber houses. For larger retail hubs, Kringlan provides over 170 shops and restaurants. Unique to the city is Kolaportið, a weekend flea market near the harbor specializing in vintage items and traditional Icelandic foods. Because alcohol is sold exclusively through the state-run Vínbúðin monopoly, several branches are distributed throughout the city’s commercial districts to serve residents and visitors.
