Old Harbour Area Old Harbour Depart for whale and puffin watching tours from the old harbour, a lively area, offering an assortment of restaurants and activity centres Future Concert Hall City Pond Miklatún Park Kjarvalsstaðir National Museum Hljómskáli Park Vesturbæjar Swimming Pool∆ Taxi Taxi Taxi Kringlan Shopping Center Places We Like Prikið Grái KötturinnKaramba Iðnó Prikið is one of those places that shape-shifts. It’s a warm café lined with photographs of its senior frequenters on weekdays, a hung-over hangout on weekend afternoons, and during nights it’s filled to the brim with what remains of Iceland’s hip hop scene. Go there in daytime for the cheap burgers; enter at night for some OTT hip-hop debauchery, old skool and the latest bangers alike. SKK Super relaxed and cozy diner/café below street level. This place makes the best hangover breakfast ever (the truck!) and any-other-day breakfast as well. It’s a nice and relaxing place to eat and increase your caffeine intake and chill with friends or with some reading material. CF Downtown hotspot Karamba is a colourful and eclectic bar on Laugavegur with a comfortable atmosphere, typically great music and a chill crowd. This is a good place to relax or to do some serious drinking or to relax. Plus, their decors are done strictly by Grapevine-friendly artists, such as Lóa (who does our comics), Hugleikur Dagsson and Bobby Breiðholt (who’s done a lot of nice illustrations for us); they are truly a sight to behold. CF If you want to treat yourself to a scintillating feminist monologue then why not swing by Iðnó, where they’re showing Icelandic play Cellophane, a raving comedy show that’s been conveniently translated into English for y’all non-Icelandic speakers. The play centres around a sassy mom trying to do the impossible: Becoming a successful career woman, maintaining the perfect marriage, all whilst looking like she just stepped onto the catwalk.

The décor is colourful and welcoming, the portions are generous and the service is fast and friendly. Recommended. CF Laugavegur 22 3 Habibi This small restaurant offers up a concise menu of delicious Arabic cuisine, from shawarma to kebabs and falafels. The staff is really friendly and accommodating of requests to kick up the spiciness or tone it down if the customer so desires. Habibi seriously hits the spot after hours of partying (or any other time of day) so it’s convenient that the place is allegedly open until 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday (although their advertised opening hours are sometimes not adhered to). CF Hafnarstræti 18 6 Café d’Haiti The first time I entered this exotic little joint, meaning to buy myself a take- away espresso, I ended up with two kilos of fresh and roasted coffee beans due to some language complications and way too much politeness. Since then I have enjoyed way-too-many wonderful cups of Haitian coffee, but they’re always as nice, so the two kilos were definitely worth it. SKK Geirsgata 5 Hemmi og Valdi The “colonial store” Hemmi and Valdi is a cosy hangout that has advanced from being a toasty retreat, where one can score cheap beer and have a quiet chat, into being a chock-full concert venue and an all-night party place. And believe us, the atmosphere is brilliant. SKK Laugavegi 21 4 7 Havarí Even before it opened, Havarí was everybody’s favourite new music and design store. Headed by Svavar Pétur and Berglind of Skakkamanage, the shop shills the musical goods of Kimi Records, Borgin Hljómplötur, gogoyoko and Skakkapopp as well as posters, art, design products and clothing.
