Bar at Hlemmur Square
A wide variety of Reykjavites were spotted
at the opening of the chic, modernist Bar at
Hlemmur Square. It is a revamped, minimalist
space created by designer Rui Diogo, who
turned the open design of the Hlemmur
Square Hotel and Hostel’s lobby into a
contemporary meeting space for local craft
beers, wine and cocktails. Bar is open daily
from 15:00 to 23:00 with happy hour from
17:00 to 19:00 so you can get pickled before
your pöbbarölt.

Unlike other design shops in town, this
one goes beyond the local borders to bring
some of the most innovative and stylish
creations from designers around the world.
They are also the official sales point of Lo-
mography in Iceland, so get yourself a Diana
camera and start snapping.

If you’re looking for the newest and

and taste.

One of the oldest established businesses in
the country, these goldsmiths have endured
nearly 150 years and have seen three
generations of the same family pass down
their coveted tradition. Their works are truly
unique pieces of Icelandic tradition.
