shoulders above the rest when it
comes to size and the quality and
variety of produce on offer, as well
as their lengthy opening hours.
21. Rammagerðin
Skólavörðustígur 12 & other
locations
This long-established crafts and
design store has been running since
1940, since way before Icelandic
design was cool. It’s a fascinating
store, loaded with interesting
objects and trinkets. While it might
look like a tourist shop, it’s been
there for seventy or eighty years. So
even if it is a tourist shop, it must be
a good one.
22. Red Cross
Laugavegur 12b & more
There are a handful of Red Cross
locations in Reykjavík, the most
popular of which is a small store on
Laugavegur. Here you’ll be able to
find some pretty cool and unique
stuff for cheap prices.
23. Geysir
Skólavörðustígur 7 & 16
The presence of the aesthetically
im m a c ul a te G ey s ir s e e m s to
continually grow in Reykjavík ,
especially since they launched their
own clothing line and accompanying
catalogue. There are two locations
to drop by on Skólavörðustigur, each
with a differently styled interior. It
might be a little pricey, but you’ll get
something high-quality for sure.
24. Húrra Reykjavík
Hverfisgata 50 & 78
Many credit this store with Reykjavík’s
sudden obsession with sneakers,
with people camping outside the
store to get their hands on a new pair.
Needless to say, this store is shaping
fashion in downtown Reykjavík.
25. Eymundsson
Skólavörðustígur 11, Austurstræti 18
This Icelandic book store chain
has several branches with a great
selection of Icelandic writing and all
the latest international titles, often
in both Icelandic and English. The
cafes at the Skólavörðustígur and
Austurstræti locations also make
for great people-watching spots,
and they have a strong selection
of international newspapers and
magazines.
26. Handprjónasambandið
Skólavörðustígur 19
T he Icelandic wool sweater 's
popularity with visitors means
that they ’re sometimes mass-
produced. But one place you
know you’ll get the real deal is
Handprjónasambandið, Iceland’s very
own hand-knitting association. They
have plenty of different styles and
colours available, so choose wisely!

recommend the lamb kofte wrap: it’s
to die for.
Drinking
11. Veður
Klapparstígur 33
This beautifully designed new bar
looks really fancy, but it has a laid-
back atmosphere, serves a great
selection of cocktails and beer, and
plays excellent music. The weekend
nighttime crowd is a bit American
Psycho, but that’s not without its
charm.
12. Húrra
Tryggvagata 22
Húrra has been awarded Grapevine’s
coveted “Best All-Around Bar.” It’s a
great place to go anytime for almost
any reason—whether it’s weeknight
drinks, dancing with your friends
or catching a gig in their excellent
music and events programme. They
even have karaoke downstairs!
13. Skúli Craft Bar
Aðalstræti 9
A cool environment in a great
location, Skúli has a strong presence
in this category with its vast selection
of brews, although the prices can
be steep for the serving size. It has
Cards Against Humanity, and there’s
one bartender who sometimes plays
death metal.
14. Pablo Discobar
Veltusund 1
This fancy-ass cocktail place is one of
the more upscale clubs in Reykjavík.
It has 70s tiki lounge/Boogie Nights
décor, and the throwback disco
music is on point.
15. Slippbarinn
Mýrargata 2
This standard go-to bar for cocktails
holds its own as far as the mixing
game goes, with a unique menu and
highly skilled bartenders to shake
them up. The bar itself is a beautifully
designed space with a gorgeous
view, right in the Old Harbour. It
closes on the early side, but it’s great
to start out there.
16. Mikkeller & Friends
Hverfisgata 12
T his p lace has a unique and
constantly rotating selection of
beers from Mikkeller and other
carefully picked craft breweries,
knowledgeable bartenders, and it’s
located upstairs from Hverfisgata 12,
so you get good weekend DJs, fancy
bar snacks and pizzas.
17. Stofan
Vesturgata 3
When the name of the place literally
translates to “the living room,” it’s
pretty much expected to be a very
cosy place to kick back with some
late-afternoon, early-evening drinks.
All their beers and wines on happy
hour from 4pm until 8pm, and it’s
a lovely central location with a dim
basement and an airy first floor.
18. Bravó
Laugavegur 22
Bravó is Húrra’s sister bar. They have
Icelandic beers on tap and DJs at the
weekend, but one of the best things
about Bravó is its lengthy happy
hours—all the way from 11am to 8pm,
in fact.
Shopping
19. Hrím
Laugavegur 25
Hrím is a design store that ’s
also the go-to for fancy cutlery,
crockery, and kitchen items. They
offer a selection of international
products, with a strong Icelandic
presence scattered throughout.
Have a browse—even if you don’t
even cook much, you’ll feel like you
need everything, because it’s all so
beautiful.
