elsewhere in Iceland and all of them
have a slightly different, edgy take
on the island, instead of adding to
the abundance of touristy subjects.
23. Stefánsbú"/p3
Laugavegur 7
S te f á n s b ú! s h o w c a s e s l o c a l
designers and second-hand high-
fashion finds (hello 1990’s Gucci!)
as well as accessories from quirky
international brands. Fun and zany,
you don’t know what you’re going
to find but you know it’ll be exciting.
24. Lucky Records
Rau!arárstígur 10
Lucky Records is probably the
biggest record shop in Iceland, with
18. Dillon
Laugavegur 30
A mix between grunge and classy,
D i l lon W hiskey B ar dominates
their little stretch of Laugavegur.
Crammed most nights with rockers,
metalheads, and tourists looking
for a place to mumble AC/DC songs
into their beer, Dillon boasts a wide
selection of over 100 whiskies and
hosts some of Iceland’s best hard
rock bands on the weekends.
19. Petersen svítan
Austurstræti 12
The sun is finally out, which means
it’s time for your annual pilgrimage
to Petersen svítan. Never been? Well,
make sure to bring your sunglasses
because this place has one of the
best views in Reykjavík and also very
fashionable clientele. Look over
the city and have a beer in almost
entirely direct sunlight (!!!!!!!!!!).
Shopping
20. Íslenzka Hú"flúrstofan
Ingólfsstræti 3
This classic shop caters to all styles,
with a roster of artists that serve
up everything from realism to new-
school and more. We’d particularly
recommend the hand-poked pieces
by Habba (@habbanerotattoo). Not
only are they gorgeously ornate in
that straight-out-of-800-AD-way,
but they might save you from spirits.
21. Nielsen Sérverzlun
Bankastræti 4
Way more than your average design
store, Nielsen is filled to the brim
with knick-knacks from all over, from
gorgeous diaries to cosy towels and
all the candles you could desire.
Stop by, grab something for a gift
and don't forget a little something
for yourself.
22. Fótógrafi
Skólavör!ustígur 22
Fótógrafí claims to have been one
of the first photo galleries in town.
While its interior is tiny, there’s a
surprising number of photos to be
found inside. The pictures on display
are mainly shot in Reykjavík or
Smass
Ægissí!a 123
We know what you’re thinking: great, an-
other hamburger joint. But hear us out.
A few Icelandic lads ran a burger place
in Denmark for a while but moved home
only to find out that there was no smash-
style burger place in Reykjavík. These
guys opened up Smass in Reykjanesbær
and Reykjavík, and, in short, it’s been a
smash hit! This is the place you go to get
some real American cheeseburger with a
Nordic twist. And man, that Nordic twist is
actually...wait for it...smashing! VG
New In Town
shelves upon shelves of new and
used vinyl and CDs on offer. If that's
not enough, they're notorious for
their expert staff whose knowledge
goes far beyond the latest Björk or
Sigur Rós offerings. In fact, it's best
if you just let them take the lead.
25. Húrra Reykjavík
Hverfisgata 18A
T h i s m i n i m a l i s t s tr e e t w e a r/
athleisure store serves up a mixed
selection of classic items and trendy
cuts. They were massively hyped
when they opened a few years ago
and have stayed hyped because
they know what they are doing and
are damn good at it.
