stores 12 Tónar (on
Skólavördustígur - classi-
cal upstairs, electronic
down) and Hljómalind
(on Laugavegur) are a
good choice for those
armed with a personal
stereo.
If the weather’s letting
you down, or you prefer
to do your bargain hunt-
ing under one roof how-
ever, the Kringlan shop-
ping centre has a com-
prehensive selection of
stores, and a nice coffee
shop on the ground floor
(Kaffitár - you can’t
miss it).
You’ll probably find that
the exchange rate makes
now a good time to shop
in Iceland. Many luxury
items are competitively
priced in comparison to
London and New York,
and the VAT Refund sys-
tem is easy to use,
knocking a further 15 per
cent off your purchases.
Simply present your
completed refund form
(the sales assistants will
help you out here) at the
VAT Refund Desk at
Keflavík International
Airport.
