    A good sized mall with all the shops that you need including a cinema. A good place to visit as a tourist if the weather is poor and soak up a couple of hours. Nice food court with a good variety.

    If you like climbing and bouldering, try Klifurhusid in Reykjavík. Not so far from downtown, reasonable prices and nice atmosphere.

    Visited this wonderful knitting store yesterday. Walked there from downtown and then to Botanical Garden to have lunch in the greenhouse cafe.

    Store is large for a yarn store. Very clean. Grateful that I spent the time to go there.

    Very pleased by the vast selection of Icelandic yarns as well as a large selection of international yarns. There are some pretty good sale items throughout store. I ended up buying a Japanese cotton/silk yarn at 40% off. The nice, young sales lady helped me with a VAT form for the airport.

    Thinking about going back next week and getting a local lighter weight Icelandic yarn and browsing patterns.

    My friend and I were in Iceland on business and wanted to grab a few frames. Here was close to the office so we chose here. There were 4 snooker tables in a separate room which were maintained in fantastic condition. The table was heated, rolled true and a nice pace. The pockets weren’t like some club tables that go in from everywhere so you had to focus. I’ll be visiting here for some practice every time I’m in Iceland. I wish I lived closer!

    A snorkelling experience like no other! Water so pure and clear, having been filtered through lava rock for years, breathtaking rocky underwater landscape…AND you are snorkelling a UNESCO World Heritage Site, AND it’s cold, AND you are in beautiful rugged Iceland! Niko was our incredible tour guide, he is knowledgeable and engaging, and his passion is contagious. He made the whole experience so memorable!
    Absolutely highly recommended!!!

    A cool experience and I’m so glad we did it! I was apprehensive based on the reviews, but Magnus is a kind (if quirky) guy. He talked about all sorts of things including Icelandic history and many stories of interactions with hidden people. It gave us a lot to talk and joke about for the rest of the day. Also, the pancakes and bread were fantastic. I will say that we left early when the other group in our session did (about 3.5 hours in) and that was the way to go—we would have liked to stay for questions, but “one more story” might have taken quite a long time.

    As a local I frequently visit to buy cute and original presents, such as very affordable but stylish jewellery. Love visiting every time!

    The hot tubs are a wonderful way to relax those muscles after long days of activities! We really enjoyed our visit to the spa and the shoulder massages that were given by the masseuse whilst in the hot tub.

    as an avid follower of trip advisor reviews when travelling or looking for nice hotels and restaurants i was amazed to see all the positive reviews for arctic mike and knew i had to go with him to the south coast.my wife and i were not disappointed. mike picked us up at our hotel in a new mercedes 4 wheel drive van that was super clean and comfortable. we travelled to the south coast and visited some amazing waterfalls,stopped for a great lunch and visited puffins along the black sands beach, walked to the myrdalsjokull glacier and constantly enjoyed the scenery all around us.mike is a wealth of information on iceland and its history and is easy and fun to converse with. if you want to take a tour in iceland then look no further as arctic mike is truly the best and will make your visit the very best it can be.!!thanks mike!!

    Spaksmannsspjarir offer a high quality clothing and best customer service there is. I have bought several items from them and many years later they are still in use. I love their mindset for fashion and their creativity and they are fun to visit. If you are looking for high quality Icelandic fashion design, look no further.

    We started our research on visiting Iceland almost a year before we went. Hey Iceland was one of the companies contacted who responded immediately. We were very satisfied with the car rental arrangement and the hotels chosen. Their iPad routing was very effective and easy to use. We are talking about going back and would use Hey Iceland again.
    Having said that- 1. It's hard to get specific information until you pay them a deposit. I do understand they are selling a product and don't want to give it away for free. As summer and the trip drew nearer and they got busier it was very difficult to get any response from them. I finally called and that was effective. 2. While we appreciated the iPad, while sitting in the airport in the rental car, we could not get it to work. We went back to the rental car company where fortunately one of the staff knew how to register it. We could find no directions anywhere that said "first, you must register the iPad." We never did figure out how to use the hot spot.

    This is a great little store. Found an Icelandic book translated into English here that I'm not sure I could've found anywhere else.
