Excellent local variety of restaurants, shops, bars and hotels. Stretches across much of REK central. Great way to get a feel of the city

After 10am, no cars are allowed on the street in much of the area, which made walking and shopping pleasant...and there are many restaurants along the street.

This street should be listed as one of the better streets to walk, shop, browse, and eat in the world. Ideal place to just spend some time. Lots of souvenir shops yet done very well.

Great place to shop and find interesting places to eat. We window shopped one day; walking up and down the street. Prices really vary so you need to keep track of the prices to get the best deals. Lots of shops with Icelandic souvenirs. Best place to buy Icelandic candy and chocolates are the grocery stores, though.

A fun jaunt in an older section of Reykjavik. It is full of tourist oriented shops, but good for a quick bite and a nice walk, plus shopping and window shopping with a ice cream or lookoomas.

Bustling with people this street is a great spot to spend an afternoon shopping and dining. We found a couple gorgeous shops we spent quite a bit of time in - for the ceramics lover, there are a few very lovely ceramic shops. Make sure to walk on rainbow street and up to .the Hallgrimskirkja.

Ist es möglich auf dem Laugavegur & Fimmvorduhals Trail die Camping Card zu benutzen?
Ich gehe mal nicht davon aus. Dennoch wäre es interessant zu wissen, ob Sie ggf. teilweise nutzbar ist.
