Langavegur Street - Reykjavík

Langavegur Street

Reykjavik's Main Shopping Street: Main Shopping Street

For most of your Icelandic shopping needs, head to the "Main Shopping Street", Langavegur.

Here you will find clothing shops - both international and local designers, book shops, a supermarket, a number of souvenir type shops and local crafts, plus plenty of cafes and restaurants.

There is a tax-free shopping scheme, which allows you to claim back tax paid on purchases over 4,000 kroner - you just need to ask for a special docket at each store, and then you can claim back the tax on departure at the airport. If you happen to spend more than 40,000 kroner, you will have to actually show the items at the airport to get the refund.

What to pay: Iceland is EXPENSIVE! Bring your husbands credit card ; ))
