Jói Fel
HringbrautA bakery and a dessert shop since they are one of the best in both.
Most likely my favourite hamburger place in Reykjavik. Don´t miss their legendary béarnaise sauce.
It´s a very small place and you might end up smelling like a french fry but it´s worth it

Laugavegur
LaugavegurThe main shopping street in Reykjavík
The only active flea market in Iceland. It´s indoors and you can find anything from antique cutlery, to cheap imported Vietnamese clothes to jewelry made from whale bone and birds feet.
It has a different feel from the rest of Iceland and although it´s getting more touristy, it still has the same atmosphere as 20 years ago.

Sailing and fishing is in our blood. We wouldn´t inhabit the cold, snowy rock we call Iceland unless our forefathers were great sailors.
This museum is a nice journey through the sailing and fishing history of Iceland.
