Photo and description

Laugavegur is one of the nicest and most popular streets in Reykjavik. Its name can be translated as "road to a hot spring", laug in Icelandic "hot spring", vegur - "road". It is located in the city center and is considered the main shopping street. The wide sidewalks make walking along it pleasant. And small shops and fashionable boutiques on both sides seduce with bright windows. I would like to stop by and certainly buy something.

In the "little Christmas shop", this is how its name is translated from Icelandic, selling Christmas gifts all year round, although locals only go there with the beginning of the winter holidays, you can find beautiful jewelry and all kinds of handmade souvenirs.

You can buy volcanic lava jewelry. But the most popular gift from Iceland is still the lopapeisa - a sweater made from the wool of Icelandic sheep.

This street is shrouded in the magic of the old city. The trading process takes place without haste and fuss, the sellers communicate with the buyer, as with an old friend, leisurely and confidentially. And having bought at least something there, you feel lucky.

It's a pity that all the shops on Laugavegur close quite early, closer to 6 pm, and on Sunday most of them are closed. But Moulsai Manning's bookstore is open every day from 9 am to 10 pm. And it successfully competes with numerous cafes and restaurants that hospitably open their doors after the shops close.

And closer to midnight, nightlife begins on Leigavegur. Numerous clubs, discos and bars revive. Crowds of people move in one direction or another from club to club from bar to bar in search of fun and adventure. This street never goes quiet.
