2 Best Shopping in Reykjavík, Iceland

Part bookstore, part café, the independent Mál og Menning sells books focusing on all things Iceland. From local authors and photographers to comic book artists with a dark sense of humor, there's something for everyone here. Plus, the café serves up a mean soup-and-bread deal for less than ISK 1,400.

If you're on the hunt for a book, chances are Penninn Eymundsson Austurstræti has what you need. As Iceland's oldest bookstore (established in 1872) it has a tried-and-true reputation for well-stocked shelves.
