Voyages-sncf.com : Voyage en train, en avion, réservation d'hôtels et séjours Reykjavik: Nightlife Reykjavik Nightlife is unlike any other. With over 50 bars lining the main street (Laugavegur) and the small streets leading from it, it can be a daunting task to know where to start. The bars in Reykjavik change with the seasons to provide Icelanders with a new favourite place each year, this is why many online accounts or reviews are outdated and many of the places described do not exist anymore. This does however mean that there is always plenty to look at whilst strolling the streets. Everything from small quaint coffee shops to large fancy bistros welcome you from every angle. Most Icelanders begin drinking at home and then arrive into the city center shortly after midnight. Some examples Restaurant by day / Popular dance bar by night

Drinking in Iceland | Iceland Travel Guide | Iceland Travel Guide by Katie Hammel | May 4th, 2010 Drinking in Iceland is expensive. There’s just no getting around that. But there are a few ways to reduce the cost while still enjoying the city’s legendary nightlife. Here’s how to save money drinking in Iceland. Make the Duty-Free your first stop Located inside Keflavik Airport, the Icelandic Duty Free shop sells liquor at prices that are up to one-third less than those you’ll find in the state-run liquor shops in Reykjavik. Hit the Vinbudin Vinbudin is the name of the state-run liquor store (the only place to buy booze aside from the Duty-Free, bars, and restaurants). Prep for the runtur The runtur is the name of the all-night bar crawl that happens on weekends in Reykjavik. Drink local Because Iceland is an isolated island, everything not produced locally must be imported by air or sea, driving up the price. The legal drinking age in Iceland is 20 years old.

The Best View in Reykjavik: Hallgrímskirkja Church | Iceland Travel Guide | Iceland Travel Guide by Katie Hammel | March 18th, 2010 In Reykjavik’s city center, most tourists use the white tips of the Hallgrímskirkja Church to help find their way around – you’re never lost in the city if you can find the “big white church” (a nickname much easier to pronounce). The church is a Lutheran church and is the sixth tallest building in Iceland. It was designed in 1938 to resemble the basalt lava flows of the country and inside you’ll find a massive pipe organ with over 5000 pipes. Though the interior and exterior of the church are both quite interesting, the main reason most tourists visit is to ride the elevator to the top, for one of the best views in Iceland. From the top of the tower you can see pretty much the entire city of Reykjavik, the brightly-colored aluminum-sided houses the below, the bay and snow-topped mountains in the distance. Admission to the church is free, but the ride to the top for the view will cost 400 ISK per adult (and well worth it). Photo by meg nicol
About the Hotel Kolaportið Weekend Market | Iceland Travel Guide | Iceland Travel Guide by Katie Hammel | March 18th, 2010 If there’s one souvenir that embodies Iceland, it’s the lopapeysa – a traditional Icelandic sweater with a distinctive pattern. These sweaters are made by hand with sheep’s wool and incredibly warm. For a cheaper (but still high-quality) version, head to the Kolaportið flea market. Though there are many other things you may find worth buying at the market – knick knacks, used books, DVDs, vintage clothes and shoes, Icelandic delicacies – the best deals are to be had on the lopapeysas. Browse the stalls and try on as many as it takes until you find your perfect pattern and fit. The Kolaportið is only open on weekends. Photo by Luc Van Braekel
11 Souvenirs to Buy in Iceland | Iceland Travel Guide | Iceland Travel Guide by Katie Hammel | November 18th, 2010 In Reykjavik, there’s no shortage of souvenir shops where you can find everything from postcards and key chains to elf figurines. Anything you can imagine emblazoned with the Icelandic flag – they probably sell it. But if tchotchke souvenirs just don’t do it for you, here are some ideas for Icelandic souvenirs you’ll actually appreciate once you get home. Lava rock jewelry Forget the cans of ash from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, for souvenir that really celebrates the volcanic nature of Iceland, pick up some jewelry made of lava rocks. Icelandic woolen goods The traditional Icelandic sweater is the most popular wool souvenir for tourists, but they are expensive, and let’s face it, the odds that you’ll actually wear it back home might not be great. If you prefer items that aren’t so obviously souvenirs, you’ll have lots of options in Reykjavik, which offers dozens of (pricey) designer boutiques to choose from. 66° North gear North Face?
