Iceland Shopping Mall | Kringlan in Reykjavik
Рет қаралды 59,967
Күн бұрынYes there is a shopping mall in Iceland! Located in Reykjavik just minutes from the city center and has lots of stores, cafes, pharmacy, liquor store, and a food court. In this video I walk through the mall showing you what stores are available, where to eat, and more. Plus my favorite pro-tip for a rainy day with kids - an indoor play area!

It’s nice to see a well-maintained, thriving mall. Here in the US, many malls are dying or dead, or shutdown and have been abandoned or demolished.

Jeannie’s content has been on point! Getting a perspective from someone that actually lives in Iceland and is from the States gives travelers a great take on what you will need to be ready to travel there. Her tips were immensely helpful for getting around Iceland and making our trip stress free. We had a terrific experience on our time in Iceland!!

Great mall, thanks for highlighting it. It was a lifesaver when I arrived in Reykjavik but my luggage didn't.... I went for the Hagkaup, but it was closed for renovation at the time. I still found everything I needed at fairly reasonable prices and was able to kick off my trip properly while I waited for my luggage to show up. Hagkaup, btw, became our favourite store during our travels. Great ready meals and our favourite chicken and sweet potato wraps. The one in Grandar was open 24 hours per day back then and was a quick stop before every day trip.

Great video again! Kringlan is such a cozy mall! I went there a lot when I was living in Kópavogur, even though Smáralind was just less than 2 minutes walk from our place. Smáralind is nice as well, but it's just a giant empty corridor. Kringlan has more cozy corners. I was in the cafe downstairs one day when a magnitude 5+ earthquake happened. The whole building was shaking, but nothing really bad happened luckily. I usually took an electric scooter or public transport to get to Kringlan. It's easy to get there from most parts of Reykjavik, even if you don't own a car.

It opened back in 1987 and Smáralind in 2001. Before '87 there were no malls but there was Glæsibær near Skeifan and of course Laugavegur. Then Fjörður the small mall in Hafnarfjörður is nice. As Reykjavík grew from a town to a small city this is the result, Kringlan, agree, it has a certain charm

What's interesting is that if you convert the kronor to USD and then calculate the exchange rate for US and Canadian dollars, the prices in Icelandic kronor are pretty close to what they would be in Canadian dollars. Although a slice of pizza in a Canadian mall, in actual Canadian dollars without converting to another currency, would cost a fraction of what it would be in kronor.

As a Canadian who recently visited Iceland, it was very easy. I just omitted the last two digits to calculate the approximate price in Canadian dollars. I also found I didn’t need cash at all.

As a Norwegian who's bf is Icelandic, I've been to this mall numerous times as it is the closest as to were his parents used to live, I was quite disapointed with the malls they have. To my suprise I expected more. More as in terms of variation and brands, as Iceland has a lot of things we don't have here in Norway. I rarely shop anything while in Iceland tb.

I think you comment about how pricy it is a bit wrong. All of the Nordic countries are pricey but the earnings are also big. Dominos is actually cheaper in Iceland than in Norway. Living in a country with taxes is like this. But many cities such as London, Paris, Moscow etc are way more expensive too. In Indonesia beer and alcohol drinks costs more than in the Nordic countries. Just be careful ;) other than that.. nice video!

This was so weirdly worded but of course you can get over the counter meds, just not all of the same ones as in other countries and you need to go to the pharmacy, not anywhere else. You can get Ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) and other meds like anti histamines. Just not anything with codeine like some other countries allow.

I used to go at least 2-3 times each week to the Kringlan... but after they changed the hot food situation, closed "Stjörnutorg" and moved everything / opened "Kúmen" instead I no longer go there at all. Nope I have not gone to Kringlan since last summer... (2022) If I want to eat from "Rikki Chan" I now go to "Smáratorg" in "Kópavogur" Anything else I rather go to "Smáralind" even though I live in Reykjavík
