Laugavegur is Reykjavik\u2019s main shopping street and here you will find many shops, cafes, bars, and hotels. Along the streets of Sk\u00f3lav\u00f6r\u00f0ust\u00edgur you will\u00a0also find a number of boutique shops. If you wander closer to the ocean, you will find a picturesque Oceanside path providing impressive views of Mount Esja. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1-774x516.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"774\" height=\"516\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17595 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1-774x516.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/reykjavik-we-are-travel-girls-2-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span><span><\/span><span><\/span>2.

EXPERIENCE THE NIGHTLIFE <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Okay, I will admit that David and I never stayed awake long enough to experience the true nightlife of Reykjavik. BUT I HEAR that it is pretty epic with bars staying open until 5am on the weekends. We got a small snapshot of what the nightlife might be like as we wandered back to our hotel around 10pm on a Sunday night. Since we visited in June, the sun was shining, bright as day, and the streets were still flooded with people. Families biking, friends gabbing over pizza and beer, groups of men singing in robust voices on the sidewalks&#8230;you get the picture! Just a word of caution: drinking, like everything else in Iceland, is expensive. Be prepared to pay $8-$10 USD for a beer and close to $20 USD for a mixed drink. Most bars do offer happy hours for those on a budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik-774x514.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"774\" height=\"514\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17598 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik-774x514.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/nightlife-reyjavik.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span><span><\/span><span><\/span>4.

We stumbled upon Eldsmi\u00f0jan Pizzeria, which was just a couple of minutes walk from our hotel, and boy, am I glad we did! We ordered cheesy garlic bread, salad, and margherita pizza and easily devoured it all. For those with a more adventurous palate, Eldsmij\u00f0an offers pizzas with an array of unique toppings including cream cheese, shrimp, tuna, pineapple, and even maple syrup!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik-774x580.jpg\" alt=\"10 Things You Can't Miss in Reykjavik, Iceland\" width=\"774\" height=\"580\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17422 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik-774x580.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik-1080x809.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/street-art-reykjavik.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span>7.

Visit the <span><\/span><span><\/span>Harpa Concert Hall ; whether you simply stroll past it or attend an event here, the structure is impressive and unique. Also, while we did not visit any during our time here, Reykjavik is also home to several different art museums.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik-774x516.jpg\" alt=\"10 Things You Can't Miss in Reykjavik, Iceland\" width=\"774\" height=\"516\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17421 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik-774x516.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/harpa-reykjavik.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span>8.
