🇮🇸 Reykjavik One-Day Guide (Shopping & Food Included)

Summer in Iceland is perfect for travel! The sun rises around 6-7 AM and sets after 8 PM, giving you long daylight hours and great weather. With fewer tourists in the off-season, the city feels peaceful and relaxed. Reykjavik is very compact—all attractions are within walking distance. If you get tired, try the shared electric scooters—they’re convenient and affordable! 🏛️ Attractions: 1️⃣ Hallgrímskirkja Church: Best visited at sunset when the golden light makes the church glow. There’s a swing nearby—great for photos! 2️⃣ Rainbow Street: Straight down from the church, lined with souvenir shops and restaurants—perfect for shopping. 3️⃣ Tjörnin Lake: Beautiful on sunny days—feed the swans! 4️⃣ Sun Voyager Sculpture: Located by the seaside road, offering great photo opportunities with mountain views. 5️⃣ Phallological Museum (If interested—ticket required). 6️⃣ Sky Lagoon: Highly recommended! Amazing experience and close to the city. (More details in the next post!) 🛍️ Souvenirs: 1️⃣ MJÚK Wool Hats (as seen on TV!): Multiple stores on Rainbow Street. Prices range from 300-600 RMB depending on material. Super soft cashmere options available. Customize pompom colors (more pompoms = higher price). Tax-free for purchases over 12,000 ISK. 2️⃣ Wool Fridge Magnets & Passport Covers: Iceland Memories Shop (opens at 11:00). 3️⃣ Icelandic Lip Balm & Blue Lagoon Skincare: Cheapest at the airport—buy them before you leave! 4️⃣ Lava Stone Bracelets: Available at almost every souvenir shop—pick your favorite design. 🍽️ Food: 1️⃣ Brauð & Co Bakery: Loved by locals—their cinnamon rolls (770 ISK) are incredibly delicious, even for non-cinnamon fans! 2️⃣ Íslenski Barinn: Recommended by Icelandic friends for local dishes. Try the lobster hotdog, lamb soup, roasted lamb leg, or even whale/puffin meat. 3️⃣ Bónus Supermarket: Great for self-catering or snacks! Their onion rings, soy milk, and Asian-style instant noodles are tasty. Don’t miss the yogurt—it’s creamy like cheese! #Iceland #Reykjavik #IcelandTravel #BonusSupermarket
