The market is a great place to go if you are looking for something to read, a souvenir or a gift for someone. Kolaportið is a great place to get beautiful hand-knitted goods made with Icelandic wool or handmade jewellery made from Icelandic stones. It is an excellent opportunity to strike up a conversation and learn about Icelandic patterns and knitting. We can’t praise the Icelandic wool masters enough for knitting those beautiful sweaters, gloves, scarves, and hats that keep us all warm during winter. You can also find one of a kind vintage clothing, books in English and beautiful locally made jewellery.

This waterfall is distinct in that it is much broader than tall. Its height is only about 36 feet (11 meters), but its width is about 330 feet (100 meters), making this waterfall more like a series of waterfalls among the cliffs. On the other side are cliffs that serve as a natural viewing platform of the waterfall. Visitors should be careful as the rocks can be slippery, especially in the winter. Just slightly downstream from this impressive waterfall is another even more impressive waterfall, Dettifoss, the second most powerful waterfall in Europe.

It wouldn’t be a legitimate trip to Iceland without at least trying to see the Northern Lights. Load up on a nine (yes, really) course dinner at Kopar in Reykjavik’s Old Harbour. Best are the fish-based dishes like cod tongue, scallops with ceviche and monkfish with pesto and bacon. You’ll then head out on a boat to try and spot the elusive Aurora Borealis with a skipper - and will hopefully return after two and half hours victorious. This place is only open from Saturday to Monday, but it is worth planning a trip around it.
