4 Best Places to Shop in Reykjavík, Iceland

The Handknitting Association of Iceland has its own outlet, selling (of course) only hand-knit items of various kinds. The back room is a wonderland of woolen knits and other handmade apparel.

This gallery-slash-store is run by seven local women artists. The items you'll find here are delightfully different from the souvenirs of more pedestrian stores.

The Cherry Tree is a collective of 10 women selling their own creations. From music boxes and fishskin purses to pottery and housewares, you never know what you're going to find in this shop.

Many hand- and machine-knitted woolen garments are sold at Rammagerðin. They have another shop on Skólavörðustígur 20 and smaller version in the Keflavík Airport as well.
