Akureyri Shopping

Shopping in Akureyri

  1. A

    Viking

    This hard-to-miss shop lures the masses with its giant Viking statue plunked out front. There’s a good selection of Icelandic knitted jumpers and souvenir knick-knacks here. You can also rent bicycles for the day.

    Eymundsson

    Excellent bookshop with souvenir books and DVDs in many languages. A great place to relax with a coffee and cookie, and thumb through gorgeous coffee-table hardbacks.

    Dogma

    If you didn’t pick up your ‘I’m Huge In Iceland’ T-shirt in the capital, then swing by the Akureyri branch of Reykjavik’s quirky clothing mainstay.
