Kolaportið Flea Market

Dive into the huge industrial building near the harbor to find Kolaportið Flea Market (kolaportid.is), a Reykjavík institution on weekends from 11am to 5pm. Wend through a vast tumble of secondhand clothes, old toys, antiques and cheap imports. A food section sells traditional eats like rúgbrauð (geothermally baked rye bread) and brauðterta ("sandwich cake;" a layering of bread with mayonnaise-based fillings). If you’re looking for a wool sweater that won’t break your budget, this is the place to try. Bring cash in case that must-have-item’s seller doesn’t take cards or digital payments.
