Some people call shopping Iceland’s national hobby; with all kinds of goods being sold across the country, why wouldn’t it be something most people enjoy? More than that, it is a very popular thing for visitors to do. If you’re spending a week in Iceland and are looking for something to fill your itinerary with, a shopping spree in the variety of Icelandic stores could be exactly what you’re looking for.

In addition to Iceland’s woolen goods of great quality, woodwork, Viking jewelry, interesting books and maps on the country, paintings, sculptures, and unique foods, there are still many more things that you can purchase in Icelandic stores. One of these great buys is fashion wear. Iceland has prices that match its fellow Nordic countries and yet is still very competitive in the fashion business and with designer labels. In fact, Iceland even hosts a huge fashion week every year with designers and models featured from many places.

In addition to all of this, most of the shopping in Iceland is duty-free (no taxes), which means that you can spend even less money for more. Whether you’re looking for Beachwood smoked salmon or designer jewelry, Iceland as a shopping center is an excellent place to visit.
