Iceland Shopping Mall | Kringlan in Reykjavik
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Yes there is a shopping mall in Iceland! Located in Reykjavik just minutes from the city center and has lots of stores, cafes, pharmacy, liquor store, and a food court. In this video I walk through the mall showing you what stores are available, where to eat, and more. Plus my favorite pro-tip for a rainy day with kids - an indoor play area!

It’s nice to see a well-maintained, thriving mall. Here in the US, many malls are dying or dead, or shutdown and have been abandoned or demolished.
Visit the Philippines haha
You're not lying. Where I live a mall I've been to my entire life is basically a ghost town these days. Many stores shut down, only a matter of time before the mall closes for good. It's insane, when I was a kid it was PACKED, especially on weekends. It's a direct result of our lousy economy and cost of living, the mall was always expensive and now people are struggling financially and have simply stopped going.
The "slice of life" videos are indeed highly enjoyable! Thanks for making this 😁
Wow! What an awesome mall. That was fun going shopping with you.
Your son is so adorable. He's always so happy.
I compliment you. So many go through an enlivening educational experience and take nothing from it. Clearly your mind is a sponge and your occupation is tour guide.
Thank you!
Jeannie’s content has been on point! Getting a perspective from someone that actually lives in Iceland and is from the States gives travelers a great take on what you will need to be ready to travel there. Her tips were immensely helpful for getting around Iceland and making our trip stress free. We had a terrific experience on our time in Iceland!!
There is also a really nice library where the also offer free coffee, can't believe you completely left it out!
Aside from that, really nice video.
Your little boy is a star❤ he's so cheerful and happy 😊xx
Yes, he is! Thank you!
Absolutely LOVIN' IT!! Just found your channel. Your work on this channel allows me to "travel" without traveling ... all the way from Jerome, Idaho USA
Awesome! Thank you! So glad you are enjoying the content.
Great mall, thanks for highlighting it. It was a lifesaver when I arrived in Reykjavik but my luggage didn't.... I went for the Hagkaup, but it was closed for renovation at the time. I still found everything I needed at fairly reasonable prices and was able to kick off my trip properly while I waited for my luggage to show up. Hagkaup, btw, became our favourite store during our travels. Great ready meals and our favourite chicken and sweet potato wraps. The one in Grandar was open 24 hours per day back then and was a quick stop before every day trip.
That burger place next to domino’s have the best burgers I’ve ever had, get them everytime I go
If I went to Iceland and ended up there I'd lose my mind. Thanks for sharing though. Its interesting, seems mall culture is still a thing in Iceland.
I was just in this mall last week. The apartment we stayed at was a 5 minute walk away. It was a great place to pick up some stuff we forgot and a great first place for an "easy" dinner on our first night in Iceland. Thanks for sharing and I really like these everyday life things.
Great video! Any chance of seeing the inside of the Target-ish store?
Great video with a complete view of this shopping place. Always a personal touch when people include family members. Way to go, Jeannie
nice mall and not crowded👍🏼
This brings back aloft of memories in USA,CALIFORNIA that are slowly disappearing as malls are closing all over America because you can buy the sam thing on line for 40% to 60% less then mall's still is so-so sad UT great memories of yesterday's past they were just like ICELAND is now😢 lucky ur country still has them😂
That looks like a wonderful safe place to shop.
I remember really enjoying Kringlan the last time I was in Reykjavik. Looks like there have been quite a few updates since then!
Great video again! Kringlan is such a cozy mall! I went there a lot when I was living in Kópavogur, even though Smáralind was just less than 2 minutes walk from our place. Smáralind is nice as well, but it's just a giant empty corridor. Kringlan has more cozy corners. I was in the cafe downstairs one day when a magnitude 5+ earthquake happened. The whole building was shaking, but nothing really bad happened luckily. I usually took an electric scooter or public transport to get to Kringlan. It's easy to get there from most parts of Reykjavik, even if you don't own a car.
Thanks for the everyday videos. We will have to check out the mall when we get there... Some day.
Back in the ‘90s, Hard Rock Cafe was in the mall. The mall was always the place to go to get away from the base for awhile :)
Looks extremely clean!
It opened back in 1987 and Smáralind in 2001. Before '87 there were no malls but there was Glæsibær near Skeifan and of course Laugavegur. Then Fjörður the small mall in Hafnarfjörður is nice. As Reykjavík grew from a town to a small city this is the result, Kringlan, agree, it has a certain charm
Interesting video. I had no idea Reykjavik was so modernized. I have to watch some of ur other videos to see more of Reykjavik.
My husband and I started our Iceland adventure today. Similar to North Dakota weather in late fall, early spring :)
Didn't get a chance to visit the mall the last time I was in Reykjavik but I am coming back in September! Yay!! Thanks for the sneek peek...😊
Thank you for the tip on the pharmacy.
Get well stocked up before we arrive😊😊
Stopped in on our visit a week or so ago. It was somewhat quiet, but, very clean. Not exactly Roosevelt Field near us but definitely worth checking out on a rainy quiet day between mountain hikes.
I was there! 😊 Can’t wait to go back!
love the excited happy face when he got on the coat ! Cutie pie 🙏🏼🦄
Thanks!
Loving the videos! Have learned so much already for our upcoming trip. I was wondering if you could explain a little bit about parking in Reykjavic, such as parking garages, rates, how to pay, and so on. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your videos ❤️⭐
Nice video. Your son is beautiful and gorgeous too. He is a beautiful gorgeous little boy. Nice mall too. I will be immigrating to Iceland in the next couple of years and Reykjavik is the city in Iceland I will live in. I might meet you and see you when I come and live over there.
Cool. Baby is adorable!
Thank you!
What's interesting is that if you convert the kronor to USD and then calculate the exchange rate for US and Canadian dollars, the prices in Icelandic kronor are pretty close to what they would be in Canadian dollars. Although a slice of pizza in a Canadian mall, in actual Canadian dollars without converting to another currency, would cost a fraction of what it would be in kronor.
As a Canadian who recently visited Iceland, it was very easy. I just omitted the last two digits to calculate the approximate price in Canadian dollars. I also found I didn’t need cash at all.
Happy video! Thanks for the smile!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, malls would be ideal in Iceland since the weather isn't always the best.
Hopefully will be come to Iceland for my PhD this video is really helpful 👌.
The burger store I believe used to be a McDonalds before they exited the market.
When we visited a few years ago we debated whether or not to go to the mall. I kind of wish we did! Next time!
Thanks again - so looking forward to our visit next month. One Sunday we will be wandering Reykjavik for a few hours - what will be open on a Sunday morning and early afternoon?
thanks for your vlog🍻🍻
I saw an Icewear store, that is where I ordered my sweater and my wife's Christmas presents. !!!!
great video enjoyed
As a Norwegian who's bf is Icelandic, I've been to this mall numerous times as it is the closest as to were his parents used to live, I was quite disapointed with the malls they have. To my suprise I expected more. More as in terms of variation and brands, as Iceland has a lot of things we don't have here in Norway. I rarely shop anything while in Iceland tb.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤wow so beautiful
Very informative thank you. Two friends and I are heading to Iceland next January. It will be our first time there.
How wonderful! Keep watching my videos and check out my website for tons of planning resources ~ icelandwithaview.com ~ and you'll be prepared to have the best.trip.ever in no time! Happy planning!
@@IcelandwithaView Ho thanks I've subscribed. I'll watch many more of your videos. Were not going after all. Decided only four hours of daylight in January is not great. I'm sure we'll go at another time.
Love your videos. StYed in down town Reykjavik in 2018 and fell in love with it. I am a pensioner and just love watching your visits to the shops. What is the health service like?❤
Thank you be in Iceland on the 15th July 23. Love these vids
Yay! Safe travels and I hope you enjoy your time in Iceland!
My favourite place ❤ is Iceland I want to knew more about great video thanx
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice mall
Hey! I'm kind of new here. Would like to ask if your son speaks already, and whether he's picking up on some icelandic. If so, it would be lovely to watch it. Anyways, great channel! :)
Good vidéos i will visite iceland in month 8
My son is moving there next month and needs everything to furnish and supply a studio apartment. We plan to shop Costco and IKEA but is there an equivalent to Walmart for the smaller kitchen/laundry supplies?
I think you comment about how pricy it is a bit wrong. All of the Nordic countries are pricey but the earnings are also big. Dominos is actually cheaper in Iceland than in Norway. Living in a country with taxes is like this. But many cities such as London, Paris, Moscow etc are way more expensive too. In Indonesia beer and alcohol drinks costs more than in the Nordic countries. Just be careful ;) other than that.. nice video!
Great video! Do I need to visit Iceland?
well as expected imported items are more expensive and that would cover a wide variety. Questions like : do Icelanders grow vegetable gardens? do they canned food?
Ricky Chan is actually Vietnamese. And sadly you totally ignored my absolute favorite store: Eymundsson, the bookstore. 😢
Is there any shops that sell plus sized clothing - like equivalent to US sizes 16-26+
I'm wondering about thrift stores or second-hand stores in Iceland.
6:51 the helicopter i voiced!!!!
Ну это уже у меня в мыслях прочитали про Кринглан и нарисовали!
Is it Euro they spend in iceland
6 bucks for a slice of pizza and that’s 💩y pizza! But that looks like a cool mall,nice to see everything isn’t under lock & key.
Please translate prices to American $. Love your tours.
This was so weirdly worded but of course you can get over the counter meds, just not all of the same ones as in other countries and you need to go to the pharmacy, not anywhere else. You can get Ibuprofen and paracetamol (acetaminophen) and other meds like anti histamines. Just not anything with codeine like some other countries allow.
Wow nice very clean mall will 🪵 like vist❤
Visiting the mall is a great rainy day activity!
True and fun
Thank you...food is so expensive!
It really is!!
Where's björk
Is there any Starbucks in Iceland?
Iceland has no Starbucks. Its coffee chain is Te og Kaffi, as shown in this video.
@@user-mrfrog I see…thanks!
Appreciate the video, this makes it easier for me to to decide where to stay on my next trip. Also, just followed you on Instagram as well.
Are you living in Reykjavik ?
Super Thanks and we need and wish 8K Photos or videos in Real Best 8K 60fps or 120fps HDR10+ resolution clarity quality and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo Surround , Soon Please.
I used to go at least 2-3 times each week to the Kringlan... but after they changed the hot food situation, closed "Stjörnutorg" and moved everything / opened "Kúmen" instead I no longer go there at all. Nope I have not gone to Kringlan since last summer... (2022) If I want to eat from "Rikki Chan" I now go to "Smáratorg" in "Kópavogur" Anything else I rather go to "Smáralind" even though I live in Reykjavík
So you have to see a dr to get ibuprofen?
you can get 400mg over the counter, but anything stronger than that you need to see a doctor
@@liljakaren97 dang no codeine no tramadol either I am guessing.
@@expertadvice4u nope, you need a prescription
Bacana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🍯🍫🥧🧁🍧🍩🎪🎪🎪🎪🚒🚒🚖🚖🪂🪂
Hi❤😍
Are you from states and moved to iceland? Became a citizen?
Hi there Chris! Yep, in 2015 my husband and I moved to Iceland as chiropractors. We aren't citizens yet but hopefully soon! Check out my website for more info about moving to Iceland: icelandwithaview.com/5-important-things-to-know-before-traveling-to-iceland/
@@IcelandwithaView I've been watching your videos and from whatvive heard hard to get citizenship and very interested in living there after military
@@IcelandwithaView Also love your videos great content and has definitely caught my attention...do you miss the US? I think only thing I'd miss would be my kids as I'd be coming by myself
Name of mall?
Kringlan
Is that a joke? The title of the video literally mentions the name of the mall - Kringlan.
What kind of stroller is that? Most strollers have reclined seats, but this one lets your son sit upright.
Only see a few people
Coffee is expensive there
I used to be a mall rat 😂
Sbarro is everywhere.
I imagine American expats would find this location comforting.
Malls in the US are dying! I haven't been to one in 2 years !
There were NO malls when I lived there, no Costco, no supermarkets etc.
Hey Hagkaup is a supermarket 😅
That must have been in the early 1980s or before then.
I remember when American malls were vibrant and a fun place to go, sadly so many are dying.
It's depressing to see how Iceland is changing for the worse. I remember when almost all of Reykjavik had a beautiful view. Now there are hideous big buildings on the seafront. And the downtown area is now just for tourists.
How difficult is Iceland if you only speak English?
Not difficult at all; almost everyone speaks English in Iceland! 🙌
字幕と音声が合っていそうで全然合ってない😅
Mall's destroyed all the small business.
I love going to the mall, especially on rainy days! I love small businesses too!
theres really no need to use your finger to point out things that we can clearly see better without your finger...fingers are so "yesterday" in youtube-ville....know what I mean?
What a nasty comment! It shows who you are....know what I mean?
BTW, fingers are okay. They help anyone watching on a small screen.
"fingers are so "yesterday" in youtube-ville....know what I mean?" - I heard that in my mind in a Valley Girl voice. Probably because it was a Valley Girl type comment.
