Les meilleures boutiques mode et cadeaux Iceland

Timetable

Stores generally open at 10am and close at 7pm. However, these times can vary, especially for some small shops (even if they're located in the city center). Check before you go.

Budget & Tips

It is possible to reclaim VAT on certain products purchased in Iceland. To do this, you need to buy in shops displaying an "Iceland refund tax free" sign, and ask for your "Iceland refund tax free" cheque for amounts over 4,000 Kr (no refund without this form!). Before you leave, you can cash your cheque at the office in Keflavik airport. Please note that refunds can take two to three months.

Sales

There are no regulated sales periods, but they generally take place in January and July.

What's very local

Among the must-have souvenirs, the famous Icelandic sweater is the star! And in general, anything made from Icelandic wool.

The Kolaportiðflea market in Reykjavik is the only flea market in Iceland. You'll find a bric-a-brac of Icelandic objects and a fish market.

Tourist traps

It is forbidden to bring rocks from Iceland, whatever their origin, as this contributes to erosion in the country.
