Tips and tricks for tourists in Reykjavík, Iceland // 2019 

I agree this video came off as super low effort, a voiceover would’ve been nice

Your conception was low effort the video was fine

😂😂

That's so awesome to hear man! Really hope you guys visit and love it even more in person!

@@TheKaren096 Thank you so much for answering ! greetings and big hugs from Italy !

Yes! There are 31 bónus stores outside of Reykjavík, here is a link to bonus website and you can see all of the stores around Iceland ; bonus.is/english/

@@TheKaren096 Thank you!

ahahaha awesome! We don't have 100's of flavories but we have them!

Hahaha very truee

thats amazing! right now they are literally closing down almost everything unfortunatly. There are only 20 people allowed to be in the same room together and a mask requirement at all times. But for new years there are always fireworks at Hallgrímskirkjan and thats something they do at midnight, its really beautiful and downtown so I do recommend going there but just be safe. Hope this helped a little, you can always ask me more questions like this, my mind is just a little blank on tips right now because of covid and the almost lockdown

How awesome! Hope you enjoy the trip

thank you :)

hahhaha I do xD

hahah lol, thank you so much!

Hey! Great question, yeah you can buy beer or any alcohol with around 5% or over. Here is a link in english for the store so you can have a look of what they have and the % of alcohol www.vinbudin.is/english/home/products/vorur.aspx/?category=beer/

you can always click on the highest number if you are not sure and then they put the amount you didn't use back on your credit or debit card, it's just to see if your card has enough money on it :)

wait you don't have pringles in germany? 😨😨

Kphotography we have but its very expensive here (3€)

Thank you so much! I hope your dream comes true, I imagine Chile to be very different!

@@TheKaren096so much time has passed lmao. So here's whats in my mind, after astronomy ill make my phd in order to become a doctor In astrophysics, and then, maybe, I could try with my best efford to learn icelandic... Why would you do that? Ur probably asking urself. Well, my dream now is not only to visit iceland but to live there. My biggest fear is that I would never do that if im not helpfull to the country somehow, so ill try my best to work in the university of iceland or doing something relate to my work in astronomy and physics! This is so random I know, u're probably thinking im crazy but no. I swear to every god ill live there.

Hey, so in many gas stations like kvikk, 10-11 and such, have a sim card that you can top on in most gas station or online. The most popular one is called Nova and they all usually are bought with the intension on choosing between 3 types of card, for internet, calls or both and how much you want to spend

@@TheKaren096 thank you for the detailed reply.

It's still a bit cheaper than Iceland, I live in amsterdam right now and I find that I spend a lot less here than at home in Iceland

The only place is vinbudin as it's illegal to sell alcohol in grocery stores or specialty stores. The other places you could find special beers would be in bars and restaurants but it's a lot cheaper at vinbudin for the same stuff

Really hope you get the chance to visit someday!

That's awesome! If you are only staying in reykjavik I recomment Perlan. Perlan has been building aurora room and they have a cave in there, it's like 0 degrees or - something in there and it's really cool if you do not actually go to a real cave! If you want to go swimming then sundhöll is the most popular one downtown. We also have a penis museum, I made another video where I went there and a couple other places wich I will link as well. Hope these help a little and have an awesome time! perlan.is phallus.is/en/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_uo1D2fK0j4.html

Kphotography thank you, that museum looks fantastic! Do you know any good pub that's affordable? My mum has birthday while we're there so I wanna take her out for some drinks and I heard that alcohol is rather expensive. I'm mostly looking for thrift stores that offer more than clothing like books etc.. Also good places to eat like take away. It's just a short trip from Friday to Tuesday morning

@@Kaopuschel So if you are staying downtown they have places like Sæta svínið or Fjallkonan that are not as expensive but yes alchocol is always more expensive in pubs or restaurant then just from the store it self. If you want to thrift clothes we have a store downtown called Spútnik and a store called ExtraLoppan in the mall Smáralindin. We also have Góði hirðirinn but that store has mostly furniture rather then books.. We have a lot of take away places and home deliverys like Dominos is everywhere.. If you are staying downtown we have Subway, Mandí, Hlöllabátar and many other small places you can walk to and take away.. If you are not staying downtown and not driving then it's a little harder sometimes to walk to a close by place for take away..

That's so great to hear, I am happy I helped, hope you enjoy your stay here :)

Thank you so much for the comment, really hope you guys can use some of them! Hope you pack warm clothes for winter and enjoy your trip!

That means alot! Thank you😊

@@TheKaren096 😉

@@TheKaren096 sister , how can i contact you ? Please tell me . Its very important to me

Hey, I know that in almost every big supermarket for exaple Bónus you can find glutenfree section but usually something that doesn't really need to be in the fridge. If you go to Bónus you can see where they usually keep the milk, cheese and cold thing, they will have meal packs there, vegan, vegeterian, meat.. I am not 100% sure if it is gluten free but it is the only package ready meal I can think of right now that is ready to heat up in the store. We also have a place called Gló that offers vegan or gluten free food www.glo.is ,really recomend them, not to expensive and super good food

ooow thank you so much! hope this video helped a little with your trip and really hope you enjoyed Iceland

@@TheKaren096 I loved it. I want to live there!

@@diogot7632 haha that's so awesome to hear!

Yeah I have never wanted to drive anywhere other than reykjavik over winter time haha I can only imagine what the weather is like there!

Thank you so much. Anything specific you would like to see or know ?

@@TheKaren096 Thank you for your prompt reply. Fruit, veg, pasta, noodles, roasted chicken, milk etc..to name a few. The kind of food one buy when going with a camper van.

Thank you for the tip, I am working on a few more things to put into one video and I will put in better review of the normal food haha. Will hopefully be up next month!

Hey Evan! it really depends on what you want to see and go. From the airport to downtown they always have a bus and to see for example the golden circle or northern light, there are many trips you can take so you don't need to be driving. If you are staying downtown you are fairly close to a shop and some things to explore by just walking around. We also have alot of out of town bussess that go to places like, Ísafjörður, Akureyri, Selfoss and more but you have to by a buss ticket and they are expensive. Hope this answer helped!

Hello does Iceland have public buses, if so do they go to any tourists sites?

how awesome!

Hey! So here is a link to the public bus in iceland, it's called "Strætó" and they do take wheelchairs but if you have more questions about them, they have all the info to contact them on the website as well ; www.straeto.is/en/upplysingar/spurt-svarad There are also vans that you can rent yes specially for people using wheelchair and others, there info is here ; www.stolabilar.is/um-okkur Also there are taxis who are bigger and take wheelchair but they can be really expensive so I recommend checking the others before hand. Really hope this helped you and you can always ask me for more info and i will try my best to answer :)

@@TheKaren096 thank you soooooooo much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 this makes me so happy. As an independent wheelchair person this makes me extremely nervous being stranded where I would have no one to help me. So knowing Iceland public transportation has wheelchair access gives me hope, I cant wait to be there.

@@littlelady.24 Girl I get it, it must be really hard traveling to a new place where you are not sure about wheelchair access. You can always ask me more questions if needed and I hope you have an amazing time here! 💗

yes!

Hey! So if the weather is the worst and you can't travel anywhere but staying in Reykjavik, we have Perlan and inside they have aurora show, ice caves and much more and it's amazing! perlan.is/exhibitions/ For tours I have seen these many times but personally never been myself ; intotheglacier.is/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAq97uBRCwARIsADTziyaLW4AK9shn5YrkgUkXDo4xWvKmZo0qfaEBl-vDkb-k5UnXndNPsuUaAlslEALw_wcB Hope this helps and you have an awesome time!

Hey! So it depends on the country you are in, if the inner or outer circle has to wait but in Iceland we have it by law that the inner circle has the right over outer circle :)

@@TheKaren096 thanks for following up 🎉👌

oow thank you so much! 🤗

to be honest, we had many souvenirs stores for example in the mall but they closed down. We have a few stores down town in rvk but I think they all have around the same price. I believe your best bet for cheaper price is book stores, sometimes they have some souvenirs. Hope this helped :)

It is very beautiful yes, hope you are happy with the video 😊

Aww, thank you for watching!

@@TheKaren096 excusme do you have page on facebook or instagram about iceland? thanks.

@@proboxsportproboxsport instagram.com/k_amateur_photography/ :)

Greetings! I really hope you get to travel here one day and enjoy it as much as possible! 😊

OMG yes!! 💖

@@TheKaren096 Firstly congratulations. I wish to visit Iceland. Someday I believe that's gonna happen. Maybe we will bump into each other. It's a small world. Around 350,000 approx. Very informative videos. Thank you.

@@sagargholap6266 Thank you so much! Glad you like the video and if there is anything you are wondering about then please just ask away! Yes it is a small world and Iceland is tiny so maybe we will!
