Reykjavik's vibrant main shopping and dining street stretches 2km through the city center, lined with independent boutiques, Icelandic design shops, galleries, cafés, bars, and restaurants. Named after the historic hot springs route, it's the social heart of Reykjavik and particularly electric on weekend nights during the famous Runtur bar crawl.
