3 Best Shopping in Haukadalur, Reykjanes Peninsula and the South Coast (with the Golden Circle)

A funky little art gallery founded by an Icelandic couple in search of new life in the countryside, Galleri Laugarvatn has a wide variety of Iceland handcrafts from well-known Icelandic designers and local artists. Next door they have a cafe where you can get light meals for a reasonable price; the homemade waffles are especially lovely.

This classic countryside supermarket offers all the necessities for locals, including some fantastic burgers. It makes a smart pit stop before heading farther east or west, as supermarkets tend to be far apart.
