Probably the most famous street in Reykjavik. It runs slightly downhill from the imposing Hallgrimskirkja to downtown. The lower part is the famous Rainbow street. Many cafes, restaurants, shops,...along it. TIP: Park your car around Hallgrimskirkja Church (free parking) and explore the capital on foot.

Walking from Hallgrímskirkja along this street, down to Regnbogagatan and then onto Laugavegur makes some good walk here in this city. Compared to Laugavegur this street here is more quiet. But had much more interesting shops in my opinion. It's less busy and has nice views of the Hallgrímskirkja. Ok, there's some traffic and parked cars blocking some views. But it's more of a real-life street. People live here. It's less touristy and still has some nice clothing shops, arts & crafts and even souvenir stores. It's all here. We liked it. And - if you come down from the church - it ends at the Regnbogagatan. Another quirky sight. As close as you can get to Marios Rainbow Road :)

It's a nice street painted with a rainbow on the ground. You'll find lots of nice restaurants in the area, traditional Icelandic as well as others and lots of shops. We visited on a snowy day so the view wasn't amazing but it's definitely worth a walk around if you are in the area

This is the place to walk around and see people, buy gifts (overpriced!) and get a bite to eat! Very nice and safe area. Stores close around 5-6pm. There are two main streets right by each other - this one has the rainbow painted on it.

One of the great business streets in town. It stretches from the center up a gentle hill toward the big church. We had a nice long walk, lingering to look at restaurant menus and to take some photos of the church.
