Laugaveguris the straight "Road of the springs", which people used to take to do laundry in the springs of Laugadalur. It is the main shopping street in Reykjavik, and is a lively and colorful hub of activity. It is known for its boutiques, restaurants, bars and street art, including the striking building at number 23, which is home to the Mjúk Iceland store and features an impressive mural.

Hiking

Reykjavik's shopping street with bars, cafes and a variety of shops. The big street in Reykjavik - Laugavegur, which means "Wash Road", was once the route to the hot springs, where many Icelanders took their clothes to be washed.
Think of it as a street that symbolizes an entire country. Within a few blocks you can get a wide selection of what the innovative, surprising and design-loving country has to offer.
