Airport - Keflavik International Airport (Icelandic: Keflavikurflugvollur, IATA: KEF, ICAO: BIKF). Keflavik International Airport is Iceland's main international airport, and is located 30 miles (50 KM) from Reykjavik in the town of Keflavik.
Shopping - Laugavegur, the main shopping street, has many funky boutiques, with both Icelandic and international designs. Skolavor?ustigur, which runs up to Hallgrimskirkja, has a range of souvenir and craft shops where you can find a perfect gift for the family. If you yearn for international chains such as Zara and Debenhams, then head to one of 2 malls in the capital area; Kringlan in Reykjavik and the newer Smaralind in neighboring city, Kopavogur. Though keep in mind, everything in Iceland probably costs more than it does back home. Items can be as much as 3-4 times the price in neighboring countries, mainly because of taxes (24.5% sales tax on products, 7% on books), import duties and so on, though there are exceptions to this rule.
