When it comes to alcohol “the rumours are true”, alcohol in Iceland is “a budget-blower”, the Independent rightly states. That’s why visitors are advised to shop liquor at Vínbúðin, the state-run off-licence.
And steer clear of those souvenir shops, the article says, as they all tap into “insatiable tourist demand for stuffed puffins and Viking chic apparel“. Pop into one of the Red Cross shops outlets downtown and pick up a traditional Icelandic sweater or “Björkesque vintage”.
Lastly, opt for free attractions such as Northern Light viewing.
