The Largest Flea Market in Reykjavik 

Kolaportid is hailed as the largest flea market in Reykjavik and is popular among locals and foreigners. In fact, only a few places can match this flea market when it comes to the frequency of its visitors. 

Its size is also due to the number of items one can find in the market. 

On the outside, the flea market is the best place to buy second-hand and vintage clothes and used books. But, aside from those, there are toys, hand-made jewelry, artworks, records, and other interesting stuff, such as antique brass horns or old military gear. 

Kolaportid also allows different sellers to rent a table and sell their wares the old-fashioned way. Thus, some sellers may only be there for a limited period. 

What Can You Do in Kolaportid?

Kolaportid is a flea market, so the main thing visitors can do is buy items they need or go on a scavenger hunt. Aside from those, people can drink coffee and eat, do their grocery shopping, and even buy gifts for their family and friends. 

At a corner of the market is a cafe where people can take a rest while drinking coffee. You can also buy food there if you are hungry and craving something sweet, like Icelandic cakes or doughnuts. 

Going to Kolaportid is also an opportunity to do some food shopping. In fact, some stalls sell meat, eggs, bread, dried seafood, and more. 

Due to the number of unique items being sold in Kolaportid, it's also the best place for foreigners to buy souvenirs to take back home. 

How to Get to Kolaportid 

Kolaportid is situated in Reykjavik's city center, at the Old Harbour, and is easy to reach. Also, since the market is part of a big building, it's not difficult to spot it.

Those who are already in Reykjavik and want to visit Kolaportid can do so by riding a city bus or a taxi. 

For the bus riders, note that Straeto runs city buses. There are around 27 bus routes available in Reykjavik, and one of them, route 14, passes by the flea market. For travelers who'd like to ride a taxi, note that they are much more expensive than city buses. 

Travelers coming from another country who'll be landing at the Keflavik International Airport can ride a direct transfer from Keflavik and get off at the BSI Reykjavik bus terminal. From the terminal, travelers can ride the bus passing by Kolaportid or walk there.

For example, 101 Reykjavik Street Food serves different types of soup and classic fish & chips for people on a schedule. For vegetarians, there's Chickpea next to Kronan, which serves falafel, salad, vegetable soup, and even kimchi.

Like other markets, some sellers will also allow you to haggle the price of certain items. Thus, remember to negotiate before buying any item, you may even get great discounts.
