1 SKOLAVORDUSTIGUR STREET
The pedestrianised shopping area is a prime spot for photo opportunities. The street was initially painted in the colours of the rainbow to mark the 17th edition of Reykjavik Pride in 2015, but has since become a permanent fixture and unsurprisingly been dubbed Rainbow Road thankfully easier to pronounce than its real name. Iceland is considered one of the world's most LGBTQ+-friendly countries, with its annual Pride parade drawing in tens of thousands of people. On either side of the rainbow are artisan shops, which include ceramic galleries, record shop 12 Tonar, which also hosts concerts and events at its in-store bar and café, one of the oldest coffee shops in Reykjavik, Mokka, and a former prison the grey-stone building Hegningarhusio ('the penalty house').
