Kringlan

Kringlan

Kringlan is one of the largest shopping malls in Reykjavík with over 170 shops, restaurants and services. Built in 1987, it contains everything from a library, theatre and cinema to a liquor store, candy stores and a pub. It has grown over the years, and is thought by many to be the biggest threat for the Downtown Reykjavík stores. Kringlan is also competing with another shopping mall, Smáralind in Kópavogur for customers.

Name

The name is dragged from the Kringlu marsh or Kringlumýri.Literal translation: "Round" or "The Round", (though the mall is not round.)
