Holiday Opening Hours – Restaurants, Museums, Shops and More

Christmas Shopping Reykjavík

In Iceland, Christmas is taken seriously. Reykjavík is transformed into a magical Winter Wonderland every December with Christmas lights hanging wherever they can possibly be hung, and Christmas cheer reigning supreme. When Christmas finally rolls around, Icelanders retreat to their homes with their nearest and dearest for a feast, leaving the streets empty and bare. Since almost everyone is at home with their families, many shops and restaurants close up for the major feast days. If you’re in town during the holidays and looking for a restaurant, museum or a swimming pool that’s open, the good people working for the Reykjavík municipality have got you covered.
