History & Background
Kringlan opened 1987 as Iceland's first modern shopping mall. Expanded 1997 and 2010. The name 'Kringlan' means 'the circle' — referring to the roundabout the mall sits beside. Became Reykjavík's main shopping destination and remains so despite competition from newer malls (Smáralind in Kópavogur).
Kringlan is a practical shopping destination for visitors who need clothing, outdoor gear, groceries, services or indoor entertainment. Store mix and opening hours change, so current details should be checked directly with the centre rather than relying on a static list in this guide.
