About Old Harbour Souvenirs
Old Harbour Souvenirs is a small souvenir shop on Geirsgata at Reykjavík's Old Harbour, a few steps from the whale-watching ticket booths and boat check-ins on the waterfront northwest of downtown. If you have twenty minutes to kill before a boat leaves, this is where a lot of people end up spending them.
The shop publishes no stock list or prices, so treat it as a place to browse on your way past rather than a reason to cross town. If you're after an expensive hand-knit lopapeysa, compare prices and labels in a couple of shops on Laugavegur first, since many cheaper sweaters are machine-made.
The location is what makes it useful. Whale-watching and puffin boats into Faxaflói Bay leave from the piers right outside, and the Reykjavík Maritime Museum and the Grandi area are a short walk west. Heading east, you reach Kolaportið flea market and Harpa concert hall in about five to ten minutes on foot.
Old Harbour Souvenirs doesn't publish its opening hours, and they can shift with the season, so don't plan a special trip around it. Most visitors spend 10 to 20 minutes inside, and walking the harbor front around it is free at any hour.
