Smáralind is more than a mall—it’s a cultural experience reflecting Iceland’s blend of tradition and modernity. Whether stocking up for a road trip or relaxing between adventures, it’s a must-visit in the Capital Region.
2024-March. Indoor mall. There were lots of parking. The facility was clean. Restrooms are available. Prices are typical for Iceland. There are some little kid's play areas. Lots of benches and chairs. Good to stroll around. Happy Shopping 👍
A wonderful shopping mall festivly decorated for the Christmas holiday. Two stories with a wide variety of shops and places to eat. The mall was busy but not overcrowded which made for an enjoyable shopping experience. I did not notice any vacancies meaning you will have great options to meet your needs. We visited on two separate occasions. No problems parking. Unlike in the US where the malls are dying and have high vacancies, this mall was thriving. This mall made shopping easy and enjoyable for the holidays in Iceland 🇮🇸
Your one stop shop for all the things you will need for your trip. Picked up a a few items of clothing from H&M for light trail hiking, Dressmann for pants and pants at North 66. This mall has an entertainment center for families and small play centers for the kids on the first floor. Several places to stop and get a bite to eat, whether you want fresh juices or coffee and even skyr, this mall has it ready.
A mall with shops for different purposes. There's a supermarket inside as well as many brands of clothings, kitchen products and etc. Some restaurants and sweet shops as well. The design is quite trendy. Plenty of parking spaces outside and quite near to the highway.
