Laugavegur is one of the oldest streets in Reykjavik. The street has its roots dating back to the city's early days when it was a path to natural hot springs. The name Laugavegur roughly translates to 'the Waterway', because women used to bring their laundry to this area to be washed in the hot springs. It was officially constructed in 1885. Over time, Laugavegur evolved from a practical route into a vibrant city center. By the end of the 19th century it was known for its beautiful Icelandic style buildings that now characterize much of downtown Reykjavik. These colorful old houses, together with the street art and amazing murals, make Reykjavik a truly vibrant and colorful small city, especially during the gray and dark winter days.

Laugaveguris the straight "Road of the springs", which people used to take to do laundry in the springs of Laugadalur. It is the main shopping street in Reykjavik, and is a lively and colorful hub of activity. It is known for its boutiques, restaurants, bars and street art, including the striking building at number 23, which is home to the Mjúk Iceland store and features an impressive mural.

Reykjavik's shopping street with bars, cafes and a variety of shops. The big street in Reykjavik - Laugavegur, which means "Wash Road", was once the route to the hot springs, where many Icelanders took their clothes to be washed.
Think of it as a street that symbolizes an entire country. Within a few blocks you can get a wide selection of what the innovative, surprising and design-loving country has to offer.
