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.
