Place description

Rainbow Street is one of the main streets in the capital city of Reykjavík, Iceland. As you might guess, this is due to the painting of the roadway in rainbow colours, which took place in 2015 as a celebration of tolerance as part of the Pride festival. Pride in particular is a popular event in Iceland, and has been repeated annually since 1999. Rainbow Street is a beautiful street and area in general, not only because of the coloring of the road, but also the view of the majestic Hallgrímskirkja Church. There are also many shops and restaurants in the area.

Rainbow Street is not the only road painted in rainbow colours in Iceland. In the north of the island, in the town of Seyðisfjörður, there is a similar street leading to the local church.

Skuggi Hotel is a modern hotel in the centre of Reykjavik, offering smaller but well-equipped rooms and free parking. Its main advantage is its location, where you are a few minutes to the water, but also to the very centre or to the supermarket.

Tips for places to eat in the area

Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur

Reykjavík • Bistro • $

A small stand with the legendary hot dog, which was also visited by former US President Bill Clinton. We recommend the “full” version with mustard, ketchup and fried onions.
