Book a Tour and Buy Some Handcrafted Goods at the Greenland Centre
The Greenland Centre is your one-stop shop for all your Greenlandic needs when you’re in Reykjavik. The visitor’s shop, which is conveniently situated on Laugavegur, features Greenlandic and Icelandic goods for sale, a travel information area and an exhibition space featuring arctic-related artwork. The owners, a husband and wife team that live in Greenland, launched the centre to strengthen the relationship between Greenland and Iceland. Even though the two nations are geographically close, the cultures of Iceland and Greenland are quite different and the owners want to create a venue for exploring the cultural similarities and differences between the two arctic nations.
Quality Products
The shop within the Greenland Centre is a feast for the senses with unique products for sale, carefully handpicked by the owners to show the best of both cultures. Gorgeous skins from seals, reindeer and sheep beg to be touched. Hand-knit sweaters, scarves and hats will keep you warm in all weather conditions. Fur-lined and leather bags will keep your possessions safe and fashionable, and warm blankets will keep you cosy. There are hand-carved wood accessories and jewellery available at the shop as well.
Travel Services
The Greenland Centre offers travel services, where people can find out more about travelling to Iceland’s Nordic neighbour, Greenland. There are a number of tours available to several parts of Greenland, ranging from day tours to weeks of travelling. There are hiking, hunting and leisure tours available, as well as special tours catered especially for the elderly.
The Greenland Centre acts as a reception venue for private parties and meetings, and invites people to exhibit and/or sell their arctic-related artwork for one month at a time. Make Greenland Centre your gateway to Greenland, through Iceland.
