: exchange rate exchange rate
Icelandic krona, fluctuating between 0.055 and 0.059. 1 Icelandic krona =0.059 RMB. You can use dollars, Norwegian krone, euros, etc. Directly at Reykjavik airport. There are special exchange points. Of course, you may lose some money on the exchange rate, but the advantage is convenience. If there are other Nordic countries before your trip, you can exchange inexhaustible foreign currency here. Refueling in Iceland, restaurants, etc. You can basically swipe your card. Some small scenic spots may not swipe their cards, so we still need to replace some crowns in case of emergency. When we took a boat in Hu Bing, we met a broken credit card machine, and finally we gave it cash, so it is very important to prepare some cash!
Icelandic coins
Icelandic coins and paper money are portraits of great men in Iceland, and Icelandic coins are all kinds of fish rich in Iceland. They are all in large denominations. 100 yuan is all coins.
what be worth to buy
Let's talk about food first, and go to the supermarket to buy something. In Reykjavik's supermarket, a lovely Icelandic grandmother introduced an Icelandic yogurt. Skyr is a kind of "yogurt" made by Icelanders in an ancient way, which began in the unique period of Beijing more than 1000 years ago. Icelanders think skyr is not yogurt, but skyr is skyr. Tell them they don't know yogurt. But Skyr tastes like yogurt, which is fermented from milk. Different from traditional yogurt, its protein content is even higher than that of the familiar Greek yogurt. Moreover, the most natural recipes handed down by Icelanders ensure that skyr becomes the most natural and pure representative food in Iceland, which is not available anywhere else. China has not introduced it. When I was in Iceland, I could eat two cans a day. I have tasted all the different flavors. Pear flavor and blueberry flavor are better. Don't buy the most natural and tasteless, because fruits must be mixed together to eat, otherwise they will be very sour.
Iceland's water, don't mind that tap water can be turned on, you can drink cold water directly. Although hot water smells like rotten eggs, it contains sulfur. However, the cold water in Iceland is very pure. It tastes better than those in western Europe. There is no smell at all. Very pure. If you want to buy pure water, you can buy the following brands of Icelandic water, which is slightly more expensive. We usually buy pure water in blue bottles.
You can buy some chocolates as souvenirs in Iceland, or you can buy chocolates as daily necessities, because it is particularly cold in the north. We bought two kinds, both of which are delicious. One is cheaper and the other is more expensive. Both brands are produced in Iceland. Sirius's is cheaper, but it has many flavors, such as hazelnut flavor, almond raisin flavor, crispy rice flavor, original flavor and so on. I am cold and hungry after eating this.
OmNom is a chocolate brand in Reykjavik. Many flavors, special. The best seller is the favorite purple of Icelanders. Many people in China can't get used to this taste, because they like laurel flavor very much. They make chocolate taste like sea salt and laurel. You can buy one to try. I like his chocolate because it is classified according to the cocoa content, and each taste is closely related to his cocoa content. Dark chocolate contains 65% cocoa.
Icelandic sweater, as a shopaholic, I list it as a must-buy. Icelandic sheep wool is very special. After nearly a thousand years of evolution, the wool structure of Icelandic sheep is very special. This is a kind of double-layer fiber, light and warm. The most important thing is to have certain waterproof effect. This is why Icelanders are often seen walking in the street without coats and sweaters when it rains. Icelandic wool is called Lopi, and hand-knitted sweater is called Lopapeysa. The knitting method of Icelandic sweater is also very special, that is, its collar is knitted in a whole circle instead of loose front and back pieces. Most sweaters in Iceland are black, white and gray, and the colors around the shoulders represent Iceland's mountains, waterfalls and animals. This is the prevailing frigidity in northern Europe. The biggest feature of Icelandic sweaters is unisex. Because it is hand-knitted, it is difficult to find two identical sweaters.
I bought a puffin's Icelandic wool hat at the airport and bought it as soon as I got off the plane, just in time for the rest of the trip. I also bought a very special puffin sweater in Wake Town. Every hand-knitted sweater in Iceland has a mark with the name of the knitter and the production time. This is a certified Icelandic hand-knitted sweater.
Lovely puffin hat, isn't it appropriate?

If the total amount of one-time settlement exceeds, the merchant will give you a tax refund form.
