Kolaportið

Kolaportið is Iceland's only flea market. It takes place indoors in the old Customs building, close to the harbour of the capital city, Reykjavík.[1][2][3][4][5]

Goods sold include second-hand records, liquorice, clothing, antiques, and books.[2][3][4] In the food section, fishmongers sell fermented shark, dried cod, pickled herring, and whale meat.[1][2][3] There are also bread and sandwiches for sale.[5]

Kolaportið is normally open only during weekends.[1][3][4][5]

It opened in 1989, in the city parking garage under a bank building. In 1994, it moved into the Customs House. In 2024, the City of Reykjavik decided to move the University of the Arts into that facility, necessitating a "Search for new facilities for a public market in the center of Reykjavík."[6][7] Unable to find a suitable new location, it was extended to at least March 2025.[8]
