about us
Kolaportið is the original and the largest flea market in Iceland. The market is primarily a multi functional market where people of all categories meet to reminisce about the good old days with a cup of coffee and a cake. You can also find all kinds of rare things in the market, such as whale meat, horse meat sausages, different eggs as seagull and more. Hand-made products are sold here from local artists, such as woollen sweaters made of high-quality wool called lopapeysa, jewellery made of lava stones, fish skin to name few.
Photographers come to the market to sell their prints of beautiful photos taken all over Iceland. On a cold or rainy day, our market is a heaven for people looking for fun and good people.
We have Icelandic paintings exhibited and for sale. You can find gems and just all kinds of everything in the oldest part of the market. The main updated part of the market is also a space called Salur where everything is on wheels and can be moved away in case of events. We have various events happening here from Icelandic Airwaves to smaller concerts and conferences.
The name Kolaportið means port where coal is stored.
The first market was opened 35 years ago and since then Icelanders have continued the journey of selling homemade cakes, fresh and dried hard fish, handmade products and vintage products or garage sales in the same community. Nowadays, you can find many people from all over the world who represent Iceland in the best possible way.

Every Friday we have a Mini market, where we give space to beginning artists and our permanent sellers, who form a strong community and share their experiences with others. You can find us open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the entrance where the ATM and public toilets are open, near the hot dog stand and garage parking. We host larger events, concerts, exhibitions, conferances, company and birthday parties with from 50 to 600 people.
On the first weekend of the month we have a Pop-up market, where we invite various interesting artists and start-up businesses to our market to liven up the atmosphere. We were also joined by the singer Soffia Karls, who is very happy to sing her favorite songs for you. Just like the previous months, you will find our sensory play workshop for children, where Planeta.is will entertain you with its unique toys for children.
Every Sunday from 12:00 to 17:00 we do our best to bring interesting, creative activities in the market. Water colour painting or creative workshops led by local artists.

“Such a cool place with so many artefacts and traditional foods . Went at roughly 11 in the morning and surprisingly was not that crowded . Most of the shops you can pay with card . So much diversity it’s just a must giving it a visit.”

“A nice indoor market to stroll around. I find it interesting that you can try fish (many types of salmon and the fermented shark). You can find interesting things to shop here.”
Bill Giannoutsos
★★★★★
“This flea market is amazing. If you want a true authentic hand knit Icelandic sweater, this is the place to come for the best selection. So many beautiful unique sweaters. Some vendors take credit cards but many want cash. There is an ATM here so that makes it convenient. The vendors were all very nice.”
