Grafarvogur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkraːvarˌvɔːɣʏr̥]) is among the largest residential districts of Reykjavík, Iceland. It is a relatively new neighbourhood and is located in eastern most side of Reykjavík, major construction began in the late 1980s and continued well into the 1990s.

Neighbourhoods

The district includes 15 neighbourhoods: Hamrar [ˈhamrar̥], Foldir [ˈfɔltɪr̥], Hús [ˈhuːs], Rimar [ˈrɪːmar̥], Borgir [ˈpɔrcɪr̥], Víkur [ˈviːkʏr̥], Engi [ˈeiɲcɪ], Spöng [ˈspœyŋk], Staðir [ˈstaːðɪr̥], Höfðar [ˈhœvðar̥], Bryggjuhverfi [ˈprɪccʏˌkʰvɛrvɪ], Geirsnef [ˈceir̥sˌnɛːf], Gufunes [ˈkʏːvʏˌnɛːs], keldur, and Geldinganes [ˈcɛltiŋkaˌnɛːs].

Shopping

Grafarvogur currently has one medium-sized shopping centre called Spöngin. It's not a mall in itself but a cluster of stores, Hagkaup being the largest. Also, there are small clusters of stores in Hverafold, by Víkurvegur and Langirimi Streets. Those are much smaller and contain only a few stores, the supermarkets being the largest of the few.
