Meet up at Ingolfstorg Square in the center of Reykjavik by the two stone high seat pillars (over 2 meters high).
The square is at the beginning of Austurstræti (Austurstræti 1) and is squared off by the streets Aðalstræti, Hafnarstræti, Veltusund and Vallarstræti. If you walk down Laugavegur (the main shopping street), please just continue all the way down until you come to the square. Walk straight down until the end. On the Ingolfur square itself you can see Kvosin, a small grocery market, Citycenter Plaza Hotel. Hlölli a fast food establishment and finally the Kebab house.
It is recommended to use Google Maps because the Icelandic street names can be tricky.
