Park

Visit Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic site of Iceland’s first parliament. The park is also geologically fascinating, lying in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet.

  • Stroll along boardwalks and paths to see fissures, lava fields, and clear waters.

  • Don’t miss Öxarárfoss, a charming waterfall within the park.

  • Ideal spot for photography, especially the rift valley views with mountains in the background.

  • Snorkel or dive deep between two tectonic plates

Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and allocate 1–2 hours to explore the main sights.
