Þingvellir - National Park
Step into the heart of Icelandic history and geology at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most meaningful places in the entire country.
This is where Iceland’s first parliament, the Alþingi, was founded in 930 AD — making it one of the oldest democratic institutions in the world. But Þingvellir is not only important historically. It is also a geological wonder where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, watching the earth slowly split apart.
The park is filled with dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear fissures, forests, rivers, and sweeping lava fields. Few places combine so much beauty, history, and raw nature in one spot.
Why it’s special:
• Walk between two continents
• Discover Iceland’s ancient political heart
• Stunning landscapes with lakes, rift valleys, lava formations, and rocky cliffs
Geysir - Geothermal Area
Get ready for exploding hot springs and Iceland’s most famous geothermal show! The Geysir Geothermal Area is home to bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, colorful mineral deposits, and — most importantly — Strokkur, the erupting geyser.
While the original Great Geysir sleeps today, Strokkur erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters (100 feet) into the sky. The entire area feels alive, with the smell of minerals and steam rising from the earth — a reminder of Iceland’s volcanic power just beneath your feet.
Why it’s special:
• Watch Strokkur erupt right next to you
• Experience Iceland’s raw geothermal energy
• Explore a surreal landscape shaped by heat, pressure, and time
Gullfoss - Waterfall
Prepare to be amazed by the force and beauty of Gullfoss, the “Golden Waterfall,” one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders.
Fed by glacial meltwater from the massive Langjökull glacier, Gullfoss thunders down two dramatic tiers into a deep canyon — creating clouds of mist that often catch sunlight and form perfect rainbows. The sound, the power, the scenery… it’s unforgettable.
Standing at the viewpoints, you can feel the earth shake beneath your feet as thousands of tons of water crash below.
Why it’s special:
• Two-tiered waterfall with incredible power
• Frequent rainbows on sunny days
• One of the most photogenic and iconic locations in Iceland
