Thingvellir

The unique history and geology possessed by Thingvellir makes this UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. Iceland’s Parliament was established in this city in 930 and remained there until the late 18th century. In 1930, Thingvellir National Park (the first of its kind in Iceland) was established to preserve the remains of the original parliament site as well as the natural wonders in the surrounding area. The city is home to Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland, as well as the Silfra fissure and the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall. Diving or snorkeling through the crystal clear waters in the rifts between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates is also a very popular activity for visitors to Thingvellir.
