    Pingvellir National Park

    Our adventure begins at Þingvellir National Park, a site of great beauty and national significance. Here, you will enjoy views of Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland and one of only two places globally where you can witness tectonic plates slowly drifting apart. This location was home to Alþingi, the world’s oldest parliament, where Icelanders gathered from 930 AD to 1799 AD to deliberate on important matters.
