1. 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.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavík ist die nördlichste Hauptstadt eines Staates, eine bunte, kompakte Stadt voller Kunst und Musik am Tor zu Islands Vulkanlandschaften.

Die markante Hallgrímskirkja, deren Turm von Basaltsäulen inspiriert ist, ragt über Straßen mit bunt bemalten Häusern auf. Unten am Hafen schimmert die glasfassadige Konzerthalle Harpa auf dem Wasser, und die Skulptur Sun Voyager blickt über das Meer zum Berg Esja. Die Laugavegur, die Haupteinkaufsstraße, ist von Designläden, Cafés und Bars gesäumt.
