  1. The Thingvellir National park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest national park in Europe. There I will give you a detailed introduction to the geology as well as a little insight into the cultural significance of this place.

We will take a walk in the National Park and see also Öxarárfoss, a small waterfall that you maybe know from 'Game of Thrones'

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
