Route

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

Reykjavik is de noordelijkste hoofdstad ter wereld, een kleurrijke, compacte kunst- en muziekstad met de vulkanische landschappen van IJsland voor de deur.

De Hallgrímskirkja, met een toren geïnspireerd op basaltzuilen, rijst boven straten met felgekleurde huizen uit. Bij de haven glinstert het concertgebouw Harpa met zijn glazen gevel op het water, en het beeld Sun Voyager kijkt over zee richting de berg Esja. Laugavegur, de belangrijkste winkelstraat, staat vol designwinkels, cafés en bars.

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