1. Here you do not only get to stand on the ground where the oldest legislative parliament was established in the world at 930 because this is also the best place in the world to study divergent plate boundry. The landscape is breathtaking and the history is no less interesting.

2. The famous Geysir that all hot springs in the world are named after does not spout anymore. It did in the year 2000 due to earthquakes and then again 2016. The whole area is boiling and steaming from geothermal activity so make sure you follow the restricting walking trails. How ever Strokkur is the new Geysir and it spouts every 4-10 min and is quite impressive.

3. Gullfoss (Golden waterfall) is a 32m two cascade waterfall that falls in to the river Hvítá. The waterfall is one of the most famous waterfall in Iceland probably for the fact it was almost sold to an English man back in the time, but a young woman fought hard to keep it. You get to walk very close to the fall and perhaps see a rainbow decorating it.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik är världens nordligaste huvudstad, en färgstark, kompakt stad av konst och musik som öppnar sig mot Islands vulkaniska landskap.

Hallgrímskirkja, vars torn är inspirerat av basaltpelare, reser sig över gator med klart målade hus. Nere vid hamnen skimrar konserthuset Harpa med sin glasfasad över vattnet, och skulpturen Solfararen blickar mot havet och berget Esja. Laugavegur, huvudgatan för shopping, kantas av designbutiker, caféer och barer.
