Þingvellir National Park

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National park covers a large area in the south west of Iceland. It boasts a stunning nature as well as a rich history, both of which cementing it as one of the “must see” areas in Iceland. The world's first parliament was also formed here back in 930 AD and sessions continued to be held right up to 1798.

Geysir

The Great Geysir is a geyser in Iceland that was the first of its kind to be mentioned in print in Europe. As a result the English words “Geyser” actually derives from the name Geysir. Geysir itself is no longer able to produce an eruption without assistance, its sister geyser Strokkur still erupts every 5-10 minutes.

Gullfoss

Gullfoss, the golden waterfall, is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. It gets its name from the minerals in its current that produce a golden hue as the water cascades down its 31 meter drop.

It is fed by the mighty Hvítá (White) river which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, the Langjökull.

Fontana Spa

Operating since 1920, the fontana spa is a geothermal steam bath where you can go to relax and be pampered. More than just a spa though they also bake rye bread at this location by placing it into bags and cooking it through the day in the hot water.
