Þingvellir National Park, Reykjavik

This was an incredible place with wonderful history and beautiful natural scenery. I went is late April so the grass was still dead but the waterfalls and crystal clear streams and pools were breathtaking. The continental split between the European plate and the North American plate is truly a sight to behold. The walking paths around the park and the road in and out are all worth the trip from Reykjavik and all together it is a place unlike anything else in the world that I have ever seen. It is the sight of the oldest continuous democracy in the world. The Icelanders call it the Allthing. There are signs indicating various historical events and traditions that took place there. With over 1000 years of history taking place there it is loaded with interesting lore. It is not too far from the Geysir national park and Gullfoss a magnificent waterfall making it part of the famous Golden Circle, a must see sight in Iceland. Anyone interested in nature and/or history will enjoy this locale. It is completely free to go and walk around but they do offer various tours and activities for various rates.
