Thingvellir National Park Visitor Center

Beautiful park with gorgeous scenery. It was all covered with snow when we went which looked stunning. Be careful of some slippery areas on the steps if it's iced over. There a cafe on site too of you want a hot drink plus plenty of toilets.

No wonder Icelanders are so proud of their National Park. Well worth a visit. The paths are easy for walking, walking between two tectonic plates isn't something you get to do very often either. The surrounding mountains are beautiful, the views change around every corner and the little church is stunning. Walking to Oxararfoss was well worth it, we had hired a car so had time to explore, we would have missed the falls had we done a tour. There are excellent facilities, toilets at all the main sights within the park and a very good gift shop and cafe.

Absolutely incredible! Þingvellir National Park is a must-visit in Iceland. The stunning landscapes, from rugged cliffs to crystal-clear waters, are breathtaking. Walking between the tectonic plates and exploring the historical Alþingi site makes it both a natural and cultural treasure. Perfect for hiking, photography, and soaking in Iceland’s unique beauty. Truly unforgettable! 🌿✨

Thingvellir National Park is a true natural wonder and a total paradise for photographers! We spent 3–4 hours exploring, but honestly, we should have dedicated a full day just to soak in the incredible scenery. Right at the entrance, there is a stunning observation deck that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lakes and the rugged park landscape. ​The infrastructure here is excellent; the walkways are perfectly leveled and the use of wooden planks makes it an easy, accessible stroll for everyone. Whether you are there for the geology, the history, or the photos, it is an absolute must-see. Don't rush your visit like we did—give yourself plenty of time to enjoy this Icelandic gem!

See where one of the earth's tectonic plates protrude on land only 2 places in the world are like this. Amazing views panoramic views of nature, wrap up warm it can be very cold. A visitor centre shop and Cafe all on site with toilets that are clean and probably the best view from a loo in the world!

Thingvellir National Park is an absolutely breathtaking place and one of Iceland’s true highlights. The scenery is dramatic and unique, with vast lava fields, deep fissures, and crystal-clear water that make it feel almost otherworldly. Walking between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and incredibly fascinating. The park is also rich in history, being the site of Iceland’s first parliament, which adds real depth and meaning to the visit. Well-maintained paths and viewing platforms make it easy to explore, while the wide open spaces give you a real sense of Iceland’s raw natural power.

I have visited the National Park in late Oct 25 during the transition from autumn to winter. The view is amazing and weather is good. The water in the pond froze into ice gradually and it created a magnificent view under the sun shine.

Beautiful and accessible area of wilderness. We stayed on the main paths and walked around a good amount. It's also possible to take longer homes and camp in the warmer months.
