We went on a tour and Thingvellir National Park was our last stop. I enjoyed this place but I believe our tour guides were tired because they didn’t say much about it they just dropped us off here... more »

Beautiful park! We went in winter, so some areas were closed off but even in winter you can easily spend the day here. You can walk across the continental planes and there are many trails to explore. more »

It was beautiful went last week which meant it was all snowy. A bunch of us just a had a massive snowball fight which was very fun. It was very peaceful and nice to take in. Would recommend some kind of foot gear if you go in winter time though. It was VERY slippy!

As with any tourist location, the numbers were a little overwhelming, but that was probably due in a large part to the tours. The site offered free toilets, a cafe & gift shop, and then the ability to walk along several km of routes at this location of great history, and the border of the European and American plate. It looked wonderful in the snow, and I personally look forward to returning, perhaps with a rental car, during the summer or autumn months to see it in a different condition.
