I definitely get why most reviews are mentioning how scenic this is, but in my trip this was the one location that just didn't amaze - I strongly recommend renting a car and getting off of the Golden Circle.This area is also drowning in tourists, even in winter, so compared to other areas where you won't see a soul for miles, it definitely took me out of the experience.Next, keep in mind that there aren't any buildings for where parliament was - they've long since decayed. All you really see is some mounds of green where things used to be.

We visited the Thingvellir national park on a trip with Reyjavik excursions during the Golden circle tour. Our guide was very informative and told us about the North American and European continental plates which are parting by 2cm per year. We walked along the ridge from the bottom to the car park at the top. The path itself at the bottom was very icy. You can see the canyon and the break where the plates are pulling apart. There is a great viewing platform where you can see a beautiful church and a very clear lake. You can see for miles.The area is stunning even in the winter. There are many great photo opportunities.We visited in February and it was very cold so do take many layers of clothes and wrap up warm if visiting in the winter.This is a world hertitage site. This is where Icelands first parlement was formed.There are toilets at the top but these are chargeable.We would definatley be returning to see what it is like in the summer.

While I do believe one should stop and spend a short amount of time here, keep in mind that you will likely have a rather full day trying to do everything on the Golden Circle tour. Spending additional time here cost me a chance to see Gullfoss when the weather turned quite violent (I still made it to Gullfoss but couldnt physically get near the falls due to extremely terrible conditions). I wonder if my time was better spent getting to the falls earlier in the day and hitting this location on the way back. We parked at the visitor center and walked the trail down and eventually crossed the river and took several pictures. The vies were nice but like most of our trip, they were limited due to clouds and conditions. I probably should have hiked further to the Oxarafoss, but we were concerned with time. Take a lot of pictures and enjoy the history of the area and being in one of the areas in Iceland where Europe and North America meet.

Take the time to explore around and see the waterfalls and by the lake. Beautiful - a shame if you just stopped and rushed on...

Fabulous trip as part of a classic Golden Circle tour. Just enough time to see around and walk through history shielded from the wind by fissures created from tectonic plates crashing together. No man's land - not in North America or Europe. Stunning scenery, highly recommended
