Traditional Savory Dishes
Roast lamb
Roast lamb from Thingvellir is renowned for its delicate, gamey flavor, because sheep roam freely on mineral-rich pastures and wild herbs, producing exceptionally tender meat traditionally served at communal feasts.
Plokkfiskur
Plokkfiskur is a hearty mash of boiled fish, potatoes, and onions bound with a creamy sauce, originally made to use leftover cod and now beloved as Icelandic comfort food.
Traditional Beverages
Brennivín
Brennivín is a caraway-spiced spirit nicknamed Black Death, it is Iceland's signature schnapps and is traditionally sipped with strong local foods like fermented shark.
Beer
Beer was illegal in Iceland until 1989, and since its return brewers have used pure glacier water and local ingredients to craft distinctive beers that are now popular at Thingvellir gatherings.

Avoid buying lunch at the site, stop in Selfoss on the way for cheaper cafes and a supermarket to stock sandwiches.
Public buses from Reykjavik are slow and rigid, rent a car or join a small minivan tour if you want sunrise timing and flexibility.
Park at the visitor center lot early, the lower parking fills fast. Walk the marked trails to protect the moss, fines exist.
Worth the drive, but expect lots of tourists in summer. I loved the rift views, little cafes nearby are pricey.
Incredible landscape, sky changes every five minutes, bring layers and plan at least half a day to absorb it.
Getting there
Train stations
N/A — Iceland has no passenger rail network.
Best options: rent a car or take a scheduled shuttle/tour from Reykjavík; expect winter road conditions.
