Lonely Planet review for Alþingi

Iceland’s first parliament, the Alþingi, was created at Þingvellir in AD 930. After losing its independence in the 13th century, the country gradually won back its autonomy, and the modern Alþingi moved into the current basalt building in 1881; a stylish glass-and-stone annexe was completed in 2002. You’re welcome to attend sessions when parliament is sitting.
