The Icelandic Parliament building stands in the heart of Reykjavik. The Alþingishúsið was built between 1880 and 1881. Since it’s initial construction, Alþingishúsið, in addition to serving as the house of Parliament, has been used to house a number of key institutions for the Icelandic people – the nation’s leading university, prized antique collections, the president’s offices and even the Icelandic National Gallery.

In 2002, the building was subjected to a thorough restoration and an annexe was added to house additional offices. Today’s Alþingishúsið is open to the public during designated hours. The building itself is easy to identify as it’s made from large hewn blocks of basaltic stone and located in the centre of Reykjavik. Other nearby attractions include the Dómkirkjan Lutheran cathedral, historic Austurvöllur Square, and the modern Ráõhúsiõ, Reykjavik’s glass-and-concrete town hall where visitors will find a café and a massive three-dimensional map of the country.
