  We tried to walk in and a security guard knocked on the window and wagged his finger at us

  Nothing remarkable in this building and if you don't know it's the parliament it would be just another building in downtown Reykjavik. The square in front of it is nice.

  It's small understated but so is the country, if you care at all about the culture you should see it if only for a moment

  The Parliament House dates to 1881 but the tradition of a parliamentary representation is a millennium old in Iceland. Those who say democracy cannot survive are wrong. Iceland has had one since AD 930. There are plans for a new parliament building to be constructed west of the existing one. The area around the parliament building should be toured on foot to enjoy the adjacent Austurvöllur Park and nearby cafes.

  If you are doing a city tour per foot, this is worth visiting. There are two nice parks in front and behind this building.

  A quick photo stop outside as you can't enter without prior appointment for tour. The park opposite is the gathering place for Icelandic people, it relaxing to walk around the small park.

  Nice building on the outside with nearby square. Unfortunately we could not get a tour but it's worth emailing them to ask for a tour just before you go.

  Small and simple. Pretty park across the street. The park is more worth a visit then this spot but all of it looks good.

  This is the parliament house and it is worth to take a look at. The building was built in the years 1880-1881. Before it became the parliament house it housed the national library and the national gallery for a short period of time. The house is a little small so next to it there is an additional building. There is one interesting thing about the front of the house, Iceland is an independent country but if you look at the front of house at the top you can see the danish crown and coat of arms.
