The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland, located near the capital city of Reykjavik. The route includes three main attractions: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss waterfall.
Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the location where the Icelandic parliament, Althingi, was established in 930 AD. Visitors can walk through the park, see the rift valley created by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and visit the historic parliament site.
Geysir is a geothermal area with hot springs and geysers. The most famous geyser, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes, shooting water up to 30 meters in the air.
Gullfoss waterfall is a stunning two-tiered waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river. Visitors can walk down to the waterfall and feel the mist on their faces.
The Golden Circle is easily accessible by car or tour bus from Reykjavik. Admission to the attractions varies, but a typical cost for a tour is around 10,000 ISK (approximately $80 USD) per person. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is milder and the days are longer.
