Golden Circle Tours with Visit the Nordics

What is the Golden Circle?

The Golden Circle is a popular route located just a short distance from Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik. This famed sightseeing circuit encompasses three of Iceland’s most captivating natural wonders:

  • Þingvellir National Park: This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts dramatic scenery, a unique geological formation, and significant historical value. Þingvellir was the site of the world’s first parliament, the Althing, established in 930 AD. The park is also located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are pulling apart, creating a fascinating rift valley.

  • Geysir Geothermal Area: Witness the raw power of the Earth at Geysir, a geothermal wonderland where geysers erupt with tremendous force, hot springs bubble and steam rises from the ground. Strokkur, the most active geyser in the area, erupts every 5-10 minutes, putting on a spectacular show for visitors.

  • Gullfoss Waterfall: Also known as the “Golden Waterfall,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls. This magnificent cascade plunges 32 meters down a 70-meter wide canyon, with powerful white water cascading at a dizzying speed.
