Visit the Golden Circle in Iceland

The most iconic sightseeing route in Iceland

Discover Iceland’s Golden Circle

Welcome to the Golden Circle! This spectacular sightseeing route is by far the most famous attraction in the Land of Fire and Ice.

Located close to Reykjavik, it is also the most visited region of Iceland.

Three jaw-dropping natural wonders are at the heart of the Golden Circle: Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park (a place of historical and geological significance), Geysir Geothermal Area (with an active geyser erupting every few minutes), and the incredible Gullfoss Waterfall.

But there are also many other activities and optional extras you can combine with your journey around these sights for an even more exciting and unforgettable trip. 

Consider snowmobiling on a glacier or relaxing in the Secret Lagoon geothermal hot spring. Visit the visually striking Kerið volcanic crater lake or head for lunch in the extraordinary tomato greenhouse at Friðheimar.

Browse our tours below, find the best option for you, and discover the exceptional Golden Circle!

Read our blog What is Iceland’s Golden Circle? to learn more about this special region, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
