Your day starts with a journey through scenic landscapes and mountain tracks, with stops at iconic sites like Þingvellir National Park, where the tectonic plates meet. From there, visit the famous Geysir area, where Strokkur erupts up to 25 metres, before heading to Gullfoss waterfall.

Most visitors explore the Golden Circle while staying in Reykjavík. As the city is such a short distance away—and as it boasts a range of high-quality accommodation—it might be the best option for you too.
There are opportunities for walking at each of the destinations in the Golden Circle. And while you don’t have to walk too much if you don’t feel up to it, a little bit of walking is to be expected.
For example, at Gullfoss, you’ll need to walk for about 10 minutes from the carpark to reach the waterfalls. You’ll have to walk for a few hundred metres to reach Geysir too.
At Þingvellir, you can walk as far or little as you like, but you’ll need to go further than at the other sights. For example, the main highlights can be covered in a 40 minute walk. But if you want to see more, a longer walk takes about an hour and a half.
The most famous sights on the Golden Circle are Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Geysir—a trio of true natural wonders. However, there’s a lot more to see if you put the time aside.
For example, there’s Friðheimar greenhouse and restaurant, an innovative agricultural project serving up incredible locally grown cuisine. Or there’s Sólheimar, the eco-village and artistic community.
Don’t miss other sights, such as Kerið crater, the stunning bowl with a lake in the bottom. The Langjökull glacier is another great place to see while you’re on the Golden Circle route too. Many people explore on a snowmobile or monster truck.
While they’re not technically on the Golden Circle, make sure you visit the Sky Lagoon or the Blue Lagoon too.
The journey to the Golden Circle from Reykjavík takes about an hour. But you should also expect some travel between sights.
Overall, the Golden Circle route is about 230 kilometres (140 miles), between Þingvellir, Gullfoss, and Geysir. You will be travelling for a minimum of three hours.
