Iceland's Iconic Golden Circle Tour

The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland that includes three major attractions: Þingvellir National Park, the Strokkur Geysir, and the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall. This circular route is conveniently located near the capital city of Reykjavik, making it an easy trip for both self-drive adventures and local tours. Þingvellir National Park holds a special place in Iceland's history as the site of the world's oldest parliament, founded in 930 AD and active until 1798. It's a testament to the country's rich historical tapestry and is highly regarded by Icelanders. The park's geographical features are just as impressive as its history. Located at the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, the area is a hotbed of volcanic activity. The plates are drifting apart at a rate of two centimeters per year, allowing the park to continuously grow. Visitors are drawn to the unique opportunity to snorkel in the fissures, swimming in pollution-free glacial water while experiencing the literal divide between the continents of America and Europe.
