The Golden Circle is the classic Iceland circuit — a roughly 300 km loop from Reykjavík that takes in three of Iceland’s most iconic sights in a single day. It’s the perfect introduction to Iceland’s dramatic geology and history.
Start early or late to avoid the crowds — midday is the busiest.
Allow a full day (8–10 hours) to see all three main stops comfortably.
Combine with a stay at a farmhouse guesthouse for a different experience.
Visit Geysir for Strokkur — it erupts roughly every 5–10 minutes.
