The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in South Iceland, looping out of Reykjavík to central Iceland and back to Reykjavík.
The three primary stops on the route are Þingvellir, Gullfoss, and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur. Þingvellir is a national park containing both historical and natural beauties. Gullfoss, meaning golden falls, is a spectacular waterfall that is a must see. The two grand geysers, Strokkur and Geysir are both spectacles to watch.
