Iceland: What to See & Do: Day Trips: Golden Circle

Golden Circle

This route along the southwest coast passes a “best of” list of Icelandic attractions, including Thingvellir National Park, where you can walk from the North American to the Euroasian tectonic plate, Gullfoss waterfall and the valley of Haukadalur, where you can see active geysers. If you have more time, stop by Skogafoss, another magnificent waterfall, and the nearby Skógar Museum.
