3. Welcome to the Geysir Geothermal Area, one of Iceland’s most famous natural attractions. Although the original Geysir is mostly inactive today, it gave its name to all geysers around the world. The main attraction here is Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, sending hot water up to 20–30 meters into the air. This geothermal area is powered by Iceland’s volcanic activity beneath the ground. Please stay on the marked paths, as the water is extremely hot.

4. This is Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most famous and powerful waterfalls. It is fed by the Hvítá River, which comes from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. The waterfall has two dramatic drops, creating an impressive canyon and often producing beautiful rainbows on sunny days. Gullfoss means “Golden Falls,” and it is one of the highlights of the Golden Circle tour.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
