Golden Circle
Iceland's most famous day-trip route connects three iconic sites within 230 km of Reykjavík: Þingvellir National Park (tectonic rift valley), Geysir geothermal area (home of Strokkur), and Gullfoss waterfall. The roads are paved and well-maintained year-round, making this an easy self-drive from the capital.
