Reykjavik and Golden Circle

Reykjavik area part II
Because we have so much time for our stay in Iceland, we decided to spend some more days exploring Reykjavik and its surroundings: Hallgrimskirkja, Mosfellsbær and Akranes. The old Akranes lighthouse is a particularly recommended place to visit.

​Golden Circle
A very popular tour which is accessible in one single day all year round from Reykjavik is the so-called “Golden Circle''. It includes some of the most famous places on the island: Gullfoss, Faxi, Geysir and Þingvellir. Under normal circumstances, we are not looking first and foremost for popular and often crowded hot spots, but during pandemics we will not miss the chance to enjoy these beauties without a crowd around us. Furthermore, the weather was so beautiful during this day, that the decision to do this tour was absolutely worth it.
