Day 2 The Golden Circle
Map
After breakfast we meet our local driver guide for a full day tour along the famous Golden Circle. We visit Þingvellir National Park, where the world’s oldest parliament was founded and where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. We continue to the geothermally active Geysir area, where Strokkur erupts at regular intervals. The day concludes at the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, plunging into a deep canyon. We return to Reykjavik in the late afternoon and the evening is at leisure.
Day 3 Reykjavik with Guided City Walk
Map
In the morning we meet our guide for a walking tour of Reykjavik. The city takes its name from the steam pillars of hot springs that once rose here and still do within the city limits.
Reykjavik is home to about half of Iceland's roughly 300,000 inhabitants and is both Europe's northernmost and westernmost capital. The area has been inhabited since the 9th century, although much of the city was built in the 20th century. Highlights include the National Museum, Hallgrímskirkja, and the Árni Magnússon Institute. Reykjavik also hosted the legendary 1972 chess match between American Bobby Fischer and the Soviet champion Boris Spassky.
