Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is where Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and deep-rooted history come together in a journey filled with awe and discovery.

Thingvellir National Park sets the stage—a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Earth itself is in motion. Here, you’ll stand between two continents in the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge rises above the surface, forming a vast rift valley. Crystal-clear glacial water, filtered for decades through volcanic rock, fills these fissures, creating Silfra—one of the clearest bodies of water on Earth, with visibility reaching up to 120 meters. But Thingvellir is more than geological wonder; it’s the birthplace of Iceland’s identity. In 930 AD, the world’s first parliament, Althing, was founded here—a place where Viking chieftains once gathered under open skies to shape the nation’s future.

Next, the earth rumbles beneath your feet at the Geysir geothermal area, where the restless Strokkur geyser hurls scalding water into the sky every few minutes. Its name, meaning “the butter churn,” hints at the raw, untamed energy bubbling just beneath the surface. While the original Great Geysir now rests, Strokkur ensures the landscape remains alive with motion and anticipation.

Then comes Gullfoss, a waterfall that is less a sight and more an experience. Here, glacial meltwater from Langjökull Glacier plunges into a deep canyon, sending up mist that catches the sunlight in a shimmering arc. The power of the falls is humbling, the sound a steady, thundering heartbeat of Iceland’s wilderness.

Taste the famous Tomato Soup

Nestled in the heart of Iceland’s stunning countryside, Friðheimar Greenhouse offers an unforgettable insight into the art of sustainable farming. Here, innovative geothermal technology allows for the year-round cultivation of the most flavorful tomatoes, despite Iceland’s harsh climate.

On your visit, you’ll learn about the cutting-edge techniques used to grow these exceptional tomatoes, such as harnessing green energy and pure spring water. The greenhouses are powered by renewable resources, and even the tomatoes are pollinated by dedicated bumblebees, contributing to their rich taste and quality.

Take a seat in the cozy greenhouse restaurant, where you’ll enjoy an extraordinary meal surrounded by the lush plants. The menu features a variety of dishes made with the freshest tomatoes grown on-site, including their famous tomato soup, served with freshly baked bread – a true highlight of this unique location.

Friðheimar also offers a glimpse into Icelandic culture with a visit to the stable, where you can meet the iconic Icelandic horses. Whether you’re savoring a meal or learning about sustainable farming, Friðheimar provides a one-of-a-kind experience that connects you to the land, the produce, and the people.
