Round trip October 2022 - Golden Circle area (Area A)

This area covers most of the must-sees in Iceland with relatively short distances between each of them. If you do not have a lot of time or travel on a budget, we recommend only visiting this area. There are also a lot of bus tours available that take you around the Golden Circle within 2-5 days. We preferred visiting it in our own pace and spent the whole first week of our journey there.
