I think Gullfoss (the “Golden Falls”) is the most beautiful stop on the Golden Circle. It’s incredibly spectacular—glacial meltwater creates a rainbow in the sunlight. The waterfall drops in two tiers with a total height of about 32 meters. When the sunlight hits, it glows with a golden hue, and the mist feels almost magical.
