DAY 1
Despite a population of just 330,000 people, Iceland is fast becoming one of northern Europe's big travel destinations. That's because it's simply an extraordinary place. For travelers after out-of-the-ordinary experiences, its ethereal landscapes, smoldering volcanoes and thermal baths are a true mecca. The Golden Circle is the country's classic tourist route, looping from the capital Reykjavik through Thingvellir National Park and on to the iconic Gullfoss waterfall and the geysers of Strokkur and Geysir. Route 1, covering over 800 miles, skirts the country's coastline, providing the perfect opportunity to get off the more well-trodden trail and see the island's empty spaces in all their glory.
