Golden Circle - Cave Houses - Tomato Farm
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most renowned day tour route, taking visitors through Þingvellir National Park, where the world’s oldest parliament was established in 940. This area is also geologically significant, as it marks the division between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. To offer a more intimate experience away from the usual crowds, the tour ventures into lesser-known areas. A visit to a cave house provides a glimpse into how Icelanders once lived in caves for better insulation and comfort. Þingvellir is revisited from a fresh perspective, including a stop at a cathedral where live music may be heard. The journey also includes dining in a greenhouse at Friðheimar Tomato Farm, where tomato soup, fresh-baked bread, and other local dishes are served in a warm, plant-filled environment.
