Lindin
Restaurant
👍👍 An exceptional restaurant nestled close to the geysers offers a delightful dining experience with its scenic outside area showcasing captivating mountain views. During my visit, I chose the fish duo and was pleased with the overall taste. While the cod tended to be slightly drier than its counterpar...

The Cave People - Laugarvatnshellar
Museum
👍👍 My husband and I experienced “The Cave People” just after New Year’s Day 2022 and I would highly recommend the experience. We were staying in a rather remote place near Thingvellir National Park where interesting, “geeky” educational experiences (which is what we like to do when traveling) were not...

Árbakki Farmhouse Lodge - 16/7
Farmstay
👍👍 One of our favourite stays during our 2 week trip in Iceland! Clean, homey, and not only is breakfast provided (with WARM buns, freshly boiled eggs, and more), but the kitchen can be used to cook your own dinner as well. Great location for driving around the Golden Circle or as a starting point to L...

Hot Spring - Bake bread in the ground
Tourist attraction
👍 The tour for geothermal bread baking can be bought from Laugarvatn Fontana just a few minutes walk from the beach. Else, the area is free to visit.
The pools of water were bubbling at the beach and hot sulfuric steam clouds the area. At the water tank, the water was at boiling point. The water clos...

Björk Guesthouse
Guest house
😐 Simple, clean rooms in a building along the main road. Access is via a key code that you receive from the proprietor (make sure you have a code before check in). There’s an electric kettle and some tea in the room, as well as a mini fridge. My room had a bit of a smell but opening the windows seemed...

Vígðalaug
Historical landmark
👍 If you are interested in history, especially in the history of Christianity, you should go there. It's the place where they baptized people a thousand years ago! Wow! It is NOT for bathing nowadays, just a place of historic interest, with a fence around it. If you want to swim, do so in the lake. It...

Laugarvatn-Camping
Campground
👍 Pretty basic campsite but the showers are free and always hot and so is the washing-up water, which is rarer. Amazing location right in the middle of the Golden Circle and probably with lake views if it's less cloudy than when I was there.

Samkaup strax
Grocery store
😠 BEWAWRE OF EXPIRED PRODUCTS
We went into this station to grab a few things for dinner. Most were alright, but one of the items they sold us - a fresh juice bottle - had expired in 2006, 14 years ago!
I don't think this was an isolated incident, as many other people have complained about expired p...
