When discovering Iceland, the Golden Circle is the go-to route for most travellers. Covering a loop of roughly 300 kilometres, it has some amazing sites to see. But there’s so much more to discover in Iceland, even in Reykjavik itself. So here are eight of Iceland’s highlights outside the Golden Circle.
1. Hofdi House
Located on the picturesque waterfront of northern Reykjavik, this beautiful historic building has stood for over 100 years. Originally the French consul, it’s most famously known for hosting the 1986 summit meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbatsjov which marked the end of the Cold War.
It’s said to have one of the most photographed door knobs in history, as hundreds of photographers waited for it to turn. Now the building itself is an iconic image of Iceland – perfect for a photo stop.
