When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I finally reached northern Iceland<\/strong> on day eight of our big road trip, right at the turn of September and October, it was an incredible relief. The Golden Circle in the south is gorgeous, sure, but to be honest, at the most famous spots you sometimes end up queuing just to take a photo, and it feels less like wilderness and more like a crowded shopping street back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment you cross that invisible line and set off to explore northern Iceland, though, the landscape starts to breathe much more slowly, the roads magically empty out<\/strong>, and nature finally shows you its raw, untamed face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The northern part of the island hides a giant volcanic laboratory<\/strong>, Europe’s mightiest waterfalls, and picturesque bays where a soothing silence reigns. In this article you’ll find 12 tips on what to see and do<\/strong> along the route known in English as the Diamond Circle, and you’ll discover exactly why you shouldn’t skip this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll show you how to put together your itinerary, where to stay smartly, and how much the whole adventure will cost you, including all the changes and updates for 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
