Gullfoss

Halló, this is Iceland on the Foursquare. Welcome to my Gullfoss. It's a very good waterfall with a lot of water. It is falling for you, so please pay attention to it.

A great spot to witness the pure power of this magnificent waterfall . Free wifi at the cafe on the hill . Be sure to wear warm sturdy boots going up those steps though! Enjoy

Tom Coates

It's just absolutely stunning - pure fantasy adventure, implausibly constructed , amazing place. I went on a pretty grey day and stuff felt overwhemed by its size. 100% worthwhile.

Darryl Ellson

Amazing waterfalls . Be careful in winter as the paths can be sure slippy especially when there's rain or a thaw after the snow.

Victoria Timashova

Unreal place

Mu-An ????

Hunt the rainbow , get the lamb soup , and then spend some time to watch people ignore the road closed sign. http://grapevine.is/news/2016/03/06/dangerous-tourist-behavior-at-gullfoss/

I had goose bumps approaching the magnificent golden waterfall . Majestic, overwhelming, and utterly beautiful. Mother Nature at her best. Do not miss it.

Majed Alashari

The most beautiful waterfall in Iceland . Big and amazing with many view and photo spots to take photos. There are two parking slot and there is a cafe to enjoy a coffee or tea .

Noura Sayed

AH - MAZING! Walk down to the waterfall for great pics & a chance to spot multiple rainbows !

Peter

Impressive waterfall . Go all the way to the end near the river (and even a bit further). Scary for some but absolutely breathtaking . Arrive early and absorb the massive power all by yourself.

Thiago Maia

Wow. It is amazing. Make sure you go in the winter as the snow and ice make the landscape amazing

BestTraveller

Amazing !!! Cold is not a correct Word to describe weather. There are two ravens flying. Visit for free. You can climb the other Side of the fall

Sharon Lee

It is one of the amazing waterfalls I have been visited. Great view from any angles. Make sure to stop by its cafe for the unlimited soup refill!

Julia Hoyer

Very pretty !! A huuuge waterfall and a must see … go downstairs and get closer getting wet a “little” ! It’s amazing

Maggie MacG

This is one of the most amazing spots I visited in Iceland! Breathtaking !

Dan Castellano

Other worldly view of the falls here and overlook the vast expanse that surrounds them, might even get lucky and spot a rainbow

Tim F

If you just want to check out the falls (and not the building with food, souvenirs, and restrooms ) there is a lower level parking lot very close to the lower viewing platform .

Beautiful waterfall , one of the nicest in Iceland. Worth a visit

PNR SHN

Amazing waterfall .Beatiful view ,thrilling,enthusiastic is flowing..Don't miss it.You will not regret????

Tina Gotthardt

Saying to ignore the signs is just downright ignorant. If everyone does it, places like this will be closed completely. Don't be a tour-idiot and act responsibly!

Leonidas M.

For me the most important attraction of the golden circle along with geysir. Too cold and slippery. Take a lot of pics.

Ville Vihermaa

Definetely worth a visit! Remember to take also video; it's better for reminiscence.

Maggie MacG

Simply incredible! Well worth the drive!

Timo H

Make your to have your rain jacket with you, it might get wet when you follow the footpath on top. Yes, it's a little touristy , but still haunting.

Nur Öksüz Aydın

One of the biggest waterfalls in Europe. It has beautiful scenery .

Hendy Ongkodjojo

Beautiful and when you visit in winter (take care of slippery icy path), part of the waterfall is frozen. Amazing.

Murat

A must see tourist attraction . It seems to be better in winter than summer. A stunning view !

Touristy , but not to be missed. Every foss is unique and worth the visit! Large gift shop too.

Breath taking, spectacular. You *have* to visit this amazing waterfall .

Beautiful landscape, amazing waterfall . Definitely worth the visit

Stuart Littlewood

Iceland’s most famous waterfall , Gullfoss is a spectacular double cascade dropping a dramatic 32m

Take a walk to the far side of the falls to get a different view !

Breathtaking , you will get a bit wet but worth it! Power of nature in full force

Robert Ben

There is an idiot on here who calls himself Tom L. He is saying that you should ignore the warning signs at Gullfoss. This is such bullshit and can be deadly so do NOT do it. Tom, you are a fool.

Lauren Souch

The boardwalk can get quite slippery even when there's not yet snow - watch your step or stick to the rocks!

Bryce

Head up river to the end of the path, jump the fence or take the ladder, cross the frozen stream and head to the rock piles for another great vantage point.
