Goðafoss is one of Iceland's most iconic and breathtaking natural treasures, located in the northeast of the country. It gets its name from a defining moment in Icelandic history, where a chieftain threw idols of the Old Gods from his home into the falls to symbolize his decision to convert the nation to Christianity. You can see it from both sides and from one side (the east one) you can even walk all the way down to it. Definitely one of my favourites.

QUICK NOTES:

• What it is: One of the most iconic waterfalls in Iceland.

• Best season: Any.

• Best time of day: Any.

• Nice to know: You can see it from both sides. If you go to the east side (left when looking at it), make sure you take the stairs down to and walk all the way to it.
