Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, and when you see it, you’ll get why. 💦 This isn’t just a regular waterfall — it’s a massive two-tiered cascade that plunges into a rugged canyon with so much force that the mist creates rainbows on sunny days. 🌈 It’s seriously powerful, and the sound of all that rushing water is next-level dramatic.

The name means “Golden Falls,” and legend has it that on a sunny day, the water looks golden in the light. But even if it’s cloudy (because let’s be real, Iceland weather), it’s still jaw-dropping.

There’s an upper viewing platform where you can see the waterfall from above, and a lower path that gets you super close to the edge — and yes, you will get soaked from the spray. Bring a rain jacket and your camera because this spot? Absolute showstopper. 😍
