  • Around 10 euros each just to get to the observation deck as a tourist is a costly business and this is why rating is 4, not 5. Place itself is superb!

  • Incredibly well done, multilevel museum, restaurants and demo shows for Iceland. A visit here should be first day visit for everyone. You can take the 18 city buss for 500 krona each, out and back.

  • This is a great place to see a 360 degree view of Reykjavik. The inside has an ice cave tour and gift shop and viewing show of the northern lights and an observation deck where you can have a drink and a bite to eat while enjoying the city view in the revolving restaurant!
  • Really fascinating museum - we spent most of our day here! There was loads to see and it was a great place to learn more about Iceland. The Aurora show and Ice Cave were incredible. It was also fascinating to get a glimpse of the eruption in the volcano show. The food at the restaurant was also great and the view was spectacular. Perlan is a must-see when you're visiting Reykjavik!
