Perlan Reykjavik Iceland

Perlan – Wonders of Iceland

Perlan is one of Reykjavík’s top attractions and Iceland’s largest nature museum, offering a captivating journey through the country’s natural wonders and the geological forces that shaped this stunning island.

Through interactive displays, immersive experiences, and cutting-edge technology, Iceland’s natural beauty comes alive, making the experience both engaging and educational for visitors of all ages.

Perlan’s main highlights include an authentic indoor Ice Cave made from real snow and ice, a Northern Lights show in the Planetarium, and a Lava film. You can also explore the Latrabjarg Cliff—a ten-meter-high replica of one of Europe’s most significant seabird cliffs, complete with lifelike bird models.

The building is set atop Reykjavík’s highest hill in Oskjuhlid and features a magnificent glass dome supported by six geothermal water tanks. Four of these remain in use, while one houses the Ice Cave, and another has been transformed into a state-of-the-art planetarium.
