Exploring Reykjavik: The Perlan Museum and Observation Deck

On our 6th day in Iceland, we are about to complete the longest drive of the trip, covering 384 kilometers, almost 5 hours, from Akureyri straight to our hotel in Reykjavik. We decided to skip the attractions in the west of Iceland on the way back - those will have to wait for another visit. On our 7th day in Iceland, our first stop is the Perlan Wonders of Iceland Nature Museum, which requires a ticket for entry. Inside the museum, there are exhibitions like the Northern Lights show, an artificial ice cave, and more... There's also a revolving restaurant, a coffee shop, an ice cream store, and a bar. From the Perlan observation deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the capital, Reykjavik. In the summer in Iceland, we didn't get the chance to visit a real ice cave, but here they have an artificial ice cave exhibition, which offers a taste of what it's like to visit the blue ice caves. Haha 😄 The outdoor observation deck at Perlan offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Reykjavik. The top floor has a semi-circular transparent glass exterior, which actually houses a souvenir shop and a restaurant.
