  What is Perlan?

  Perlan

  Perlan is one of Reykjavík´s most distinctive buildings and sits prominently on Öskuhlið hill overlooking the city. Originally water tanks were located here to store the city´s geothermal hotel water supply. Once it was decided to build a museum here, an enormous glass dome was built upon the original water towers. Now home to a comprehensive museum of Iceland´s Natural wonders, its top floor now houses a rotating cafe and restaurant with great city views.

  Perlan is a wonderful introduction to Iceland and is the perfect place to while away a rainy afternoon. It is located on the eastern edge of the central district and is a 30 minute walk from downtown.
