Everything you need - Worth every penny. It covers all the history and Northern light knowledge, one needs to know in Iceland. We really enjoyed it. If I had known Perlan to be so good then I wouldn't have gone to Aurora Reykjavik centre.

It is a must - This museum is an incredibly interesting place. It offers a deep understanding of nature in Iceland and the surrounding areas. The museum is highly interactive, featuring many engaging videos that allow you to immerse yourself in the experience. It also provides an excellent opportunity to grasp the true meaning of the Northern Lights. A visit here is definitely worth it! P.S.: If you arrive by foot, there's a beautiful path leading to the museum that makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Perlan - Arti to go through the istunellen- recommend warm clothes, fascinating to watch video about the lava eruption, but had misunderstood and thought we would get to see in a demonstration show, but it was not at Perlan at all. Taken a coffee at the top cafe, funny that the seating section went around for a 360° view.
