It's best to book ahead, particularly for evening and summer slots, and you should plan on two to three hours. The lagoon is a short drive or bus ride from central Reykjavík, which makes it a convenient alternative to the Blue Lagoon, especially if you are not heading toward the airport. Sunset sessions are especially atmospheric.
The beach was created in 2000 by pumping geothermal water into a lagoon and adding golden shell sand, so that the temperature is far warmer than the surrounding North Atlantic. The geothermal heating is produced by the city's hot water network. It is a fine example of how Reykjavík uses its geothermal resources for leisure as well as heating.
Perlan sits on top of Öskjuhlíð hill, crowned with a shimmering glass dome built on six giant hot water tanks. Inside, the museum explores Iceland's natural wonders with interactive exhibits, a planetarium and a real indoor ice cave. A viewing deck wraps around the dome, giving wide views over Reykjavík, the sea and the mountains.
