点评:Perlan is an interesting museum showcasing Iceland’s natural history, geology and wildlife, with an observation deck offering panoramic views across Reykjavík.
We visited as part of a bus tour and unfortunately were allowed only about 40 minutes. This was enough to go up to the observation level and enjoy the views over the city, but nowhere near enough time to properly explore the museum.
What actually caught my attention most were the exhibits we passed on the way through, including displays on Iceland’s geology and wildlife. They looked fascinating and, in hindsight, I would have much preferred spending more time exploring these rather than simply coming for the panoramic view.
There is also a restaurant upstairs beneath the impressive glass dome.
If visiting independently, I would allow at least 2–3 hours and actually experience the museum rather than treating Perlan simply as a Reykjavík viewpoint. I certainly wish we had been given more time.
翻译:佩尔兰是一座别具特色的博物馆,展示了冰岛的自然历史、地质特征以及野生动植物。博物馆还设有一个观景台,可以俯瞰雷克雅未克的全景。
我们是随旅游巴士参观的,可惜只被允许停留约40分钟。这段时间虽足以登上观景台欣赏城市风光,但远远不足以仔细游览整个博物馆。
真正最吸引我注意的,其实是我们在参观途中经过的那些展品。馆内设有关于冰岛地质与野生动物的展览,看起来非常有趣。事后想来,我宁愿花更多时间参观这些展览,也不愿仅仅为了欣赏全景而到此一游。
楼上还有一家餐厅,就坐落在那座壮观的玻璃圆顶之下。
如果是独自游览,我建议至少预留2到3个小时来好好体验这座博物馆,而不应仅仅把它当作雷克雅未克的观景点。我真希望当时我们能有更多时间。
