You can step inside an ice cave, watch a film about the aurora borealis, and learn about earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, and sea life. The glass-domed building also features a revolving fine-dining restaurant and cocktail bar.

Then you’ll head to the coastline for three great attractions. First up is Hofdi House. It was built in 1909 and had important historical significance as the site of the peace agreement during the Cold War.
Read the information board and wander around the scenic area to see the Hodfi lighthouse.
You’ll come to the Sun Voyager historical landmark further along the coastal path. Here you can marvel at the stainless steel boat sculpture and the beautiful scenery across the harbor.
