Summer Tour of the Old Observatory
During the summer holidays, special guided English tours of the Old Observatory are organized every Wednesday. These tours delve deeper into the history of the building and offer the opportunity to learn more about astronomy.
Under the guidance of an Astronomy student, you will discover the historic telescopes, something you can usually only do during a private tour or open day, and hear stories about famous scientists such as Einstein and Lorentz. Weather permitting, there is even the opportunity to look through the telescopes yourself.
The tour lasts approximately one hour.
Where do I need to be? The tour starts at the Plants & Planets visitor center. Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes before the start of the tour.
Participation: €10 plus Hortus entrance (Museum Card free Hortus entrance). Advance registration required.
