The Štefánik Observatory

Visit the historic Štefánik Observatory in Petřín Park for public telescope viewings of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars with professional guidance.

Overview

Established in 1928, the Štefánik Observatory is situated in Petřín Park and remains a key destination for public astronomical observation in Prague. Following a significant renovation in the 1970s, the facility provides visitors with access to both historical and modern equipment, including its signature original Zeiss telescope and a high-precision Maksutov Cassegrain mirror telescope. Guests can participate in guided observations of the Moon, planets, and stars in the evenings, or view the Sun during the day, with all sessions led by professional interpreters. Beyond the dome viewings, the observatory hosts permanent exhibitions on astronomy and operates an on-site Astrobistro, making it a functional and educational stop within the park landscape.
