Přehled
The Štefánik Observatory, located atop Petřín Park, serves as a gateway to the cosmos for Prague visitors. Since 1928, this site has provided a unique vantage point, featuring a mix of historic charm and modern optics. Visitors are encouraged to explore the permanent exhibition before joining a guided session at the telescopes. Whether you are observing sunspots through the specialized equipment during the day or turning your attention to galaxies and nebulae in the evening, the professional staff provides insight that turns a simple look through a lens into a deeper understanding of the night sky. The building itself reflects a substantial reconstruction from the 1970s and remains a key landmark within the city's green space, where you can easily combine your visit with a walk through the park and a stop at the on-site Astrobistro.
