If you feel like doing something different in Oporto, we propose an otherworldly experience. A place that is like a portal that takes you to explore the wonders of the universe from the comfort of the Earth, the Porto Planetarium.

 

The Porto Planetarium building, designed by architect José Manuel Soares, and opened to the public on 24 November 1998, has a giant dome that simulates the night sky, with thousands of stars shining above you. It is as if you were transported to another world, where you can discover constellations, learn about distant planets and marvel at the immensity of the cosmos.

 

But Porto Planetarium is not just a place to observe the sky; it is also an interactive learning centre where you can immerse yourself in science in a fun and exciting way. From 3D projections to interactive exhibits, there's something for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest and most curious.

 

Best of all, you can do all this while feeling right at home. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a day of discovery with family or friends. So leave your worries at the door and get ready to embark on an epic journey through the cosmos.

 

Are you ready to take off to the stars? Then don't wait any longer and visit the Porto Planetarium.
