Lonely Planet review for Planetário
Gávea’s stellar attraction, the Planetário features a museum, a praça dos telescópios (plaza of telescopes) and two state-of-the-art operating domes, each capable of projecting over 6000 stars on its walls. Visitors can also take a peak at the night sky (free) through the telescopes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30pm to 8:30pm (6:30pm to 7:30pm in winter). Periodically, the Planetário hosts live Sunday concerts.
