Lonely Planet review for Štefánik Observatory

Just south of the funicular’s top station is this ‘people’s observatory’, opened in 1928 to further public awareness of astronomy and other sciences. There are exhibitions on astronomy, but the main attraction is the double Zeiss astrograph telescope, which also dates from 1928 and allows observation of the sun and sunspots. On clear nights you can observe the moon, stars and planets.
