Volkssternwarte München

Volkssternwarte München – you won’t simply stumble on this observatory while walking around Munich, because you have to know where to look. Once you find it though, you’re in for a treat. Although Munich is home to a large astronomy collection at the Deutsche Museum and the Supernova Planetarium at Garching, the Volkssternwarte is a unique place, and should not be passed up by space fans in the city. On the roof, you’ll find four permanently set-up telescopes and a series of smaller ones in tripods. All the telescopes have different purposes and are set up for specific targets and observations, allowing visitors to see very different sights when moving between them.
