Astronomical Center Rijeka — Attraction in Grad Rijeka

We tried to see the observatory for a few years in a row during our stay in Rijeka, but it is always closed. We finally managed to visit this Wednesday, getting the information is quite confusing and unclear. We had to wait until 22:00 to see if the weather would stay good and if the observatory would open. We went to see a movie in the planetarium while we waited for 10PM, and it's only in Croatian, which wasn't explained to us, and for a 40 minute movie, it's a bit pricey. Tickets for the observatory are really good value, we had a chance to look at stars, star clusters, Mars, and the Moon, which was absolutely amazing, it was really worth the wait and I'm so glad we finally got the chance to visit after so many failed attempts. I managed to get a photo with my phone camera through the telescope and I am delighted with it.

I would kindly suggest the management to update their information clearly in the planetarium and on their website with detailed information and explanations...

Astronomical Center Rijeka is a great site for something more than regular tourism. It was renewed in 2009 on the base of WW2 fort.

We visited during Covid 19 restrictions and the astronomical part is actually close. You can only see some video(only croatian) so it was more a bar than an astronomy place. Inside is...
