Stockholm Observatory

Filed under: Stuff

Sorry about the lack of posting lately, I’m in a bit of a slump. I got a couple of nice topics to blog from people who completed the tree quiz, so expect that up sometime … soonish.

In the meantime, if you happen to be a Stockholmer or visiting for whatever reason, I can recommend a visit to the old Observatory, where you for the measly sum of 50kr (bring cash!) can get a guided tour of the building - and of the history of Swedish astronomy. Their opening hours are a bit limited - a few hours on sundays, and during the darker months, tuesday and thursday evenings (with stargazing!).

It’s a nice building with a fascinating history, filled with peculiar old instruments and topped with a telescope. What’s not to like?
