About
A free guided visit to the Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa explores the historic observatory, its telescopes, pendulums and clocks used to observe the stars and regulate time. The observatory served as guardian of Portugal's legal time for more than a century. The visit traces how astronomy made it possible to measure and define time through instruments used during the 19th and 20th centuries. Conducted in Portuguese, with no booking required. Entry is via Calçada da Tapada, in Tapada da Ajuda.
