Visit SRT
Since 2011, even before its inauguration, the Sardinia Radio Telescope has periodically opened for public and school visits.
The visit is free and includes an indoor explanation at our Visitor Center, followed, weather permitting, by an outdoor walk where you can admire the telescope up close. Entry into the radio telescope or its use for observations is not allowed under any circumstances.
The visit lasts about an hour and a half and is conducted by researchers, technicians, and communicators from the Astronomical Observatory of
Cagliari, who can explain the project and all related curiosities.
For organizational, transparency, and data management reasons, it is NOT possible to book visits via email or phone. The only way to book is by filling out the appropriate form available at the following link, where you can easily find the currently available dates:
