Belgrade Planetarium

About

The Belgrade Planetarium, operated by the Astronomical Society Ruđer Bošković, is a captivating gateway to the cosmos located within the historic Lower Town of the Belgrade Fortress. Originally built as a Turkish bath in the 19th century, the building was transformed into a planetarium in the late 1960s, preserving its architectural charm while embracing a new scientific purpose. Inside, visitors are immersed in a 360-degree audiovisual experience that explores the mysteries of the universe—from the birth of stars and the Big Bang to the constellations above and the depths of the ocean below. The dome’s projections blend education and wonder, making astronomy accessible to all ages. With seating for 80 and regular shows led by expert astronomers, the planetarium offers a unique blend of heritage and discovery. It stands as a testament to Belgrade’s commitment to science education, inviting guests to sail among the stars in one of the city’s most atmospheric cultural venues.
