More than just a place for stargazing, the observatory is a lively centre for learning and sharing. It promotes astronomical, educational and cultural experiences that combine scientific knowledge with the natural beauty of the region.
Its activities include guided observations, immersive projections, workshops for schools, families and curious travellers, always with a strong connection to sustainability and enhancing the value of the mountain region.
The observatory is currently undergoing a new phase of expansion, which includes the installation of a permanent planetarium, the creation of interpretive trails, and integration with the Serra da Estrela scientific and ecological tourism network.
Visiting Travancinha is like seeing the sky with new eyes — a journey between Earth and the Cosmos, where each star tells a story.
Because the sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning!
