As you tread the Parque Tres de Febrero in Palermo, you will catch sight of a structure that looks suspiciously like a UFO. As you approach cautiously, your trepidation will be replaced by awe. A symbol of architectural expression, math lovers will be delighted to know that the building is one of the rare ones designed and constructed based on an equilateral triangle. As you enter, a collection of 100-million-year-old sea life and aconite fossils will greet you, along with a fascinating meteorite that the Apollo XI mission brought back to the Earth.

Of course, the main attraction of the Planetario Galileo Galilei is its 20m dome with seats that you can settle on in comfort and recline to gaze at the projections of the twinkling wonders of the galaxy, from starts to planets. If you’re outside, looking on at the dome at night, you will be treated to the breathtaking sight of the glowing dome, its colours reflected in the clear waters of the lake outside the planetarium. Aspiring astrologists, this is one place you can’t miss!
