The Cyprus Planetarium

Explore the wonders of space at The Cyprus Planetarium, one of the largest planetariums in the Eastern Mediterranean. Located in Episkopio, just outside Nicosia, this modern science attraction combines immersive astronomy shows, interactive technology and hands-on experiences for visitors of different ages. The main attraction is the 360° dome theatre, where spectacular projections take you on journeys through the Solar System, distant galaxies, the history of space exploration and the mysteries of the Universe. Beyond the dome, visitors can try virtual reality experiences, explore interactive games, experience an astronaut-style gyroscope and discover astronomy through educational activities. The planetarium also offers opportunities to observe the Sun safely through a specialised solar telescope and to explore the night sky during organised stargazing sessions. After your visit, you can stop at the Planet Café or Lunar Restaurant for refreshments or a meal. It is a good destination for families, curious minds, science enthusiasts and anyone looking for an educational activity that feels different from a traditional museum.
