Cultural & nature tours in Tuscany:
Visit to the Observatory of Libbiano
 

Arianna & Friends organizes half-day cultural tours to the Observatory of Libbiano in the Southern Province of Pisa. For any of these tours you can choose to drive your own car or ask for a personal driver service.

Visit to the astronomical observatory of Libbiano

The new powerful telescope installed in 2006

Tuscany is famous for being a totally unspoiled territory so it is the perfect place to observe the sky at night. In its green hills the local association of astrophiles Astrofili Valdera manages a small but well equipped astronomical observatory with a powerful and advanced telescope. It is possible to take part in one of the meetings that the association organizes and observe stars, planets, nebulas, comets, the moon, the sun etc.. They also organize extremely interesting conferences on astronomical themes. The perfect didactic occasion to learn about the stars during your holidays. The tour we organize includes a visit to the medieval town Peccioli, a dinner in a restaurant in town and the visit to the observatory.
