Our visit to the Greenwich Observatory was really enjoyable. The only thing I would have preferred is if they sold one pair of solar eclipse glasses per person rather than one per family. ☺️ I definitely recommend the visit!

A wonderful talk by a former ship captain telling the extraodinary journey of John Harrison. Inspiration and told with passion - really made the day memorable for me.

Interessante la visita al Cutty Sark, ma andare all'Osservatorio astronomico è affascinante, soprattutto la vista che si gode dall'alto. E poi vale la pena arrivarci con il battello navigando sul Tamigi

L'osservatorio di Greenwich è un must che non si può trovare da nessun'altra parte del mondo! 4 stelle su 5 solo perché la parte più dedicata all'astronomia purtroppo è chiusa fino al 2027.
