The institute can be easily reached by a 10-minute tram ride from the city centre (+ 10 minutes walk). Please note that the entrance is at the back of the building (photo below).
In case of nice weather, the garden reception with bonfire is planned, and in case of rain, the standing reception will be in the Institute lecture room. A show of historic astronomical instruments is also planned.
Note: Institute main dome, housing Zeiss refractor, is currently under renovation, so it is unavailable for visitors.
