Kepler’s Prague:
Music of the spheres
Discover the legacy of Kepler and Brahe in Prague, a city where
astronomy, maths, music and art connect. Kepler became the father of
modern astronomy supported by Brahe’s observational data, considered
the most accurate in pre-telescopic astronomy, in this beautifully
preserved “city of a hundred spires”.Our tour with astronomer Jane Green will journey to the heart of early
science and take in Prague’s medieval marvels, including the world’s
oldest astronomical clock, Prague and Benatky Castles, and the
Lobkowicz Palace, home of the composer Dvořák.Discovery
Tours
We were really excited by the launch of New Scientist Discovery Tours this year. Its concept of
travel with experts on board and in the company of like-minded travellers who enjoy science
and discovery promised a range of unique experiences. But Covid-19 had other plans.
Looking to the future, however, we are now focusing on next year’s tours. On these pages
you’ll find just a few of them. We are not currently taking reservations, but if a specific tour
lifts your spirits, why not register your interest and we will contact you when the time is right.
Plan now – passport not required.
