Skywatching at the Observatory
Escape the city lights of Saint Petersburg and have a romantic chill evening under millions of stars. Watch as the stars twinkle in the clear sky at Pulkovo Observatory and make beautiful memories together.
- Start your evening by enjoying a simple dinner at home. Make your way to Pulkovo Observatory, away from the distracting city lights. The moment you step into the observatory, you'll feel as though you're in a different world. Be amazed by the sheer beauty of the starlit sky and share this memorable moment of quiet tranquility together. Enjoy the beautiful view of the stars and constellations, while discussing your favourite astronomical theories or making wishes on falling stars.
- The option to hire a professional astronomer is also available. They can provide you with a fascinating insight into the universe and its celestial bodies. Make your date unique and educational at the same time.
- To end the perfect evening, take a stroll around the observatory. The serene and mystical ambience makes for an ideal romantic evening.
Preparation steps:
- Since this date is outdoors and during the evening, dressing appropriately for the weather is crucial. It might get quite chilly so think about bringing extra layers. Prepare a blanket where you can sit or lie down while watching the stars.
- While the observatory might have some basic amenities, it's best to bring your own snacks and drinks. Some hot tea or coffee will not only keep you warm but also add to the whole experience.
- Lastly, although not necessary, you may want to bring a small telescope or binoculars for a better viewing experience.
Some tips:
- This date might not be suitable for everyone, especially for those who are not interested in astronomy. Make sure both of you are comfortable with the plan. If you're not sure, you could make it a surprise!
- Try to plan your visit on a night without a full moon as it will make the stars appear brighter. Checking the weather forecast is also important as you will want a clear night for the best viewing experience.
- Gazing at the stars can go from relaxing to bone-chilling very quickly as the temperature falls. So, remember to pack plenty of warm clothing, and consider bringing a thermal blanket or heated seats for extra warmth.
