Why Copernicus Science Centre matters
If you are travelling with children, or you are simply a curious adult, this is one of the best science centres in Europe. Hundreds of exhibits invite you to touch, spin, pull and experiment, from water and light to the human brain. There is also a planetarium and a green rooftop garden with views of the Vistula. Walk the riverbank afterwards for a more relaxed look at the city.
Talking points
- Almost every exhibit is designed to be touched and tried.
- The rooftop garden has views over the river.
