Accessibility, mobility & Clothing for Fabra Observatory
While no specific entry requirements, I only recommend taking a small rucksack or bag because the observatory staff will probably ask you to leave large bags, pushchairs and other bulky items on the ground floor while they take you on the guided tour.
Access between floors and to the roof terrace is only via stairs. The Telescope is on the second second floor inside the dome.
No bicycle anchorage outside or near to Fabra Observatory.
