The Planetário do Porto opened its doors to the public in November 1998. The Planetarium is owned by Fundação Ciência e Desenvolvimento, that was established in 1995, by the Universidade do Porto and by Câmara Municipal do Porto (Town Hall).

The scientific supervision of the planetarium is ensured by the Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto, while the Foundation is responsible for the day to day management.

The Planetarium dome seats 93 people, in specially designed chairs. Astronomers, in constant dialogue with the audience, guide them through the wonders of the Universe and of the night sky.
