Wienczyslav “Wini” Bykowski is a physicist whose passion for science history and science communication has led him to start a science tourism business: Go Science Tours. Wini lives in Germany and he says that science history can be found all around the city—he believes science literacy is important and people should know the importance of that history to Europe and the world.

Bykowski started his science career as an astrophysicist in Poland and says he loves to travel—he sees travel as another way to explore and learn about the world around him. The idea for science tourism sprang from his love for science and travel.

Bykowski says there are lots of interesting sites to visit around Europe for science tourists. Not only is the area rich in history, it is also where the scientific revolution—the series of events that marked the emergence of modern science—took place. Tourists can visit the sites where famous luminaries like Issac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Marie Skłodowska Curie, and Albert Einstein lived and worked.

Bykowski says in addition to the museums that make up Europe’s cityscape, there are scientific institutions and laboratories that people can visit—the most recognized laboratory might be the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN located along the Swiss-French border in Geneva.

Bykowski says he started his business in Munich, Germany. As a student, he worked as a tour guide, showing people the sites that makes up part of the city’s rich scientific history. This might be one of the best places to visit as not only is Germany a scientific powerhouse, Munich is the center of all this. In addition, the city has over 700 years of history to explore, which is more than enough to keep any science tourist busy.
