The world's biggest particle accelerator and the world's biggest machine of all time !

Explo History and Description: 

The CERN can be visited, but you will have to be accompanied by a guide: tours are avaible on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They start at 9.00 a.m. and 14.00 p.m. and are subject to availability. As I know, tours are conducted either in English or in French.

You have to ask in advance and book your tour. Contact the visitors section on their website.

The CERN is almost a city. It consumes the same amount of electricity as Geneva.

Every bit of the accelerator could be included in the world guiness book of records !

The Cern is also the place where Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web. Hypertext was originally used for the CERN intranet!
