Oceanário de Lisboa

Oceanário de Lisboa is one of Europe's premier aquariums and Portugal's most-visited cultural institution, located in the Parque das Nações district of Lisbon. Inaugurated in 1998, the aquarium is home to more than 500 species and features a variety of immersive permanent and temporary exhibitions, including "Um Planeta, Um Oceano" which explores the interconnectedness of the world's oceans, and rotating displays such as "Monstros Marinhos" and "Universo Submerso." Families can enjoy guided tours, overnight "sleeping with sharks" adventures, birthday parties, and summer camps, while schools benefit from dedicated educational programmes. A Species Survival Center underlines the institution's commitment to marine conservation and biodiversity research. The Oceanário's distinctive architecture and spectacular 55,000-tile façade make it a landmark destination for visitors of all ages.
