About Barcelona Aquarium

Barcelona Aquarium, officially known as 'L'Aquarium de Barcelona', is a must-visit destination for all to enjoy. Opened in 1995, it proudly holds the title of the largest Mediterranean-themed aquarium in the world.

One of the aquarium’s most spectacular features is the 80-meter-long glass tunnel, where visitors can walk through and be surrounded by sharks, eels, stingrays, and other marine life!

The aquarium is set up in various aquatic habitats, including:

• The Mediterranean ecosystems
• The warm Tropical Seas of the Caribbean
• Planeta Aqua, which shows how various creatures adapt to changing ecosystems.
• Explora! Children's Area, where they can learn about various marine animals with touch and interactive elements.
• In total, the aquarium is home to around 11,000 animals from over 400 different species.

Penguins, a favourite among many visitors, are also part of the aquarium’s diverse inhabitants. They are typically fed around 11:30 and 16:30, so try to catch one of these feeding sessions if you can!
