About Oceanário de Lisboa

The Oceanário de Lisboa or Lisbon Oceanarium is one of the biggest indoor aquariums in the world and is home to around 8000 creatures which includes rare sunfish! The Oceanário has a gigantic 5,000 m3 aquarium where you will feel as though you are strolling along the ocean floor as you walk along and have the fish and other creatures float past you!

The main aquarium is so big it gives you the impression you are actually looking through a wall in the actual ocean and you can see the different creatures that live at the different levels, like they would in the wild.

Built for the World Exposition in 1998 that was held in Lisbon, it has since firmly become one of the city’s best selling and most visited tourist attractions! The Oceanário also takes conservation and environmental awareness seriously so your visit promises to be both enlightening and fun as you delve into the intricate ecosystems that are at the aquarium.

The Oceanário building is also award-winning for its architecture and appears to be floating on top of a man-made lake.

Venture beyond the main tank and you will find the recreated habitats which include the rugged North Atlantic coast and the vibrant coral reefs of the Tropical Indian Ocean.

Also included in your Oceanário de Lisboa experience is "Forests Underwater" by the visionary Takashi Amano. The 40-metre-long aquarium is accompanied with a soundtrack that was created by Rodrigo Leão, and transports you into the loud but peaceful realm of tropical rainforests that are submerged beneath the surface. With 160 thousand litres of freshwater, it offers a spellbinding glimpse into the mystical beauty of underwater landscapes.
