Full description

The Oceanário de Lisboa sits on the water at Parque das Nações, the riverside district developed for Expo 98. Its design places one enormous open-ocean tank at the centre, surrounded by habitats representing different coastlines, so you keep returning to the big tank from new angles as you walk the circuit.

Along the way you’ll see sea otters, penguins, jellyfish and colourful reef fish, plus temporary exhibitions that change over time. Allow a couple of hours, then stroll the promenade or ride the cable car along the river.
