About Oceanario Lisboa

Oceanário Lisboa is split into two levels, with each level subdivided into two blocks that fit together almost squarely. The four sections stand for the four oceans—the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Antarctic. Observe each ocean from a different vantage point as you make your way around the Oceanarium's top floor. As you descend, you'll be able to see the oceans from a fish's perspective. Large fish, sharks, rays, and five million litres of saltwater inhabit the enormous central aquarium in the centre part!

AddressEsplanada Dom Carlos I s/nº, 1990-005 Lisboa, Portugal
Also known asOceanário de Lisboa
Year opened1998

Did you know?

Enjoy the Ocean Sunfish at Oceanarium Lisboa—it's the world's largest bony fish, resembling a child's drawing as it rests on the water's surface. This rare sight is a unique feature of the aquarium, given the challenges in caring for these giant sunbathing rocks.

Keep an eye out for the aquarium's two massive spider crabs, affectionately nicknamed "King" and "Queen." These impressive creatures, with leg spans exceeding 3 meters, are the largest of their kind on display in Europe.

The central tank is larger than four Olympic-sized pools and is home to one hundred kinds of fish and other marine life. Being on two levels allows you to see it from various angles, allowing you to spot fish that might otherwise be difficult to notice.

While the marine life takes center stage, the Oceanário also showcases incredible examples of coastal ecosystems. Look for the recreated salt marshes and rocky shores, teeming with diverse invertebrates and birds, offering a glimpse into the interconnectedness of our planet's habitats.

The Oceanário goes beyond entertainment, actively participating in research and conservation efforts. They've even developed a unique closed-loop water treatment system, recycling 90% of their water, making them a model for sustainable aquarium practices.

Why visit Oceanario Lisboa?

Recognized as the world's best aquarium

Oceanário de Lisboa has been named the best aquarium globally, not one, not twice but three times. A must-visit in Lisbon, it's renowned for its commitment to ocean conservation since 1998.

Explore ecosystems of the world

Explore "One Planet, One Ocean," an exhibition housing over 8,000 animals and plants of 500 species, including sharks, penguins, and corals, representing ecosystems from around the world.

Watch out for the sharks!

You'll love the sharks, like most people. Sharks here get 10 kilograms of seafood twice a week. Keep in mind that sharks are known to lose their teeth periodically; in fact, certain species, like the sandbar shark, may grow to have more than 20,000 teeth!

Award-winning design

Experience Lisbon Oceanarium's innovative architecture designed by Peter Chermayeff, with a central tank surrounded by four distinct ecosystems, providing a 360-degree viewing experience and making visitors feel immersed in the underwater world.

Walk through a rainforest

The aquarium's Tropical Indian Ocean section mimics the look of the Seychelles' coral reefs. Two of Earth's most biologically varied ecosystems are coral reefs and rainforests. Here, you can stroll along a boardwalk in the woods here as you listen to the monkeys and birdsong.

Plan your visit

Main entrance

Main entrance

The Lisbon Oceanarium only has one main entrance. This entrance leads visitors to both the ticket booth and the actual aquarium entrance. There are no other separate entrances for different exhibits or sections of the aquarium. So, once you enter the main entrance, you can freely explore all the different habitat zones without needing to go outside again.

A beautiful oceanographic museum, better than many others in Europe. The central aquarium is spectacular. The cable car is more of a spectacle than anything else, but it's worth it.

Review of Castelo de São Jorge Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon is definitely worth a visit. The castle is perched atop a hill and offers a stunning view of the city, the Tagus River, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The ancient walls and towers give you a good sense of Lisbon’s history. It’s fun to walk around and explore different parts of the castle. I found the view from the castle walls particularly impressive. It can get crowded, and the admission fee isn’t cheap. Still, I think it’s a beautiful attraction that you should definitely include in your visit to Lisbon. I give the castle 4 out of 5 stars.

We visited as a family of three, including our 5-year-old daughter, and the Oceanário de Lisboa completely exceeded our expectations. The guided tour made all the difference — our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a real knack for explaining the marine life in a way that kept our little one fascinated the entire time. She was especially captivated by the otters and the massive central tank full of sharks, rays, and schools of fish swimming together. The layout is thoughtfully designed, moving through different ocean ecosystems, and it never felt rushed or overwhelming for a young child. Between the interactive elements and the sheer scale of the aquarium, there was something to hold everyone’s attention, adults included. It was absolutely worth the visit, and we’d happily recommend the guided tour to any family visiting Lisbon with kids.
