I already went there for 20 times (maybe more) and each time I love it more... It's a special place where you can forget all the rest... Take your family and enjoy that great place! More

One of the most touristy things I have done on a City Break so far but thought it was fantastic. I have done a fair amount of diving in the past and could therefore appreciate just how well the Oceanario reefs were designed. The sea life was spectacular - sharks, rays, barracuda and lots of interesting smaller fish - clown... More

The historical buildings are wonderful in Lisbon, but the world expo site from 1998 is equally worth a visit. Whatever you do, especially if you have children, don't miss the Oceanario! More

It is hard to compare Lisbon's Oceanário with anything else. The Oceanario was desgined and built during the Expo 98, and since then it has done an amazing job in preserving a lot of marine species, while also doing an outstanding job in teaching its visitors about how to better preserve the ocean.

If you travel with kids, its mandatory to came here! If you travel solo, it's an amazing experience! Well maintained, the central aquarium is a must. It's another world, an unforgetful experience! Audioguides and guided visits available. It's easy to reach, by train, metro or bus, it's only at a walking distance! More

Very carefully planned space, well-cared of aquariums. Loved the penguins and otters, they are the stars there! Also enjoyed the projection of the "behind the scenes" film with English subtitles, it answered lots of questions we had. More
