Oceanario de Lisboa

The Oceanário is the most visited tourist attraction in Lisbon, indeed Portugal, and is Europe's second largest aquarium. It's home to around 8000 aquatic species, with the facility designed around four different habitat zones and a huge central tank that holds a mesmerizing variety of sealife, including an array of sleek shark, graceful ray and a funky-looking sunfish. A series of smaller aquaria display a fascinating collection of marine life: look out for the beautiful and dainty sea dragons! Another popular draw are the two sea otters what win over crowds with their playful antics. The Oceanário works on several levels. While walking through impressive and unforgettable exhibits, visitors are also encouraged to learn more about the oceans' richness and diversity, and are also reminded of just how fragile the undersea environment is. Entertaining and educative, this makes for a great family day out.
