About this experience
About Oceanário de Lisboa: Private Guided Tour This ticket is admission to a private guided tour of the Oceanário de Lisboa, one of Europe's largest aquariums, led by a marine biologist in Lisbon's Parque das Nações district. The Oceanário opened in 1998 for Expo '98, designed by American architect Peter Chermayeff, and houses around 8,000 sea creatures across its central tank and four surrounding habitat tanks representing the Atlantic, Antarctic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. The tour runs for approximately 90 minutes and covers both the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. Your guide is a trained marine educator who contextualises the ecosystems on display, moving beyond the visual to explain the ecological relationships between species and their habitats. What to expect The tour moves through the four ocean habitat zones, each recreating distinct environmental conditions, from the cold Antarctic to the temperate Atlantic. The central tank, one of the largest in Europe, is home to sharks, rays, sunfish, and schools of smaller species visible from multiple levels. Alongside the permanent collection, the tour includes access to Takashi Amano's "Forests Underwater" exhibition, a large-scale aquascape installation accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Portuguese musician Rodrigo Leão. Your ticket covers dedicated entrance, private guide access, and entry to both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Oceanário de Lisboa and getting there The Oceanário de Lisboa sits on the waterfront of Parque das Nações, the former Expo '98 site on the eastern bank of the Tagus. The nearest station is Oriente, served by metro, suburban rail, and long-distance trains, placing the aquarium within a short walk of central Lisbon.
