Oceanário de Lisboa Tickets

About this experience

Oceanário de Lisboa Tickets This ticket grants admission to the Oceanário de Lisboa, one of Europe's largest aquariums, where over 8,000 marine animals and plants across more than 500 species are resident and cared for by the venue's team. Located in Lisbon's Parque das Nações, the facility features a massive central tank that recreates the world's major ocean habitats under one roof. Your visit takes you through four distinct oceanic environments representing the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic oceans. Each habitat showcases its unique ecosystem, from tropical coral reefs filled with colourful fish to rocky Antarctic shores where resident penguins and sea otters can be observed. The centrepiece is the enormous central tank, where rays glide gracefully alongside sharks, sea turtles and countless tropical species in a stunning underwater display. During your exploration of the aquarium, do not miss Takashi Amano's remarkable underwater installation, which recreates a tropical rainforest beneath the water's surface. The aquarium also features rotating temporary exhibitions and interactive displays that highlight marine conservation efforts. After exploring the ocean depths, you might want to discover more of Lisbon's attractions with Belém Tower tickets or take in panoramic city views from the Santa Justa Elevator.
