Opened in 1998, the Oceanário de Lisboa is one of the world’s largest aquariums, renowned for its central 5-million-liter saltwater tank and immersive design that simulates a single, continuous ocean.
Central saltwater tank: With over 5 million litres of saltwater, this vast tank houses diverse marine life and creates the illusion of one interconnected ocean, making it a focal point for visitors. Made of acrylic, it curves overhead, enveloping you in blue paradise.
Global marine habitats: Explore detailed recreations of the North Atlantic, Antarctic, Temperate Pacific, and Tropical Indian Ocean, each home to unique species and ecosystems.
Forests Underwater exhibit: Designed by Takashi Amano, this display highlights the biodiversity of tropical forest ecosystems within an aquatic setting.
Submerged Universe exhibition: Available until January 7, 2026, this temporary exhibit offers a fresh perspective on underwater worlds.
