This very well-known aquarium in Lisbon is also said to be one of the most impressive ones in the entire world. The building that houses the museum itself is lovely and symbolic of the idea of the unity of the ocean.

There are several exhibits and you will get to see marine life from around the world in this gigantic space. The habitats made have been specifically designed to ensure that the animals are able to live comfortably in the aquarium. Every effort is made to conserve the species that have been kept here. But while the animals are in great hands, so are the visitors.

The displays are simply fabulous and being here is sure to be an informative as well as entertaining experience. It is ideal for people travelling with their family but is equally suitable for all ages. Watching the ocean giants as they swim across though acrylic displays is certainly a surreal experience. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Lisbon Itinerary 7 Days.
