Vasco da Gama Aquarium (Aquário Vasco da Gama)

Visitors with a keen interest in creatures of the deep may want to combine a visit to Vasco da Gama Aquarium with a trip to the state-of-the-art Oceanário de Lisboa. While the Vasco da Gama Aquarium shines a spotlight on the early days of oceanography as well as offering an intimate look at select species, the Oceanário de Lisboa impresses with wrap-around tanks inhabited by thousands of marine creatures—making visitors feel as if they have been transported into the ocean’s depths.
