🐠 Dive into Oceanário de Lisboa: 1-Day Underwater Adventure! 🌊

Tips & Tricks for Your 1-Day Visit

Oceanário de Lisboa, Europe's 2nd largest aquarium, houses 8,000+ creatures in 7M liters of water! 🐙
Plan 2-3 hours to explore leisurely—rush in 1.5 if short on time.
Arrive early (opens 10 AM, last entry 7 PM) to beat crowds.
Buy tickets online (€25 adult, €15 kids 3-12) for skip-the-line; Lisboa Card saves 15% + free transport.
Metro to Oriente station (red line) is easiest from center—10 min walk.
No food inside, so eat at nearby Vasco da Gama mall.
Pro trick: Start at top floor, circle clockwise to end at central tank for epic views.
Catch feedings (otters ~2 PM, penguins ~3 PM) for lively action!
Family bonus: Kids love interactive touch pools. Combo with cable car ride (€29 total) for aerial Parque das Nações vibes.
Rainy day savior—open Christmas too!
