AQUARIUMS · BARCELONA
This is the shortlist you would send a friend flying in: 4 aquariums worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you buy.
Visit L’Aquàrium de Barcelona in Port Vell for more than 80 Mediterranean and tropical aquariums, an 80-metre shark tunnel, Planeta Aqua, mangrove exhibits, and the Journey to the Depths digital room. Allow about two to three hours, especially with children.
“Nice aquarium it is. Enjoyed a lot with baby. Truely value for money.”
You get a 24 or 48-hour Barcelona City Tour bus ticket plus one-time entry to the Barcelona Aquarium. Ride two routes past Gaudí landmarks, Montjuïc, Camp Nou, the waterfront, and Park Güell, using multilingual audio commentary and hopping on at any listed stop.
“O Aquário foi espetacular. O autocarro foi muito bom, exceto a falta de sinalização nas paragens para o efeito. Quando descemos e queremos retomar noutro sítio, não é nada fácil.”
