Portugal’s Lisbon Oceanarium captivates with its range of marine wonders.

The Oceanarium of Lisbon dates back to Expo ’98, an event commemorating Vasco da Gama’s voyage to India. 

Officially opening in May 1998, it centered around the theme ‘The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future.’ 

The architect Peter Chermayeff designed its captivating, world-renowned architecture.

Oceanario Lisboa has also earned acclaim for its dedication to education, research, and conservation.

Embark on a private guided tour at the Lisbon Oceanarium to dive into the history of aquatic life and marine conservation.

It was the first European public aquarium certified by SGS for quality and environmental management. 

In 2011, the Edifício do Mar expansion, led by architect Pedro Campos Costa, increased exhibition space and introduced temporary exhibitions. 

It has been a center for endangered species research, conservation, and breeding programs. 

It keeps its vital mission alive today by actively working with international organizations to promote ocean awareness and protection. 

The Lisbon Aquarium exhibits unveil diverse marine environments worldwide, providing a captivating underwater journey.

Additionally, it firmly supports marine biology research and ocean preservation, cementing its position as a global leader in marine conservation.
