Barcelona Aquarium

The Barcelona Aquarium is one of the wonders of the city, thanks to its 35 tanks containing over 35 thousand species of fish.

During a visit to Barcelona, you cannot fail to pass by the Aquarium, located in the Port Vell area beyond the Maremagnum shopping centre at the end of the Rambla de Mar. The building, although nothing special from the outside, reveals incredible surprises inside, ideal for enjoying a family day out doing something different. You will be able to see more than 11,000 fish, belonging to almost 500 different species and contained within 35 tanks containing a total of 5 million litres of water.

But the absolute star of the Barcelona aquarium is the ocean tank, by far the largest in the entire facility. You can walk on the bottom of it thanks to an 80-metre-long underwater tunnel, which gives you the chance to look up and see sharks, rays and fish of all kinds swimming above you. During your visit to the aquarium you can also engage in interesting activities, including swimming with sharks, sleeping with them, or taking part in a scuba diving session.
