Did you know?

L'Aquàrium de Barcelona's Size: L'Aquàrium de Barcelona holds the title of the world's largest aquarium devoted exclusively to the Mediterranean. Its 14 pools, ranging from 6 to 120 m³, showcase diverse marine life from various Mediterranean regions.

Oceanarium's Dimensions: The Oceanarium, Barcelona's largest aquarian basin, spans an impressive 36 meters in diameter, with a water depth exceeding 5 meters and a substantial 4 million liters of water.

Shark Species in Oceanarium: The Oceanarium's undeniable headliners are the sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) and sandbank sharks (Carcharhinus plumbeus). Visitors can get an intimate view of these magnificent creatures and other sea inhabitants through a transparent tunnel on the 'seabed'.

Mediterranean Exhibit's Specifications: The Mediterranean exhibit replicates the distinctive flora and fauna of the region, spanning over 3,700 m³ of water. With 14 pools, it maintains a Mediterranean-like surface water temperature between 14 and 18 °C, offering an authentic representation of the sea's surface environment.

Tropical Diversity in Seven Pools: L'Aquàrium dazzles with seven tropical water pools ranging from 11 to 156 m³. Maintaining warmer temperatures between 23 and 27 °C, these pools house an impressive array of species, including sharks, coral reef inhabitants, and aquatic life from the Great Barrier Reef, Red Sea, Caribbean Sea, and tropical atolls.

Why visit L'Aquàrium Barcelona?

Second time visiting, first time with friends. We are Architecture graduates and this was a must see stop at Barcelona, and it was absolutely worth it. Casa Mila is a complete journey where you experience a glimpse to the past, Gaudi's mind, nature, the cityscape and a touch of magic.

Barcelona left an indelible mark on me, leaving me with the feeling that it is a city I want to return to again and again. It offers an impressive blend of history, modernity, sea, and the vibrant energy of its streets. Gaudí's architecture is captivating, the walks along the seafront are peaceful, and the atmosphere of the city is always inspiring. The Barcelona Aquarium holds a special place in my memories. It is not just a tourist attraction, but a journey into the underwater world. The huge aquariums, the shark and ray tunnel, and the diverse marine life evoke genuine delight and a feeling of total immersion. The Aquarium impresses both adults and children, offering vibrant emotions and new perspectives. Barcelona is a city of emotions, beauty, and unforgettable experiences.
