Nestled in the vibrant heart of Barcelona, L’Aquàrium de Barcelona is not just an aquarium; it's an immersive journey into the depths of the Mediterranean and beyond. With its stunning array of marine life, including colorful tropical fish and majestic sharks, this attraction offers a unique glimpse into underwater ecosystems. The aquarium is renowned for its innovative design, featuring a massive ocean tunnel that allows visitors to walk through and marvel at the creatures swimming overhead. Families and marine enthusiasts alike will find themselves captivated by the interactive exhibits and the sheer beauty of the aquatic world.

While the aquarium itself is a feast for the eyes, the surrounding area offers a variety of dining options that cater to every palate. From fresh seafood restaurants overlooking the harbor to cozy cafés serving traditional Catalan pastries, the culinary scene is as vibrant as the marine life. Don't miss the chance to try the local favorite, "escalivada," a grilled vegetable dish that perfectly complements the fresh seafood. Pair it with a glass of "cava," a sparkling wine that embodies the spirit of Catalunya.

One of the standout features of L’Aquàrium is its rotating floor, which allows visitors to enjoy breathtaking views of the marine life without the need to move around. This clever design enhances the experience, making it accessible for families with young children. Additionally, the aquarium is home to a variety of themed tanks that replicate different marine habitats, showcasing the diversity of life found in our oceans. A fun fact: the aquarium also offers scuba diving experiences with sharks, providing an adrenaline rush for those seeking adventure!

L’Aquàrium de Barcelona is conveniently located at Moll d'Espanya, right by the waterfront, making it an ideal stop for tourists exploring the Ciutat Vella district. After your visit, take a leisurely stroll along the harbor or explore nearby attractions such as the historic Gothic Quarter and the bustling La Rambla.

Very nice collection of sea fish indeed. Also the whole Harbour area was nice to sit and spend time. The big glass portion was also great and you can just stand on the moving belt ( too slow though) and enjoy the show..

This aquarium boasts a remarkable collection of diverse marine life, housed within numerous thoughtfully designed tanks.  The staff members contribute to a welcoming atmosphere with their helpful and friendly demeanor.  The facility itself is well-structured and easy to navigate, creating a pleasant visitor experience.  Maintaining a clean environment is clearly a priority, adding to the overall appeal.  Children will undoubtedly be captivated by the wonders of the underwater world showcased here. It's a truly enriching and enjoyable destination for families and anyone interested in marine life.  The aquarium's commitment to showcasing a variety of species makes it a standout attraction. I reccomend buing tickets in advance, it's very easy and will save you time.

The place was nice and there were some different species but we didn’t see so many of them as they had to be there based on the information next to their aquarium.
There was no waiting time.
The penguin glass was so dirty you couldn’t take a good picture!!
I believe it doesn’t worth the expensive ticket price.

I would recommend visiting on a weekday. The place isn’t very large, and when it’s crowded, it really takes away from the experience. You feel rushed to see everything and don’t have the chance to truly enjoy the aquariums in peace. It’s definitely worth a visit, as it’s fascinating, but make sure to plan your trip to avoid the crowds.

The massive ocean tunnel is breathtaking, and the interactive areas keep kids engaged. Overall, a fantastic and well-organized aquarium that’s definitely worth a visit!
