Oceanário de LisboaPage 2
ABOVE: The Oceanário de Lisboa's exhibit building is surrounded by water. Its design resembles "a docked ship, ready to cast off." Visitor informationLocation: The Oceanário de Lisboa is in the Parque das Nacões, a modern district on the eastern edge of Lisbon. Once you reach the park, head for the Tejo (Tagus) riverfront, where you'll find the exhibit building at the south end of the Doca dos Olivais. (See photo at top of page.) The ticket office, gift shop, and cafeteria are in a separate building on land, with an enclosed pedestrian bridge crossing the water to the exhibit halls.
From the station, walk toward the river. The oceanarium is a short distance west of the Pavilhão Atlántico arena and concert hall. For a map, a list of buses, and parking information, see the oceanarium's Access page. Hours and admission: The Oceanário normally opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 6. p.m. (winter) or 7 p.m. (summer), with shorter hours on Dec. 1 and January 1. Tickets are sold until one hour before the exhibits close. For up-to-date admission prices, hours of operation, and tours, visit the oceanarium's ticketing pages. Accessibility: The Oceanário is easy to navigate with a walker or in a wheelchair (as is the entire Parque das Nacões, which is the only fully accessible district of Lisbon). Web site: The Oceanário de Lisboa has a Web site at www.oceanario.pt. Click the Union Jack button for English text. (You may need to click the button repeatedly as you navigate through the bilingual site.) Back to: Oceanário de Lisboa - Introduction
