The Aqu\u00e0rium is located in Barcelona's Old Port (Port Vell). a great fun activity<\/strong> but also interesting, because you're going to learn a lot.<\/p>\n

Children will appreciate the many activities reserved for them, and adults will enjoy the meticulous explanations<\/strong> on the more than 110,000 animals in over 35 aquariums.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That's right, over 450 different species<\/strong> are preserved in this immense space, which also includes a gigantic 80-metre tunnel from which you can admire the beauties of the marine world from below.<\/p>\n

We appreciate the incredible structure that allows us to see marine species from every angle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where exactly is Barcelona's Aqu\u00e0rium?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the Port Vell, the city's old port where boats used to moor, between the Gothic Quarter and the old fishing district of the Barceloneta<\/a>. In the tourist district, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Very easy to access, it also has the advantage ofto be close to the sea,<\/strong> which means we can combine our visit with a beautiful ballad<\/strong> in front of the Mediterranean and the seafront's many bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n

In summer, this area is extremely popular with tourists and should be avoided if you want some peace and quiet.<\/p>\n

\"aquarium<\/p>\n

The Aquarium's exact address<\/strong>\u00a0Moll d'Espanya, del Port Vell, s\/n, 08039 Barcelona<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do I get to the Barcelona Aquarium?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To get to the Aqu\u00e0rium gates, it's easy to walk from Pla\u00e7a Catalunya towards the sea. It's right in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

With the metro<\/a>you can go out to theDrassanes metro stop<\/strong> (Green Line) or Barceloneta Metro<\/strong> (Yellow Line). Alternatively, the V17 Vertical bus, which crosses the whole city, will take you there too, and what's more, you'll enjoy a beautiful view of the city from top to bottom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Europe's largest Aqu\u00e0rium<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Oceanarium is more than 30 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep.<\/strong> In this unique space, you can admire sharks as well as all kinds of dorados, sunfish...<\/p>\n

These are mainly Mediterranean species.<\/p>\n

In fact, Aqu\u00e0rium is renowned throughout Europe for the diversity of its Mediterranean species.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Mediterranean Sea is one of the largest seas on Earth, it's surprising to realize that it's home to such a wide variety of species, including sharks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aqu\u00e0rium is dedicated to the Mediterranean, but not only...<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That's right! You can also discover tropical species<\/strong>\u00a0corals from the ends of the earth, seahorses... The colors will impress you and the incredible shapes of the species will make you feel as if you are meeting the sea monsters of mythological tales from another time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stars of the Aquarium: sharks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aqu\u00e0rium is home to several species of shark, including grey sharks. The incredible appearance of the aquarium means you can admire them from every angle, and understand why these animals are so fascinating.<\/p>\n

You can admire them just a few centimetres apart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An educational place<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you're coming with children, or if you're a teacher with a group of pupils, you'll be delighted to discover that the Aqu\u00e0rium has paid particular attention to teaching about species. All kinds of activities are organized, and a special children's area is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n

On the Aqu\u00e0rium website, you can also download teaching materials<\/strong> so you can have fun and learn with your kids. There are pictures to color, information on fish and species...<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We also specify the existence of Planeta Aqua<\/em> which is also a place where you can appreciate the importance of the underwater depths and environmental protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Special activities: dive or sleep with the sharks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you're a fan of original experiences, the Aqu\u00e0rium has a few special activities in store for you. You can be let loose in a cage among sharks<\/strong>. For 150 euros, you'll be able to share their environment. A good scare!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But if you're a licensed diver, you can go and greet the species directly in the aquariums and spend a few hours with them. a unique moment<\/strong> with them!<\/p>\n

You can also sleep on site, facing the marine species.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barcelona Aqu\u00e0rium prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Basic adult admission costs 21 euros. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Admission is free for children under three.<\/p>\n

From the age of three, the price is 8 euros, and from the age of five, the price is 16 euros.<\/p>\n

Ask about the family pack if you have a family with two children.<\/p>\n

Barcelona Aqu\u00e0rium opening times<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Schedules vary throughout the year according to the season. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Aqu\u00e0rium opens daily at 10 a.m. and closes between 7.30 and 8 p.m. all year round.<\/p>\n

Weekends in low season often close between 8pm and 8:30pm. In high season (June to September) and on weekends, we close at 9pm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long does the tour last?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To make the most of the species and animals, plan a minimum ofan hour and a half<\/strong> for your visit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other things to do in the Old Port?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Old Port is an extremely pleasant place to stroll and admire the boats and yachts on the waterfront.<\/p>\n

When you continue, you have other educational museums like the<\/p>\n

SONY DSCe Museum of the History of Catalonia<\/strong><\/em> (Museu de Historia de Catalunya - Pla\u00e7a de Pau Vila, 3, 08039 Barcelona), which presents an interactive version of the region's history, or the Maritime Museum<\/em> <\/strong>(Av. de les Drassanes, s\/n, 08001 Barcelona) to complement your knowledge of the sea acquired at the Aquarium.<\/p>\n
