Peak season vs low season

For the most pleasant weather and potentially fewer crowds, spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are ideal. Summer (June-August) is peak season with warmer temperatures but the most visitors. Winter (December-February) offers the quietest experience, but Lisbon’s weather can be unpredictable.

How long should I spend at the Oceanário de Lisboa?

The Oceanário de Lisboa is Europe’s largest aquarium with a massive Central Ocean Tank and four major oceanic zones. Besides these, you’ll also find various sections dedicated to the aquarium’s conservation efforts, besides activities for children.

If you’re visiting with family, especially kids, you can easily spend 2-3 hours exploring the various zones. Kids will relish spotting the over 15,000 different creatures!

If you’re visiting the Oceanário on a Tuesday afternoon, make sure to check out the penguin feeding at 3:30pm. You should ideally set aside a good 30-45 minutes for this.
