Part 3: The Oceanogràfic in Valencia
Right next to the snow-white structures by Calatrava lies the Oceanogràfic. It is Europe's largest aquarium. Sounds impressive? It definitely is. However, it was not my personal highlight – as for why, more on that shortly.
A few facts to start with:
Opened in 2003
Area: over 110,000 m²
More than 45,000 animals from around 500 species
The underwater tunnel is the longest in Europe at 70 meters
Different buildings showcase the habitats of the ocean, Arctic, Antarctic, tropics, Mediterranean & reef
A special dolphinarium with a show area is also included
We visited on Easter Saturday 2025, which turned out to be not a particularly wise idea. Although the Oceanogràfic significantly raised its prices for the entire Easter week, the influx of visitors was enormous.
Yes, it is impressive. The huge tanks, the variety of animals, the architecture of the individual pavilions, which extend partly over and partly under water. The tunnel you walk through while sharks and rays circle above you is indeed an experience.
But personally, I don’t feel the need to experience it again.
Those who visit outside the peak season or on holidays will surely have a very different experience at the Oceanogràfic.
