Reviews Lisbon Oceanarium
“So fun! Best aquarium I have ever been to.”
“Valor do bilhete muito dispendioso para o que o Oceanário nos consegue mostrar, conseguiu-se ver tudo em 1h e pouco e o valor pago pelos bilhetes (25€ cada) era de esperar mais, além disso a qualidade da foto não foi das melhores e 15€ pela mesma também é um absurdo. Não recomendo, e viemos embora com o sentimento de pouco satisfeitos para a expectativa que criámos… Ps: devia ser obrigatório ter alguém como guia a mostrar o local”
“Very good and useful, we were able to access museums for free and the use of public transport was very easy and made everything less stressful, especially for the Metro.”
