Zoos, Farms and Wild Animals, 5 of 8: Vasco da Gama Aquarium



One of the world's oldest aquariums, opened in 1898 and run by the Portuguese Navy. Downstairs, five rooms hold around 90 tanks with more than 300 live species, from Portuguese coastal fish to tropical reef fish, seahorses and freshwater species. The Window to the Ocean room has a giant interactive screen for young kids. Upstairs, King Carlos I's collection of preserved sea creatures fills the Noble Hall.
