Barcelona Aquarium in Port Vell holds an impressive collection of marine life from giant conger eels to seahorses and even a penguin colony, but the highlight is the shark tunnel. Get up close to the craggy-toothed monsters if you dare.
In a matter of an hour or two visitors can tour the icy polar waters of the Southern Hemisphere, precious Mediterranean biospheres and the colonies and atolls of the Tropics. Over 300 species thrive in some 21 tanks, each acclimatised to produce the exact conditions required for the flora and fish inside.
Venture through the shark tunnel if you dare, or press your face against the glass to catch sight of giant-size Japanese conger eels, sea horses and luminescent fish of the deep. There's simply no end to the slippery and slimy creatures to take in.
Children can participate in feeding time, learn more on oceanography and marine evolution though eye-level games and installations and catch a glimpse of the inside of an exploratory submarine.
