Barcelona Aquarium

So you've booked your flights, rented a holiday apartment and you are all for your week or weekend break in Barcelona. So what is there to do in Barcelona. One attraction I think is well worth visiting is Barcelona aquarium.

Barcelona aquarium is situated right in the marina area and this is easily accessible by metro or by walking to the end of La Rambla, the main tourist street in Barcelona. The Barcelona City Barcelona aquariumtour buses also stop near to the aquarium so you will be able to get to the attraction without any trouble.

The aquarium itself has a very good selection of exhibits including over three hundred species, including sharks and sea-fish. Entrance when I last checked was €16 with reduced entrance for children and seniors. If you want to stay near to the aquarium then the Barri Gotic area is maybe a good bet.
