Portugal
I visited the biggest oceanarium in the world. You don't need to love fishing or a nature-freak to enjoy this. It is a great experience. There are four biotypes, each recreating one of the world’s coastal habitats. They're located in the four corner towers which encircle the central aquarium.
Together they constitute a representative set of ocean environments. And I will never forget how cute a baby sea otter can be.

Lisbon Zoo is fantastic. You don't need children to enjoy the spectacle. A great aerial trip around the park on a mini cable car is included in price (and dangling above lions is great fun).
