The best aquarium I've ever been to with species I never even knew existed like the giant spider crabs, which can grow up to 1 metre tall, and the tomato clown fish, whose males can turn into females at will. You'll also see sharks, stingrays, penguins and crocodiles. Well worth a visit, plus it's near all the great shops so when you're tired of fishing for bargains…

The second largest aquarium in the world and the largest in Europe, this is a truly remarkable place to visit. Four habitat zones show life above the water, the central tank is huge, and you can even watch the penguins "fly" under the water.
