Children need to be occupied and in this article you will find the attractions or things to see in Lisbon that are more suitable for children. How to visit Lisbon with children? What attractions to see so that they too can enjoy the city? Below you will find some answers: Lisbon has a lot of attractions for children, but you have to be aware of them!<\/p><p>Travelling with a child should not be a problem and will certainly not be a problem in Lisbon, they won&#8217;t be bored. Lisbon, like Portugal, offers a variety of entertainment and animations for children: the beaches, tasting ice cream like they have never eaten before, the Lisbon Aquarium, the Zoo, children&#8217;s parks&#8230; The choice is great but I have selected only a few below, children will already be delighted if you have the time to take them everywhere!<\/p><h2>Visiting Lisbon as a Family: the Lisboa Card<\/h2><p>If you want to visit Lisbon with your family and children, the Lisboa Card seems to me to be indispensable. The cost of transport or visits is multiplied by the number of people and can quickly add up. My advice is therefore to get this card (All about the <a href=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/visit-lisbon\/lisboa-card-lisbon-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lisboa Card<\/a>) valid for 24h (\u20ac23), 48h (\u20ac40) or 72h (\u20ac51) and which will offer you <a href=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/visit-lisbon\/public-transport-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free transport in all Lisbon<\/a> as well as discounts for many visits \u2014 including the Oceanarium at -20% \u2014 or free entry to places not to be missed in the capital.

Each zone has two floors and allows the observation of flora and fauna both above and below the water level. Children will be particularly interested in the possibility of seeing different types of sharks up close, including hammerheads, rays or fish that you are used to eating, such as tuna.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4478 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/visite-aquarium-lisbonne-famille.jpeg\" alt=\"visit the Lisbon Aquarium with your family\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/visite-aquarium-lisbonne-famille.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/visite-aquarium-lisbonne-famille-300x185.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/visite-aquarium-lisbonne-famille-768x473.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/visite-aquarium-lisbonne-famille-1024x630.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p><p>In these four areas you can admire the flora and fauna of different regions of the world.
