Akvariet, Gothenburg

The Gothenburg Aquarium is housed in the same building as Sjöfartsmuseet (the Maritime Museum). This is the place to go if you want to see poisonous, dangerous or simply colourful tropical fish, such as the piranhas or the dragon fish. Another room is dedicated to common Swedish species like cod and flatfish. But the most exciting part is probably the terrarium, where you can see fascinating creatures like boa constrictors, salamanders and a couple of alligators.
