Lonely Planet review

Europe's oldest aquarium is more 'vintage charm' than 'cutting-edge' with its dripping tanks of spooky squid and nervous little Nemos. Housed in an elegant neoclassical building, its 23 tanks contain some 200 species of marine flora and fauna exclusively from the Bay of Naples. Founded in 1872 by German naturalist Anton Dohrn, its research centre plays a vital role in rehabilitating Loggerhead sea turtles injured by ships in the bay.
