OPEN PORTS 2023. Celebrate with us the International Environment Day

In the framework of the PORTOS project (Ports towards energy self-sufficiency), funded by the European Interreg Atlantic Area call, the Port of Vigo invites you to dive into the underwater observatory "Nautilus".

In this context, from May 1 to June 15, the Nautilus will have its doors open so you can learn a little more about the daily life of the Port of Vigo and the projects it is working on, as well as discovering the life that lives under its waters.

The visits to the underwater observatory are guided, totally free and have an approximate duration of 30 minutes. They are intended for school groups and groups (by reservation) and for the general public (without reservation), according to the following days and times:

  • School groups: Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

  • Groups and general public: Fridays, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (the last show will begin at 12:40 p.m. in the morning and at 7:40 p.m. in the afternoon).
