The city of Vigo is strongly linked to the sea, since it was created and it grew thanks to the port, which has always marked its history and economy.

In the Museum of the Sea, the connection of Vigo and its people to the sea can be explored, and you can also learn about the history of fishing in the area.
Visiting the different rooms in the museum, you can learn about all the aspects of the fishing activity, as well as seeing its development throughout the years: fishing, aquaculture, preservation methods from the old salting systems to the modern freezing methods, the technical advances in vessels, or marine biology.

The visit ends at the aquarium of the Museum, where visitors can see the main ecosystems that can be found from the docks and the steep coast of Cíes Islands.
