1. AquaDom: World's Largest Cylindrical Aquarium
The AquaDom breaks all records as the largest cylinder aquarium in the world, at over 25 meters high. Filled with about 900,000 liters of seawater, it contains some 2600 fish of 56 species. It is placed at the lobby of the Radisson SAS Hotel in Berlin.
Combined with a vast amount of sandblasted glass, the giant AquaDom gives a transparent-like feeling to the lobby. Guests and visitors are able to travel through the aquarium in a glass-enclosed elevator to reach a sightseeing point and restaurant under the glass roof.
