PortAventura World is a huge amusement park which includes three different parks: PortAventura Park, PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park and Ferrari Land.
Each park comprises its own special features!
PortAventura Park is a theme park made up of several worlds: China, Polynesia, the Far West, the Mediterranean... The worlds and their attractions can be reached via canals, ports or on foot. Aquatic Park is an aquatic playground and Ferrari Land is dedicated to the famous Italian brand and its founder Enzo Ferrari.
The theme park also features reproductions of famous Italian buildings, such as the Campanile in Venice's Piazza San Marco or the Roman Colosseum.
Which park to visit?
PortAventura World and its three parks can be visited separately or by combining days and tickets.

The longer you stay and the more parks you visit, the lower the ticket price...
PortAventura World: moving from one world to another...
The park is organized into several worlds: Mediterània, Polynesia, China, Far West, México...
Each world has its own attractions, restaurants and hotels...
Mediterània is the best-known and most iconic world. At the heart of this world, you'll discover incredible attractions such as Europe's fastest catapult the Furius Baco from 0 to 135 km/h in almost three seconds over a 850-metre course.
To move from one world to another, you have several options: the Port de la Drassanaa magnificent boat trip through the Chinese imperial port, via the Mediterranean and into the heart of Polynesian song.
La Estacion del Norte, meanwhile, is a locomotive that takes you to the world of the Wild West...
Where to eat at PortAventura World?
More than twenty restaurants associated with different worlds can be found on the site!
Where to stay at PortAventura World?
You can stay in the heart of the worlds: the hotels are associated with the different atmospheres recreated by PortAventura.
Staying on site will give you the full experience, as well as discounts on park admission.
Between Colorado Creek to feel like a cowboy, or an oasis in the Caribbean, you're spoilt for choice.
If you want to save a little money, the park also offersa campsite.
The cost of a night for an adult starts at at around 35 euros.
Guided tour or Express Pass?
The park can get quite crowded in high season, and each attraction has a different timetable.
To make things easier for you, the park offers the bracelet PortAventura Express Premium where a guide will show you around.
However, the price is quite high: €350 per guide for 4 hours, €450 per guide for 6 hours, €550 per guide for 8 hours.
Also, to avoid queuing, you can buy Express Pass individual lockers, entrance counters and vending machines.
How much does it cost? What is the entrance fee/price?
Prices vary according to the season, and it's obviously cheaper in low season.
The tourist season naturally includes the summer vacations in July and August.
A minimum of 45 euros per adult is required for one-day park access.
Know that it is cheaper to book online than at the counter.
But keep in mind that if you have booked onlineyou won't be able to exchange your ticket (if it rains, for example)...
Indeed, a day in the park with the weather not cooperating can be less enjoyable...
Note that there are also special rates for people with reduced mobility, large families or school groups.
Park opening times
Schedules vary a lot!
The park is closed in winter and starts opening at weekends in the off-season.
In high season, the park runs at full capacity, but opening times vary from week to week and weekend to weekend.
Check the calendar carefully because every day is different: https://www.portaventuraworld.com/fr/horaires-calendrier
A good idea: plan your stay online!
On the park's website, you can integrate several options, including whether you're with friends or family, or how much time you have on site.
From there, you can draw up a schedule of what you're going to visit: https://www.portaventuraworld.com/fr/destination/planifier

Around PortAventura World
The Catalan region around the park is magnificent!
If you'd like to discover some pretty little villages, I recommend Reus and Cambrils.
If you're looking for a larger city (but with a much smaller population than Barcelona), Tarragona is the place to go, and the seaside resort is also well worth a visit!
