Planning a holiday on the Costa Dorada with family, friends or your partner? Then PortAventura Park is a must on your itinerary! As one of the most exciting theme parks in Europe, it promises thrills, fun and unforgettable moments for all ages.
At Planet Costa Dorada, we don’t just offer you the perfect holiday accommodation – we also want to help you make the most of every minute of your trip. So here are our top tips and insider advice to enjoy your PortAventura experience to the fullest – stress-free and packed with fun!
Located in Vila-seca and Salou, just a short drive from many of our holiday apartments, PortAventura Park is a theme park split into six different themed worlds: Mediterrània, Polynesia, China, Mexico, Far West and SésamoAventura (especially designed for little ones!).
Each area is beautifully themed with its own attractions, shows and restaurants – it’s like taking a trip around the world… but with more roller coasters!
✅ Before You Go: Get Organised Like a Pro
1. Buy your tickets in advance
Skip the queues and save money by purchasing your tickets online. Combo tickets are also available if you plan to visit Ferrari Land or the Caribe Aquatic Park.
2. Arrive early
The park usually opens around 10am, and the first few hours are perfect for beating the crowds and heading straight to the top attractions.
3. Download the official app
The PortAventura app gives you a park map, real-time queue times, and show schedules. Trust us, it’s a lifesaver!
🎡 Inside the Park: What Not to Miss
1. Plan your route
Head first to the big-name rides like Shambhala, Dragon Khan and Furius Baco, then enjoy a more relaxed pace in the themed areas.
2. Travelling with little ones? Don’t miss SésamoAventura!
It’s packed with gentle rides, colourful characters and safe play areas made just for kids.
3. Catch a show or two
From Polynesian dance performances to Western stunt shows, there’s entertainment for all ages. Check showtimes when you arrive and plan accordingly.
4. Take breaks and stay hydrated
The park is big, and you’ll do a lot of walking. Bring a reusable water bottle and make sure to rest often – especially with children.
🍔 Eating at PortAventura
There’s plenty of variety, whether you want a quick snack or a full meal at one of the themed restaurants. And if you prefer more flexibility, you can leave the park (they’ll stamp your hand) and return later.
