It includes six thematic zones inspired by the culture and traditions of different countries and regions: China, Polynesia, Wild West, Mexico, Mediterranean. For the youngest guests, there is a Sesame-Aventura children's area. There are no dangerous attractions and serious age restrictions, and animators work in costumes of everyone's favorite animated characters. Every child can find something to their liking there.

Each of the themed areas of Port Aventura has its own unique infrastructure. For example, in the Mediterranean, made in the spirit of a coastal fishing village, you can find many cafes, shops and souvenir shops. At the same time, there is one of the most extreme rides, which in 3.5 seconds develops a speed of up to 135 km / h.
In the Wild West zone, you can ride an old wooden train and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of American westerns. In Mexico, in addition to the colorful ruined Mayan pyramids and authentic restaurants with Mexican cuisine, there is a 115 m high tower from which a “free fall” is carried out.

Port Aventura is located 105 km from Barcelona. From the city you can comfortably get to the amusement park by train - there is a railway station near the entrance to Port Aventura. Sometimes a train ticket from Barcelona includes entry to an amusement park - the price is cheaper than buying everything separately.

The best price is offered by the drivers of the branded bus, which departs from the neighboring city of Salou. Buses of the Bus Plana transport network also depart to Port Aventura from the resort towns of Cambrils, Reus, La Pineda and Tarragona. This is a great way to get to your destination inexpensively. Travel time will be about one and a half hours. In order to take the bus, you need to find stops in the city. Only a few stops in the city are reserved for a special bus heading to the park. You have to make your own way to these stops. This can be done by using the city passenger transport network or by taking a taxi. If you are not familiar with Spanish and prefer to use your leisure time to relax in the park, instead of orienteering lessons in an unfamiliar city, order an individual transfer - a car with a driver.
