The city is also a popular beach resort, with a number of sandy beaches and a lively nightlife.

Tips to make the most out of your PortAventura World visit

  • Avoid high-heeled boots or shoes. If you prefer open footwear, consider sandals that strap securely to your feet. While flip-flops are allowed on-site, they aren't permitted on some rides. Some rides have drawers where you can leave your flip-flops while you enjoy the attraction.
  • Comfort is key, so wear lightweight clothes like shorts, T-shirts, or leggings. Polyester is light-weight and dries faster than cotton, making it a great choice.
  • Protect yourself from the sun! Carry sunglasses, a hat/cap, and sunscreen—even on cloudy days, UV rays can cause sunburn. A secure backpack or cross-body bag is ideal for essentials.
  • Saturday and Sunday are the most popular days for families, so the park will generally be more crowded. It's better to visit during the week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday), as long as these days don't align with a public holiday. Check the school calendars in Spain and France, as many visitors come from these nearby areas. Expect the park to be busier in the summer, on long weekends, during Easter, and at special events like Halloween.
  • Popular rides like Dragon Khan and Shambhala attract long lines. Ride them early in the morning or around lunchtime for shorter waits. Keep an eye on information boards for real-time queue updates.
  • There are height restrictions for some rides, but no restrictions for others. For example, children who can walk can ride Furius Baco and Tami-Tami, but there is a 1.40-meter height restriction for El Templo del Fuego.
  • PortAventura’s entertainment is as impressive as its rides! Arrive 20 minutes early to get a good seat. In summer, you get the best view in the mornings and if you stay until closing you get to enjoy the spectacular fireworks displayed over the lake.
  • Capture memories of your ride on Dragon Khan or your peak moment on Shambhala. Choose from photos, magnets, keychains, or USB wristbands. On rides with Videoride, you can even buy a DVD of your thrilling experience.
