A summer weekend at PortAventura World: a comprehensive guide on how to have a great time

Regardless of the time of year you come, spending a weekend at PortAventura World is always a good idea. Of course, if you come in spring, you won’t have the same experience as if you visit us at Christmas or come to celebrate Halloween. Each time of year is unique, so your experience will be completely different depending on the one you choose.

And that also applies right now. Summer is completely different to other times of year: PortAventura Park is open for longer, there’s a greater variety of rides and you’ll be able to enjoy shows that are only performed on those warm summer months.

Want to know how to squeeze every last drop out of a summer weekend at PortAventura World? Keep on reading, as we’ll tell you everything you need to know below. 😎

Spending a weekend at PortAventura World is a great plan for the summer

If you love adventures and experiencing an endless range of emotions, one day at PortAventura World simply isn’t enough. Such is the resort’s range of attractions and possibilities, you’re sure to be left wanting more. And this is precisely why our Hotel + Tickets package is so popular, since it’s one of the best ways to spend a memorable summer weekend.

Water rides: the best way to cool off

Summer is synonymous with heat (sometimes too much!). When the temperatures soar, your best bet is to soak yourself from top-to-bottom. So, between riding the various roller coasters in PortAventura Park, we recommend cooling off on the various water rides distributed around the resort’s six different worlds.

Not only do these rides help you to beat the heat, but you’ll also feel a fantastic adrenaline rush as you scream “Ahhhhh!” on your way down.

If you want to know more about the water rides at PortAventura, we’ll tell you all about them in this post. 😉

Seasonal shows that turn the summer into a genuine spectacle

A weekend at PortAventura World isn’t simply a synonym for adrenaline. There’s much, much more to enjoy. For example, it also boasts an impressively diverse schedule of shows, which are yet another way of experiencing adventures.

Not only are they entertaining, but they are also a fun way to recharge your batteries. If after several hours of fun you find that your body is asking you for a rest, there’s nothing better than sipping on a cool drink and enjoying a bite to eat as you watch one of the park’s entertaining shows.

But do you know what is the best thing of all? In summer, there are even night-time shows. You can find them all here.

Templo del Fuego: a treasure that returns this summer

This popular show-attraction is coming back with a bang this summer. If you come to spend a weekend at PortAventura World, make sure you find the time to experience this one-of-a-kind experience in Europe.

Immerse yourself in the legend of the temple of Xiuhtecuhtli, the Aztec god of fire, and become part of Dr Paulo Pompidur’s expedition. Together, you’ll face fire and a multitude of special effects as you search for the long-lost treasure.

The question is: will you be able to find it?

Eating at PortAventura World: discover a world of new flavours

With so much action, emotion and adrenaline, at some point your body will need to re-fuel. And why not do so by discovering a world of new flavours?

If you’re in the mood for Chinese food, the China area is the place to be. If you fancy a burrito or some tacos, be sure to head to the México area. PortAventura World’s gastronomic offer is extensive, tasty and specific to each of its different worlds. Because variety is the spice of life. What do you want to try first? 😋

Ferrari Land: Italy at its summery best

If you spend a weekend at PortAventura World with the Hotel + Tickets package, you’ll have a 1-day access to Ferrari Land included. This is a unique experience that will show you what it’s like to be a champion driver for the famous Cavallino Rampante.

Stroll through Bella Italia, discover the history of the legendary Italian racing team and feel the adrenaline rush offered by all of the rides. You’re going to be amazed, particularly with Red Force.

Spoiler alert: when you go from 0 to 180 km/h in less than 5 seconds, you’re bound to say “Wow!” when it pulls to a stop.

If you’re a lover of Italian food and exquisite desserts, we recommend having something to eat here. The Ristorante Cavallino serves authentic Italian cuisine, while the Ice Cream Box offers the finest Italian ice creams. Long live gelato!

Caribe Aquatic Park: a paradise of fun

If it gets too hot and you need more water than is provided by the water rides in PortAventura Park, you can always take a trip to the most fun-filled part of the Caribbean.

Not only will you be able to cool off at Caribe Aquatic Park, but you’ll also be able to enjoy all kinds of aquatic experiences: from maximum relaxation to the thrill offered by its big water slides.

If you supplement this with a refreshing juice, a delicious ice cream or a cold slushie, you’ll say goodbye to the heat in a matter of minutes. 😉
