The best time to visit PortAventura is a week day, with weekends and public holidays seeing a rush to the park which can result in some lengthy queues. PortAventura can be easily reached from Salou with a short bus, taxi, or roadtrain ride. A taxi from Salou to the park costing between 4 and 5 euros.
PortAventura is also a great place to visit over Christmas and Halloween, where the park is transformed with some PortAventura magic. Halloween sees the park in ghoulish detail. Do not be surprised to see zombies and mummies strolling around the park with you. No expense is spared with the detail and in some places it may just get a little too realistic so have your wits about you.
Christmas at PortAventura is a magical time with snow covered buildings and illuminations, not forgetting Santa himself making sure everyone has an unforgettable time.
The Dragon Khan roller coaster with its 8 inverted loops towers above the landscape and is often the first glimpse visitors to Salou have of the theme park.
As well as the rides there are also up to 100 shows a day, From the Wild West Stunt Show to Chinese acrobats, you'll be amazed at the variety and entertainment. One show not to be missed is Fiestaventura, a pyrotechnical extravaganza which has been named "Best Live Show in the World". All the shows have that special PortAventura detail.
