The conceptually unusual Ferrari Land Port Aventura is an exclusive theme park dedicated to the world-famous Italian brand Ferrari. Here, adults and children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the history of one of the most prestigious automobile brands in the world. Divided into several zones and equipped with a wide variety of attractions, Ferrari Land today is considered the most popular park in the world. Perhaps only the Ferrari World of the same name, opened in the UAE in 2010, can be compared with it. Actually, it was only thanks to its wild popularity that it was decided to open the second Ferrari Land in the world, but already in Europe.
Location of the Ferrari Land Port Aventura
Ferrari Land is located in a larger park called Port Aventura, the first largest in the Mediterranean and the second in Europe. It, in turn, is located in the vicinity of Barcelona (100 km), in the city of Salou, on the Costa Daurada. The easiest way to get there is from the capital of Catalonia by bus or train. Also, almost on the coast there is a Reus airport, but a direct flight from Russia to fly there is very problematic.
History of the creation of Ferrari Land
In 2010, the first Ferrari Land was opened in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), which has become very popular - up to 5,000,000 people visit it annually. The purpose of the creation was to pay tribute to Enzo Ferrari - the genius who founded the automobile brand, with whose name speed, innovation and technology are associated. Here, every attraction, every detail is designed to convey the mood of Ferrari to guests.
Due to the frenzied popularity of the theme park in the UAE, the founders decided to open a similar entertainment complex in Europe. So, in Spain there was a Ferrari Land Port Aventura, the opening date of which occurred at the beginning of May 2017. 100 million euros were allocated for the construction. Therefore, the amusement park has a well-developed infrastructure, which includes many different objects.
