If you’re searching for a Ferrari park in Spain, you’ve found it: Ferrari Land is the only Ferrari-branded theme park in Europe, tucked inside the PortAventura World resort on Spain’s Costa Daurada. It’s a compact, red-and-yellow corner of a much bigger resort, built entirely around the Ferrari brand and its motorsport history.
Ferrari Land opened on April 7, 2017, as the third park within PortAventura World in Salou, Catalonia, about an hour south of Barcelona. Built on roughly 60,000 square meters and themed around Mediterranean and Italian landmarks like Venice’s Piazza San Marco and Rome’s Colosseum, it became the second Ferrari-branded amusement park in the world after Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, developed at a cost of more than €100 million.
Quick Answer
Yes — there is a Ferrari theme park in Spain: Ferrari Land, part of the PortAventura World resort in Salou, on the Costa Daurada south of Barcelona. It’s the second Ferrari-branded park in the world after Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, and it’s home to Red Force, Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster.
The Ride Experience
The park’s headline attraction is Red Force, an Intamin-built launch coaster that opened alongside the park. Standing 112 meters tall and launching riders to 180 km/h in about five seconds, Red Force has held the title of Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster since it opened. It also briefly ranked as the world’s tallest operating full-circuit coaster in late 2024 and early 2025, after Six Flags Great Adventure’s Kingda Ka was permanently closed in November 2024 and demolished by implosion in February 2025, and before Cedar Point’s rebuilt Top Thrill 2 returned to service in May 2025 to reclaim the record.
Red Force dominates the skyline of Ferrari Land, launching its 12-passenger train from 0 to 180 km/h in roughly five seconds before rocketing up a 112-meter top hat tower with a 90-degree twist. With zero inversions and an 880-meter track, the ride is built for pure speed and airtime rather than looping acrobatics, delivering its entire circuit in about 39 seconds. A scaled-down version, Junior Red Force, was added in 2018 for younger riders who aren’t tall enough for the full-size launch coaster.
Beyond the headline coaster, Ferrari Land packs in family attractions themed to the Italian marque, including the Maranello Grand Race flat ride, the drop-tower Thrill Towers, racing simulators, and a museum-style walkthrough tracing Enzo Ferrari’s story and the brand’s motorsport heritage.
A New Chapter for PortAventura
Ferrari Land’s opening prompted the rebranding of the entire resort from PortAventura to PortAventura World, uniting the original PortAventura Park, the Costa Caribe water park, and the new Ferrari-themed park under one banner alongside six hotels and a convention center. The park drew over 700,000 visitors in its debut year and crossed the one-million mark by 2018, cementing it as a major draw on Spain’s Costa Dorada.
Planning Your Visit: Tickets, Hours & Getting There
Ferrari Land can be visited on its own: the official site sells a one-day Ferrari Land-only ticket (from around €17-19 per person depending on age, with a higher walk-up price at the ticket booth), separate from the combined tickets that pair Ferrari Land with PortAventura Park on the same day. Pricing is tiered by season, by how many days you want, and by whether you add the Costa Caribe water park or an annual pass; all of it is cheaper and more flexible when booked online in advance rather than at the gate.
Both parks generally run shorter hours in winter and longer hours in peak summer and holiday periods, and Ferrari Land’s schedule doesn’t always match PortAventura Park’s exactly, so it’s worth checking the calendar for your specific visit date. For current hours, ticket tiers, and any seasonal closures, check the official PortAventura World site, which is also where tickets are sold directly.
If you’re coming from Barcelona, the easiest route is the regional train to Salou-PortAventura station, roughly an hour from Barcelona Sants on Rodalies de Catalunya lines (with faster AVE connections also available); the station sits just a few minutes’ walk from the resort entrance. Drivers can take the AP-7 motorway south from Barcelona and use the resort’s on-site parking.
More Places to Explore at PortAventura World and Beyond
Ferrari Land is just one piece of a much larger resort, so a trip here easily turns into a multi-park visit. PortAventura Park next door covers themed zones from Polynesia to the Far West and Mexico, with its own roster of coasters and family rides, while Costa Caribe is the resort’s tropical-themed water park. Add in six on-site hotels and a convention center, and the whole complex functions as a self-contained vacation destination rather than a single-day stop.
Beyond the resort gates, Salou’s beaches and promenade are a short walk away, and the Roman ruins of Tarragona — a UNESCO World Heritage city — are about a 20-minute drive north, making a good option for a non-park day during a longer trip.
If you’re curious about Ferrari-themed attractions elsewhere, Ferrari Land in Salou and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi are currently the only two Ferrari-branded theme parks in the world, so this one is as close as it gets to the real thing in Europe.
