A lesser-known Europe’s Leading Theme Park for 2025 has emerged victorious at the prestigious World Travel Awards, beating out popular contenders. Located in sunny Spain, the winning park, Puy du Fou España, is situated in Toledo, approximately an hour south of Madrid. The park is a unique attraction that offers immersive historical shows and experiences, in contrast to traditional theme park offerings like rollercoasters.
Puy du Fou España showcases spectacular shows such as “A Pluma y Espada” and Cetrería de Reyes during the day, providing visitors with a glimpse into Spain’s rich history and cultural heritage. Guests can explore meticulously detailed villages within the park, each representing a different historical era, from medieval crafts in La Puebla Real to a 1544 farming village in Villanueva del Corral.
In the evening, visitors can witness the grand spectacle of El Sueño de Toledo, a 70-minute show that delves into the history of Spain with a focus on Toledo. The show features a large cast of actors, historic sets, fireworks, and special effects, creating a captivating experience for all.
Aside from the theme park, visitors are encouraged to explore the city of Toledo itself, known for its Roman origins and diverse cultural influences. Toledo boasts iconic landmarks such as the Toledo Cathedral, Alcázar of Toledo, and Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, all showcasing stunning architecture and historical significance.
Toledo’s old town, Casco Historico, offers a charming atmosphere with its winding medieval streets, quaint cafes, and bustling market squares. Admission prices for Puy du Fou España vary but generally start around €30 (£26) for adults and €24 for children when booked in advance.
