Attention all families and thrill-seekers, you’re bound to have heard of Europa Park at least once. An industry giant, it has just been voted “best theme park in the world” for the ninth time in its history. The icing on the cake: located on the Franco-German border, the leisure complex is only 4 hours by train from the capital!
The world’s best theme park is 4 hours from Paris
We knew that Europa Park was a European reference in terms of leisure activities, but its influence seems to extend well beyond the continent’s borders. That’s right, forget Disneyland, the parc Astérix or the Futuroscope, the real benchmark for theme parks is indeed in Rust, Germany, 45 minutes from Strasbourg. For the ninth time in its history, Europa Park has won the title of best theme park in the world. Awarded by the newspaper Amusement Today, at the Golden Ticket Awards, this prize confirms the interest shown by this leisure complex, already much appreciated by its visitors.
Featuring more than a hundred attractions and shows, the park was crowned for its wide variety of colorful and exciting activities, mixing traditional rides with cutting-edge technology. The jury was also won over by the high quality of the hotel and gastronomic infrastructures on site, guaranteeing a complete experience.
But beyond the supreme title of best park, Europa Park also received an important award, that of best roller coaster in the world. Inaugurated in 2024,Voltron Nevera offers a one-of-a-kind experience, with numerous inversions, a hyper-steep launch and the promise of big thrills.
All in all, a great leisure experience awaits you once you’ve passed through Europa Park’s gates. And all you have to do to get there is take the train!
