Perfect for travelers hoping to catch the culture of several European countries in one day, Europa Park aims to give a realistic taste of all of Europe. Aptly named, Europa Park is separated into more than a dozen “countries,” with each area themed as the country it represents. The themed sections are: Adventureland, ARTHUR - In the Minimoys Kingdom, Austria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Grimm's Enchanted Forest, Iceland, Ireland – Children's World, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Scandinavia, Spain, and Switzerland.
Along with authentic food and culture from each country, visitors can encounter themed architecture, as well as rides that offer a feel for the nation. Some examples of themed rides in the park are:
Jungle Rafts: a ride on a tow boat through the African settlement.
Tiroler Log Flume: a thrilling ride through the World of Diamonds in Austria on a traditional log flume.
London Bus: A ride on a magic carpet.
