Salou, Spain skyline: the 15 most iconic buildings and best views in Salou

Nice theme park very spacious and organised. Very long queues and sometimes the rides get out off order due technical problems ( happened with us in several of them ) Food are overpriced for the quality and quantity and they charge a fee for the cup all the time . The shows are good decoration amazing area clean and organised. Worth a visit but you need to have patience for queues in every were

Great experience for both adults and kids (8/10 y). We arrived on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. A little bit crowded for top attractions but in 2 day we can touch them all. We had also checked at their hotel and I would strongly recommend, as you have 30min in advance exclusivity to the park in the morning before opening hours

We, family of 4 (with an 8 and a 3 yo) were nicely surprised by this amusement park. We went in November during All Saints holidays and there was hardly any waiting time at the rides. Staff was really well made up for Halloween event, and the park was really nicely decorated. The only minor thing to improve would be to put a sign on the parking lot to remind people that it is forbidden to bring food and drinks to the park. An amazing experience to repeat longer next time!

Super fun for all the family. There are a lot of attractions for small and big. Buy tickets in advance. There is a lot of people during the week and even more during the weekend. So you need to prepare yourself for a lot of queues to attractions or buy fast pass additionally, then you will not need to wait. Check the condition of fast pass as for example you will not be able to do one attraction every 15 min but you will need to have a 2h break. Don't forget to take sun cream as the is a lot of sun and not a lot of shadows. Food is not so good as there is a lot of people but it is eatable. Think to take a hotel in the park as there might be tickets to park and fast pass included and at the end it might be cheaper. If you will not get hotel in the park you will need to wait for the entrance to park a lot.

Amazing and very large park. If you want to ride all the thrill rides then you have to buy the express pass. Otherwise you have to stay in lines for hours and you will be absolutely disappointed and same goes for ferrari land. Puy the express pass before visiting because they will sell out fast even on weekdays.

Too much waiting time. Why sell more tickets than there is space available for attractions? The reason is money — visitors’ comfort clearly isn’t the priority. Many queues are not shaded, and waiting under the sun quickly turns into a nightmare. On the positive side, the toilets are well-organized and clean. The shops, however, could be more reasonably priced given the high entrance fee. Overall, the park is beautiful and generally well-maintained.

This was a fantastic experience. There was lost of fantastic rides and areas to visit. Would suggest the 10 ticket fast pass for those on their first visit as the more popular rides can be a bit of a wait. However, there are plenty of rides for the family and not too long a queue. For them. The kids area "Seseme Street" was amazing for all not just the younger kids. Can't wait to go again.

Closed due to building works.

unfortunately it was closed due to restoration works. While we couldn’t go inside, it was still impressive to see from the outside — a beautiful structure with great historical charm. It’s a shame we missed the full experience, but it’s good to know it’s being preserved for the future. We hope to return one day when it’s open again!

I am an art lover , and I have visited this gallery twice . On the first visit, the gift shop was closed , and when I stood at the door of the gallery with my son we were ignored by the male attendant inside who saw us, but was walking around talking on his mobile , so we waited for a while outside and then left, assuming the gallery was closed too .On my next attempt to visit there were several people outside the gift shop which was, again, closed . I entered the gallery this time and felt very unwelcome . My every movement was watched by the male attendant and when I asked simple questions, for example I wanted to buy a postcard of the poster of the last exhibition which I 'd missed I was told ,"no". And when I asked if I could come back and take pictures as there were no postcards ,I was told ,"no" . There was no smile, or helpfulness at any time .There should also be signs directing visitors to the gallery, and opening hours clearly displayed for the gift shop ! What a bad visitor experience .I think that the male attendant does not want anyone to visit this gallery .

Beautiful architecture. Can only imagine what the inside of those houses looked like! The memories of past generations alive even today.

Today it is Thursday at 18:44 and it is closed. However, Torre Vella de Salou appears to be spectacular from the onside.

It was closed, but I don't think it something very special

Can't wait to go back

Fantastic Day Out at the Water Park We had a fab day out—our kids absolutely loved it! We chose to go on a slightly cloudy day, which worked out perfectly for our youngest (age 5), as it made the heat more bearable. As expected during peak season, the queues were long—around 60 minutes for the popular attractions—but that’s to be expected in August. The park itself was very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of facilities including toilets, lockers, and lots of food and drink options. For lunch, we spent €85 for our family of five. That included 3 junior meals (pizza, chips, pudding, and a drink) and 2 adult meals (fish & chips, and chicken & chips). Food was decent, and service was efficient. Overall, a great family day out. The kids had a blast and will definitely sleep well tonight.

Amazing amusement park! Would definitely go back sometime. The best advice is to buy express pass, as the waiting time for each attraction is between 40-60 minutes. We have visited the park on 16th October and it was so so crowded

PortAventura is full of variety and well worth the visit — but a little planning makes the day smoother with a tip. Bring a refillable bottle, as there are fountains around the park to top up. You’ll need at least 5–6 hours to cover the rides, especially with waiting times. The Express Pass really depends on when you go — we visited on a Tuesday at the end of September and rarely waited more than 30 minutes, though some rides did creep up to 50+ minutes at peak times. A good tip is to go for rides during or just after typical lunch hours, when queues are often much shorter.

Love this theme park . One of the best actual themed parks I've been too . The rides are all amazing. Although have to say was a bit disappointed with uncharted...it could have been so much better. The AR mine train was amazing with the serpents flying over your head. Not been here for 10 years and didn't see many changes or new rides since last time. But still great and my 5 time here

Fantastic Port Aventura World This park has incredible rides, we loved it with my son. Our favourite was Furious Baco ! It was the 1st of January this year, so was not too crowded and a FANTASTIC way for us to begin the year. We will back we loved this park!

Great place with many joyful experiences. There are thrills for all desires. Definitely advise to visit if you like rollercoasters and other exciting experiences. Best to go there in off-season when kids are back to school to avoid long queues. If attending during holiday breaks definitely think about express pass to enjoy there rides and not standing in wait.

From the moment you are inside the park, everything is fantastic. All the staff we met were very kind and helpful, and the attractions themselves are amazing. If you find the waiting times too long, you can purchase an Express Pass to skip the lines. We bought the Express Unlimited, which gave us unlimited access to the 10 most popular roller coasters without waiting. Thanks to this, we managed to experience the whole park in just one day. We actually ended up visiting for three days because we enjoyed it so much, but it’s definitely possible to do it all in a single day with the Express option. The only real downside was the process before entering the park. Parking was smooth, but we wanted to redeem our free entry (thanks to our Efteling annual pass) at Guest Relations. At first, we couldn’t figure out where to go and couldn’t find staff to help us, except those in the ticket booths with massive queues. After waiting in line, we were sent from one place to another (in total, SIX times) before finally meeting another couple with an Efteling annual pass who kindly showed us where Guest Relations was. Unfortunately, it wasn’t just us: we later spoke to several other Efteling pass holders who had the exact same frustrating experience. It’s really not great that so many staff members were unable (or unwilling) to guide guests properly. Just imagine this lack of hospitality and helpfulness being your very first impression. Apart from that, PortAventura is an absolutely fantastic park that we would happily recommend and return to.

Such a lovely Church!!! I recommend to visit it. I adore its Catholic figures and paints which are remarkably Beautiful!!🙏❤

Beautiful local church offering services in Spanish and Catalan at 1000 and 1200

Beautiful ancient church.

This church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of the Sea, is the oldest church in Salou.

Lovely and peacefull church in a leafy quite street with a lovely service

Lovely old Spanish Church, very close to the sea.

Amazingly beautiful church near the beach in Salou.

Cala Penya Tallada is a beautiful hidden cove with clear water and rocky surroundings – perfect for a peaceful swim or to enjoy nature away from the crowds.

Lovely secluded quiet beach. Water is crystal clear and snorkeling is fun. No public toilets / bar / cafe but was two minutes from our hotel so all was good.

Nice headland looking south over salou. Beautiful at sunset. Boat Trips make this headland a destination for snorkeling. There are a few places to eat…. Try and ignore the high-rise hotels scattered about the place. #ramblingstampcollectors

Very nice view

You don't have to go deep to see a lot of fish but along the rocks to the left is great for snorkeling 🤿👍

Great beach with blue water and some amazing views. Went on a sunday but we managed to find a quiet place on the left side.

Was very nice and cool 😎

Myself and my family visited the fountain which is absolutely FREE to watch and doesn't get overly crowded however the music and light show is only on for 15 mins and starts at 10pm most days.i wouldn't say its worth sitting and waiting for because at that time of night the cold winds blowing in from the sea but if your in the area around 10pm its worth a watch with the kids.

Beautiful large fountain that makes water dance. In the evening when it is dark, it is really nice with all kinds of colors. Nice for the pictures

Really good, not the best fountain or light show i have seen. The music was more like a horror film than a celebration. But worth a watch.

Great trail of Fountains first time in 3 years we've finally seen them working

The fountain wasn't working to full capacity when we visited but it is a nice area to visit.

Nice lights show and good environment to chill out on the night A most watch when you visit Salou

Beautiful place. Full of life.

An intresting monument it's located on the promenade on the beach front, its a very large piece however I don't think they make the most of it, it is subscribed on in Spanish as you would expect however there is no translation to let you know what it's about, it has small fountains around it however in a fortnight we never saw them on, the lighting on it seems poor aswell

A nice lively spot to meet and mingle👍

It's a monument on the sea front at Salou. Not much more to say!

Great place for tourists! Plenty of attractions, restaurants, shops, toilets nearby and great transport links! Highly recommended

Foto obligada. Esta en el pasaje central. el cual debe ser arreglado, restaurado, y mantenerse limpio. Salou (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈlɔw]) is a municipality of the comarca of Tarragonès, in the province of Tarragona, in Catalonia, Spain. The city is approximately 10 km from Tarragona and Reus on the Costa Daurada and 112 km from Barcelona. Founded by the Greeks in the 6th century B.C., the coastal town was a notable commercial port during medieval and modern ages. Throughout the 20th century, Salou became an important European tourist attraction. Aside from its string of beaches interrupted by rocky coves, and its landscaped promenade, one of its main attractions is the PortAventura World resort. The Dutch movie Costa! and the television series with the same title were both filmed in Salou.

Good area to be in but not that impressive tbh just walked past it without really noticing it. Located next to a great beach though and fab views

Nice place in Spain to have fun and good holidays. There's nice and clean beach.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the beautiful historic homes that overlook the Salou seafront, just before the Nautical Club. They represent a very well preserved reminder of the noble houses that have embellished this part of the town with their elegance and austerity for about a century. Very elegant and well maintained, they are a pleasure to behold. (Original) È una delle stupende dimore storiche che si affacciano sul lungomare di Salou, poco prima del Club Nautico. Rappresentano un assai ben conservato ricordo delle case nobiliari che da circa un secolo impreziosiscono con la loro eleganza e austerità questa parte dell’abitato. Molto signorili e ben manutenute, sono un piacere alla vista.

Beautiful house

(Translated by Google) One of the beautiful historic residences that embellish the elegant seafront of Salou. The building is notable, as is the surrounding wall and the greenery of the garden. The typical finishes with decorative tiles are striking, reminiscent of traditional Andalusian ones. Pleasant residences to admire, even if only from the outside, architectural gems of one of the most well-kept seafronts we have seen. (Original) Una tra le bellissime residenze storiche che impreziosiscono l’elegante lungomare di Salou. Notevole l’edificio, come pure il muro di cinta e il verde del giardino. Colpiscono le tipiche rifiniture con piastrelle decorative, che ricordano quelle tradizionali andaluse. Piacevoli residenze da ammirare, sia pur solo all’esterno, gemme architettoniche di un lungomare tra i più curati che abbiamo visto.

(Translated by Google) Let's see, this is a private house that, in principle, can't be visited. You can only see it from the outside, and more or less, since it has a very high fence... so, not much. I'm about to make the owners an offer to exchange it for my house plus a little money... 🤔 (Original) A ver, esto es una casa privada que en principio no se puede visitar. Sólo puedes verla por fuera desde la calle y más o menos ya que tiene una valla muy alta... osea que poca cosa. Yo estoy por hacerles una oferta a los dueños de cambiárselo por mi casa más un poco de dinero... 🤔

(Translated by Google) Casa Bonet is without a doubt the most impressive and beautiful building in all of Salou. Located directly on the beach promenade, it immediately draws attention with its elegant façade, ornate ornamentation, and imposing architecture. Every detail—from the curved balconies to the intricate ironwork and colorful tiles—exhibits the influence of Catalan Modernism at its finest. The villa appears like a work of art set between the sea and palm trees, reminiscent of the grand turn-of-the-century houses in Barcelona. Even though it is privately occupied and not open to the public, the view alone is worthwhile. Anyone strolling along Salou's promenade cannot miss Casa Bonet—it is the true heart and symbol of historic Salou. (Original) Die Casa Bonet ist ohne Zweifel das beeindruckendste und schönste Gebäude in ganz Salou. Direkt an der Strandpromenade gelegen, zieht sie mit ihrer eleganten Fassade, den kunstvollen Ornamenten und der imposanten Architektur sofort alle Blicke auf sich. Jedes Detail – von den geschwungenen Balkonen über die kunstvollen Schmiedearbeiten bis hin zu den farbigen Fliesen – zeigt den Einfluss des katalanischen Modernisme in seiner edelsten Form. Die Villa wirkt wie ein Kunstwerk zwischen Meer und Palmen und erinnert an die großen Häuser der Jahrhundertwende in Barcelona. Auch wenn sie privat bewohnt und nicht zugänglich ist, lohnt sich allein der Anblick. Wer die Promenade von Salou entlangspaziert, kommt an der Casa Bonet nicht vorbei – sie ist das wahre Herzstück und Symbol des historischen Salou.

(Translated by Google) An attraction to be seen from the outside. You don't go inside. The building is extremely beautiful and colorful. It is visible when walking along the promenade.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Spanish architecture, wonderful decorations... (Original) Piękna Hiszpańska architektura, cudowne zdobienia...

An amazing find. Stone building lit up during the night time which you can explore. Independent market stalls with jewellery, handmade items and clothing. A small bar and seating area in the middle. So relaxing and chilled. A great vibe Our daughter loved the small play area

Great relaxed place . modest and perfectly priced. Surrounded by a nigh craft market. Much better than the other boisterous bars around

A very interesting looking place but seems a bit deserted, I have seens no guides/tours and information availble is almost non-existent. You can only guess the purpose of those buildings.

Great place to come with children. Play area. Nice cocktails and ambience

Great place to bring young kids, esp. during Christmas

There is only 4 stalls left I hope they can recover and build this back up to what it was 5 years ago!

Small place could do with a bigger area as it was packed with customers food was really nice. Xx

Stayed for 6 days. I know you get what you pay for so some good and bad. Food was ok, just not very hot. Inclusive drinks dont hardly include most spirits. We were there for 6 days. The room was not cleaned once. We had clean towels and beds made, but that was it. Ended up buying bleach. The pool was very cold, and you had to buy a sundowner mat. The reception staff were rude, acted like they didn't want to help or speak to you. Bar, restaurant staff were lovely. The entertainment team were great, made sure they entertainmed the kids and the adults. Cheap holiday with all the basics, but don't expect anything else

I stayed at Inter 2 in Salou for 5 nights with my two young children, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The apartment across the road we wore put in even though I had booked the hotel. The room was in a terrible condition. There was a constant unpleasant smell throughout, the doors were dirty, and the beds were broken the bars underneath offered no support, making them uncomfortable and unsafe. The sofa bed was absolutely filthy. It was in such a disgusting state that I wouldn’t even sit on it myself, let alone allow my children anywhere near it. To make matters worse, there were signs of bed bugs, which made the entire stay even more unbearable.We are covered in bed bug bites. The bathroom had a persistent foul odor coming from the toilet, which was never resolved. Rubbish bags were only collected once during our 5-night stay, adding to the overall poor hygiene with two small children. This accommodation is not maintained to an acceptable standard and is completely unsuitable for families. For the health, comfort, and safety of guests, I cannot recommend Inter 2 to anyone and would strongly advise booking elsewhere in Salou.

We arrived on 20th September and when we walked into our room it was nothing like the pictures. We went to reception and they offered another room but on the same floor, we took it because it was a lot better than the last one but still horrible. Everywhere was dirty and the smell in the room made me feel sick. We decided to try out the food for dinner, there were max 3 options of food to choose from, all cold and dry food. The hotel manager was not helpful at all, didn’t care about what we thought. We ended up moving hotels for the rest of our holiday because we just couldn’t stay here, would NOT recommend!!

Stayed here for 4 nights with 3 teenagers self catering and for what we paid it was absolutely fine. They had messed up our booking and put us in an apartment across the road but gave us free breakfast. Room was clean and adequate. Reception staff were all lovely. Lots of choice for breakfast, only gripe was that it was abit cold. Entertainment was great. We used both pools and there was a lovely atmosphere around both. Only bad thing was that you could hear people in the corridor at night. However there are lots of signs up telling people to be quiet after 11pm so not really the hotels fault.

This hotel is a great location for the main strip and beach. Strip is down the road and main beach is 15 min walk (small cove beaches are nearer too) the hotel itself is ok. Room was clean and tidy and maintained regularly. Staff in the reception and bar areas are friendly and very helpful. The restaurant staff are pleasant but on watching how some guests treat them and the restaurant it's no wonder the poor folks some times come across as miserable in other reviews. The food is ok, you can find something to eat from the selection available. Some mains where a little questionable and we made other choices. Drinks on all inclusive are not everything available but there was plenty to choose from and you can get a discount on what wasn't included. A few cocktails included would have made it a lot better. Pool area is good but loungers do get taken early on and are difficult to find later in the day should you try. Entertainment is very repetitive and very dated, music was a selection of about 20 songs on repeat every single day (sports bar varied the music they played and was so much better). Kids did get involved in a few of the daytime activities and a few shows brought in. It can be a little loud at night but this didn't affect us too much. In summary great location but cheap and cheerful and in need of a few updates and improvements.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Place is a joke. All inclusive does not mean all inclusive. Food was pathetic not even a meal for the kids. Staff not friendly. Rooms are a not in great condition. If your looking for a sub standard hotel this is for u.

We have just come back from a weeks stay here with friends and loved it. x4 13 year old girls and 7 over 30's (Family and Friends) The pictures don't really do this hotel any justice. Its much larger than it looks and offers plenty of entertainment and a few hidden gems... If you get an apartment you'll be over the road but there is a lovely quiet pool which not many know about at the back. There is also a bar on the back on the dining area called 'The Beer Garden' its open to the public via a small entrance off the main road but doesn't get busy. You can use your all inclusive here and have a few games of pools, darts or air hockey. It was a great find. Animation team kept everybody entertained from morning till night. The food is limited but the quality was above par... When you can feed so many fussy people and everyone enjoyed it, You're on the right path. The location was great to. 2 minute walk to the main strip (The quiet side) nice stroll down to the main beach via the strip taking about 20 minutes passing all sorts of shops, bars and restaurants. Our only issue was the plastic cups you get. If you lose it you have to pay 2 euro to replace. Its just painful carrying it around and running back to your room when you want to go out. 99% positive. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.
