But what if we told you that you could take a direct train from Milan and reach an incredible water park that is among the most outstanding in Europe? What would you do? I would advise you to rush to buy train ticket and park entrance ticket if you want to experience something truly unique. You will not regret it.
If I tell you that you will not regret it, trust me because this is a park where anything can happen. Where fun is the watchword. Here you will find 25 adrenaline attractions including the fastest slide in Europe. But not only that there is really an incredible choice to experience unforgettable moments.
Europe’s most incredible water park
This is an out-of-the-ordinary park, perfect for a trip out of town, a long weekend or whatever. The time to get there is quite considerable, about 5 hours either by car or train, as Google Maps shows.
Okay, that sounds like a lot of hours and you will say but why talk on Secret Milano about a water park so far away? Well, first of all because we also recommend destinations outside the city so you can plan a trip, a mini-trip, a ride. And then because this park is really something from outer space.
We are talking about Rulantica, Europe’s most incredible water park located inside Europa Park, the world’s most beautiful amusement park as well as the second most visited in the Old Continent after Disneyland Paris. Not enough to push you to go? Then get this: every day there is a train that leaves from Milan and takes you within walking distance of the park, with no jostling or changes. Not even struggling. EuroCity-Expresses on the Milan-Frankfurt line stop twice a day at the “Ringsheim / Europa-Park” station. This way, especially visitors from the Rhine-Main region, Switzerland and Italy can reach the Europa-Park Resort quickly.
And how does it work?
- Departure around 11:00 a.m.: Milan
- Via Stresa, Domodossola, Brig, Visp, Spiez, Thun, Bern, Olten, Basel SBB, Basel Bad, Freiburg Hbf
- Arrival around 5:00 p.m.: Ringsheim / Europa-Park. Reservations can be made here.
Then once you arrive at Ringsheim/Europa-Park station, you can take a direct bus to Rulantica
Rulantica
The park is a tribute to a ‘magical island created by the Norse God Loki,“an enchanting place filled with lush plants and crystal-clear freshwater streams.” This is the narrative created ad hoc by MackMedia, a Rust Germany-based mass media company, for Rulantica.
As already anticipated here you will find everything and more. Incredible attractions, extraordinary water games in addition to all the fun offered by Europa Park, which we remember is an amusement park with many other attractions, more than 100. 13 roller coasters, shows and bubbly events . The park is open every day except December 24 and 25. But otherwise from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. you can do anything you want. Summer, spring, fall, winter.
Ah because Rulantica is yes the most amazing water park in Europe but it is also covered so there is no problem of cold weather. You just have to worry about having a great time. But not only that. Do you feel like relaxing? Rulantica has a 1,000-square-meter relaxation area including saunas, steam room and more.
Tiredness and appetite are equally satisfied here with as many as 45 restaurants and 6 hotels. Just a happy island to enter and never leave again.
