Imagine if on your honeymoon you could set sail aboard a majestic yacht, stroll down a cobblestone alley beneath a medieval castle, sip wine in the shade of a world renowned vineyard walls and see some of the finest artwork ever created. Sounds like a wonderful escape and a great way to start off your marriage, doesn’t it?

Now what would you say if this could all be but one day of your itinerary? Well, it could be, if you and your spouse choose to honeymoon in beautiful, historical Croatia!

In Croatia, you can enjoy both untouched, expansive scenery from rolling hills to mighty mountains to the picture perfect villages, or you can dance until dawn and enjoy world class shopping and the finest array of cuisines in the capitol, Zagreb, a lively metropolis of more than three quarters of a million people. Or a yacht charter; Croatia has a vast coast line, too!

Croatia offers its visitors both a glimpse of Old Europe, with restored castles and ancient cities dotting its picturesque landscape, with all the charm and history of any of its European neighbors, as well all the comforts and amenities of the most up to date modern conveniences. You can have the best of both worlds, the Old and the Modern, in lovely Croatia.

And what better way to see a country that boasts so much beautiful coastline — hundreds and hundreds of miles of rugged cliffs and perfect beaches lining the Mediterranean sea — than by boat?

When you and your spouse arrange for a yacht charter Croatia spreads its beauty before you from the deep blue seas. There truly is no better way to explore this lovely land than by traveling up and down its coast and visiting both the continental mainland and also its many wonderful islands. With a yacht  charter Croatia becomes a country of both the land and the sea. Where else can you spend time in breathtaking mountains with views down to the Mediterranean sea below and then in hardly any time at all be sailing across the seas and looking back up at rugged mountains dotted with centuries old villages, churches and castles?

Croatia is a land that invites you to enjoy it in your own way. If you and your spouse want a relaxed honeymoon, there are beautiful beaches and resorts and the finest spas in Europe at your disposal. If you wish to start your marriage off with rugged outdoor activities, such as hiking and cycling in the summer and world class skiing in winter, you can do that too! And don’t forget about the sea — a yacht charter, Croatia’s coast line at sunset, and a bottle of local wine — perfection!

Parque Warner Madrid is suitable for all ages. It is divided into themed worlds, according to Hollywood models. You can find here DC Superhéroes World (become your favourite superhero for a few hours), Cartoon Village (meet your favourite characters in mad situations), Old West Territory (stroll down the dusty streets of the Old West), Hollywood Boulevard (Take a stroll down the magical streets of Hollywood) and Warner Bros. Studios (a real movie set with real live action).

The perfect solution for the lovers of adrenaline is the Super Heroes World. The smallest visitors will love the Cartoon Village. Among the most popular attractions is the roller coaster “Superman: la Atracción de Acero”, which has 7 inversions and is 50 meters high. Furthermore, there are other roller coasters “Batman La Fuga” with 5 inversions and “Stunt Fall” with 3 inversions.

Very interesting is also a wooden roller coaster “Coaster Express” which is located in the section of the park called “Old West Territory” (formerly known as the “Wild Wild West”). If you like free fall you should try “La Venganza del Enigma”. The three water rides belong to the best one in the category.

Parque Warner Madrid is open from early March to December, but opening hours vary, so it is best to check Parque Warner Madrid official website before visiting the park. The basic daily admission fee is 38,00 €.
