Parque Warner Madrid is the city's number one theme park. It brings to live superheroes, Warner Brothers cartoons, and Hollywood characters.
It's easy to reach from Madrid. Board the C3 line of the Cercanías trains and get off at the Pinto station. Then catch the 413 bus from 'La Veloz', which will drop you at the entrance to Parque Warner.
By car, get on the A-4 highway and take exit 22, and follow the signs.
