Question 1

How long should we plan to stay?

Accepted Answer

Most families spend 3 to 4 hours here. You can do the main attractions (gladiator combat, a workshop or two, the procession) without rushing, plus grab food at one of the stalls. If your kids want to do every workshop and linger at the archaeological park, add another hour.

Question 2

Do we need to book activities in advance or can we just show up?

Accepted Answer

Some activities need reservations (the family dinner especially), so check the official website closer to the date. Most workshops and the procession are first-come, first-served, but popular ones can fill up mid-afternoon on busy days.

Question 3

What is there to eat?

Accepted Answer

There are over 50 food and craft stalls, with local food alongside the usual fair food. Bring cash because not everywhere takes cards. The family dinner is a sit-down meal with Roman-themed food.

Question 4

What's the drive like from Barcelona?

Accepted Answer

It's about 90 minutes northwest to Guissona depending on traffic. Parking is usually fine since it's a small town, but arrive early if you're going on a weekend day when it's busiest. The archaeological park is walkable from the main festival area.
