Europa-Park is a place for shared experiences – for families, groups of friends and visitors from all over the world. Following an amendment to the Smoke-Free Environment Law in Baden-Württemberg, new legal regulations on smoking will apply to theme parks in future.
From 1 June 2026, smoking at Europa-Park will therefore only be permitted in designated smoking areas. The regulation applies to cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, e-shishas, tobacco heaters, water pipes and similar vaping products.
To help guests familiarise themselves with the new situation in good time, designated smoking areas will be set up in the park from the start of the season on 28 March 2026. The locations are clearly marked and can also be found, for example, in the Europa-Park & Rulantica app. We ask all guests to use these areas for smoking and thank you for your understanding.
The state of Baden-Württemberg has extended its measures to protect non-smokers. The smoking ban will now also apply to certain outdoor areas, including theme parks, zoos and outdoor swimming pools. The aim is to protect children, families and other visitors in particular from tobacco smoke, whilst establishing clear rules for public areas. Europa-Park is implementing these legal requirements by creating clearly marked smoking areas.
From now on, smoking will only be permitted in the designated smoking areas. These areas are clearly marked and located throughout the park.
From the start of the season, smoking areas will be available at the following locations:
Guests can find the exact locations in the Europa-Park & Rulantica app and on the printed park map.

Yes. The regulation does not apply only to traditional cigarettes or cigars. It also covers e-cigarettes, e-shishas, tobacco heaters, water pipes and similar products that produce smoke or vapour. These may also only be used in designated smoking areas.
Guests are informed in several ways:
The law will not come into force until 1 June 2026. However, Europa-Park is introducing designated smoking areas right at the start of the season so that guests can familiarise themselves with the new regulations early on.
