If you want to find parking in\u00a0Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0you will have to\u00a0plan ahead. Apart from much of downtown being pedestrianized, there is limited on-street parking and\u00a0although there are a large number of parking lots,\u00a0they\u00a0fill up quickly. But if you know where to look you can find decent parking spots in Barcelona where you can leave your car securely and have quick access to everything this dynamic and creative city has to offer.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND ON-STREET PARKING<\/b><\/h2>\n

You can find metered on-street parking in the city\u2019s blue and green zones but generally, you can only park there for a maximum of 4 hours or as little as 1 hour. The green zones are mainly used by residents and have shorter maximum time limits. If you are parking in a loading bay\u00a0(marked with yellow\u00a0zigzags)\u00a0be sure to move your vehicle before 8 a.m.; otherwise you could meet the tow truck! In\u00a0addition\u00a0be careful not to park in front of peoples\u2019 garages, in places where you might be obstructing vans that need to unload, or behind public garbage bins where the garbage collectors would park to empty them.<\/p>\n

\"Barcelona<\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND PARKING GARAGES<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are many parking garages throughout the city and although they come at a premium, they often offer 24\/7 security.\u00a0Most parking garage spaces can be reserved online, which we recommend in Barcelona as the garages can quickly fill up. You can find three major parking garages that are fully secure in Gran Via,\u00a0Urgell, and Augusta.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO PARK FOR FREE<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are some spots in the city where you can park for free, for example in many areas of\u00a0Montju\u00efc. We recommend you try to find a safe spot that is not too secluded and make sure there is no upcoming event in the area as again, the tow truck! Here are some top free parking areas in the city, close to Barcelona\u2019s top visitor attractions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Try the residential zone in La\u00a0Segrera, which has many spaces with no time limits.<\/li>\n
  • Many shopping centres have\u00a0free parking with a time limit.\u00a0La\u00a0Maquinista\u00a0is a particularly good spot with\u00a024-hour parking\u00a0lots\u00a0both underground and outside.<\/li>\n
  • The\u00a0National Museum of Art Catalonia\u00a0in the\u00a0Montju\u00efc area has free parking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    PARK & RIDE LOCATIONS<\/b><\/h2>\n

    B:SM has a park and ride system in Barcelona and although\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not as cheap as other cities\u2019 park and ride options, it does offer an excellent parking solution and you can use the public transportation with the same ticket. You can find a map of the park and ride garages on the B:SM website but the main sites are at\u00a0Pla\u00e7a\u00a0For\u00fam, Rius\u00a0i\u00a0Taulet, and Sant Genis\u00a0i\u00a0Marqu\u00e9s\u00a0de\u00a0Mulh\u00e0cen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
