Return to location

Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city that offers us a very good atmosphere, good weather, parties and spectacular natural and cultural spaces.

It is an urban city that combines port and beach, mountains, parks, monuments... For this reason, it is not surprising that it has become a reference city to which thousands of people come.

It is the second largest city in Spain in terms of population and extension, so it's very important to have in mind a series of key points.

First, there are low pollution zones or ZBEs in which traffic is limited for the most polluting vehicles. This zone covers the city of Barcelona, except for the Industrial Zona Franca and the neighborhoods of Tibidabo, les Planes y Vallvidrera; l´Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Adrià del Besòs, Cornellà de Llobregat and partly Esplugues.

This low emission zone is restricted from Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 20:00, so those vehicles without a label can access the ZBE from 20:00 to 07:00 on weekdays and weekends. Be careful! On public holidays, vehicles without a label cannot enter the city of Barcelona.

Which vehicles can access it? Those that carry the ZERO, ECO, C or B labels.

The best way to park in Barcelona

Parking in Barcelona, like any big city, is not easy.

Most of its streets have their parking spaces divided into blue areas (Área Blava) and green areas (Área Verda). In the first one you can park, by paying for a maximum of 4 hours without the possibility of extending parking time.

The green areas are reserved for residents of the zone, if you are not a resident you can park your car in this zone for a maximum of 2 hours and at a higher price than in the blue area.
