Driving and Speed Limits in Barcelona
Driving and Speed Limits in Barcelona
The drivers in Barcelona tend to be more disciplined than those in the rest of Spain. Traffic can get very dense but it is still relatively convenient to drive here.
In fact, it is easier to drive than to park in Barcelona. Parking lots are sparse and car parks are often full. Probably the best idea is to leave your car at Placa de les Glories - here the Metropark Park and Ride scheme gives you the possibility to park your car for EUR 10,40/day and unlimited Metro use included in price.
Car theft is an issue in Barcelona, especially if you arrive with doreign licence plates (or have a rented car for that matter). Always lock your vehicle and do not leave your valuables and documents inside when leaving.
For easier orientation use the two most important roads, Ronda de Litoral and Ronda de Dalt. You will be able to reach most places of interest from these semi-ring roads.
