Look for parking in Palau de la Música Catalana

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, this certainly is a must-see in Barcelona. It’s located in Barcelona’s Ribera district, which is right in the centre of the Catalan capital. Now, this does come with a downside… it can be an absolute nightmare to find somewhere to park! 

Barcelona’s on street parking is divided into two zones, the blue zone and the green zone. In each zone, it’s different prices depending on if you’re a resident or not, and different amounts of time that you can stay… plus these spaces don’t come cheap, and it’s a pretty easy way to get a fine if you’re not very familiar with the city. If you want to avoid all this hassle and stress of first having to look for a parking space, and then having to understand what you’ve got to pay and the different rules then book your parking in advance with Parclick!
