How we checked this data

The 32 car parks come from OpenStreetMap, queried through the Overpass API on 14 September 2026 within an 800 m radius of the basilica with the amenity=parking tag, plus the 217 bike points with amenity=bicycle_parking in the same radius, and we will review them again on 14 March 2027. We do not publish rates because they change often: each car park displays them at its entrance.

Row 22 is a car-sharing bay: it is listed because OpenStreetMap tags it amenity=parking, you cannot drive your own car in.

Zona Bus: where coaches stop

Tourist coaches do not park next to the basilica. OpenStreetMap lists 5 bays signposted as Zona Bus within the 800 m radius, all paid, between 514 m and 649 m from the Sagrada Familia. If you travel in a group, your driver will drop you at one of them and the rest is on foot.

  • Zona Bus, 514 m
  • Zona Bus, 553 m
  • Zona Bus, 620 m
  • Zona Bus, 628 m
  • Zona Bus, 649 m

Parking a bike

A bike is the easiest thing to park: OpenStreetMap lists 217 bicycle parking points within 800 m of the basilica, and the closest is 95 m from the basilica. Bring a lock: they are street racks and OpenStreetMap does not say whether they are supervised.

Before you take the car

Barcelona has a low emission zone that affects some vehicles: check on the Ajuntament de Barcelona website whether yours can drive in before you come. If you stay in the city, the metro leaves you at the basilica door, with lines L2 and L5 at Sagrada Familia station. The car mainly pays off if you come from outside Barcelona and continue your trip the same day.
