By Car
Coming into Barcelona along any one of the autopistes , head for the Cinturo Littoral, the southern half of the city's ring road. Following signs for the Port will take you towards the main exit for old town, "Port Vell". There are many indoor car parks in the city centre, and the public ones are linked to display boards which indicate where there are free spaces. Convenient as it may be, parking in one of these is rather expensive (usually about ?15 for 24 hours), and you will likely want to park in the street, which is free , apart from the blue meter-zones in the central section of the Eixample. Street parking is permitted in most areas with the exception of nearly all of the old town, but it can be tough to find spaces, particularly in older areas like Gracia, and be aware that car crime is rife (see "Trouble and the Police"). Don't be tempted to double-park or leave your car in loading zones - the cost of being towed can exceed ?120, and no mercy is shown to foreign-plated vehicles.
