From 13 July, tourist coaches will have to reserve a parking place in the area around the Magic Fountain and pay a parking fee
There will be a total of 65 parking places and reservations will be made via the Zona Bus website, between one and seven days before the visit
This measure aims to help pacify and organise the area surrounding the Magic Fountain on show days
From 13 July, tourist coaches will have to reserve a parking place and pay a fee for parking at the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. The measure, provided for in the tax by-law on regulated parking for vehicles on public highways, “aims to help pacify and organise traffic at this point of great interest and attraction for visitors, and it forms part of various tourist mobility reorganisation measures aimed at minimising impact in areas under the most pressure”, explained Xavier Marcé, the Councillor for Tourism and Creative Industries.
There will be a total of 65 parking places, distributed as follows: 30 on each side of Avinguda Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, and 5 more on Avinguda de Rius i Taulet. In all cases, starting from thirty minutes before the first show on each day, these parking places will act as Zona Bus areas. During the rest of the day, they will be bus lanes (Avinguda Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia) and parking areas (Avinguda Rius i Taulet).
Zona Bus staff will be responsible for providing all necessary instructions to the coaches, before and after the Magic Fountain shows.
This regulation will only be operative during the months with scheduled Magic Fountain shows: from June to October and from the end of December to the end of March. All times can be consulted on the Barcelona City Council website.
Reservations can be made via the Zona Bus website
Parking places in the area around the Magic Fountain can be reserved via the Zona Bus website, between one and seven days before the visit. The parking fee will depend on whether the reservation is made for one or two consecutive shows. Reserving a place for either the first or second show will cost €20, while a reservation for both will cost €30.
Zona Bus, run by Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (B:SM), consists of a series of reserved parking spaces so that tourist coaches can stop or park in the city. They are always located close to locations that attract large numbers of visitors, such as the Sagrada Família, Ciutat Vella, Park Güell and La Pedrera, and they aim to reduce the impact these coaches have on mobility. With the regulation of parking in the area around the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, Zona Bus now has a total of 227 parking places throughout the city.
