Barakaldo is a Spanish municipality in the province of Vizcaya, which is located in the autonomous community of the Basque Country. This municipality is located near Bilbao and has approximately 100.000 inhabitants.
The Bizkaia Arena is located in the central area of Bilbao, in the Casco Viejo part of the city. This area is practically pedestrianised, as very few cars enter it and most of them are local residents. It is therefore advisable to find out in advance where you can park your car.
Especially during large events attended by thousands of people, there can be a lot of hustle and bustle in the city with people looking for available parking spaces and parking your vehicle can be a problem. For this reason, we recommend that you reserve a parking space in advance via the website or the Parkimeter app. You can park your car at: SABA ADIF Bilbao Renfe Station.
Other parking options during the events is to look for free spaces on the street, where there are several regulated parking options that are distinguished by their signs and distance from the Bizkaia Arena: A, B and C.
