Regulation of the Zona Bus

Internal mobility of tourist vehicles

In Barcelona, there are different areas where tourist coaches can park and stop. These areas make up the “Zona Bus”. The City Council has reviewed it and created the Zona Bus 4.0 to improve the current model and reduce the impact of buses in certain areas of the city.

In terms of visitor mobility, Barcelona offers a good range of infrastructure and services, including specific services for tourists, such as the cable car and the tourist bus. The City Council has reviewed the fee for the use of coach parking, and the municipal government’s intention is for the average prices paid by these vehicles to increase fourfold, rising from around €20 per day currently to approximately €80. 

In 2023, there were over 156,000 such operations in the city across the 222 designated parking spaces, with approximately 69,000 for pickup and drop-off and the remaining 87,000 for parking. This generated nearly one million euros in revenue for the municipal coffers, a figure that could rise to over four million euros.
