Zaragoza by car
Zaragoza stands at the midpoint of the routes joining Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao, which has shaped it into a place people pass through. Mudéjar brickwork and a huge riverside basilica give the Ebro bank a skyline unlike anywhere else in Aragon.
Driving in Zaragoza
Zaragoza is reached by A-2, AP-2, A-23, A-68 and the Z-40 ring road. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Driving through the centre is restricted, so most drivers park on the edge.
Where to park
Kerbside spaces without a meter are rare in central Zaragoza, and most streets have paid parking with a short maximum stay. Paid underground car parks are spread throughout the city and usually have room.
Arriving by road
Motorways towards Huesca, Teruel and Madrid are free to use, whereas the routes to Barcelona, Pamplona and Bilbao are toll highways. Traffic around Zaragoza is fairly light, apart from some weekends and public holidays.
From the airport without a car
Bus 501 links the airport with the city centre, calling at Los Enlaces, Delicias train station and Avenida de Navarra before ending on Paseo de María Agustín. Delicias is the city’s main station, used by both trains and coaches.
