Car rental in Zaragoza

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.
