Arriving during busy times

During certain events, like Fires and Temps de flors, the city is absolutely packed, so it takes some wisdom to arrive by car. Of course, arriving by train is not a problem. Bear in mind:

  • you may not be able to drive through the old city, Barri Vell, to the door of the apartment, as sometimes roads are blocked for musicians, installing things etc
  • you may book a place in a parking nearby, just 10 min away:  https://www.saba.es/ca/parking-girona/parking-saba-berenguer-i-carnicer
  • I recommend you to unload your staff in a location nearby. A good choice is Oficina de correus, which is about 5 minutes walk, on the opposite side of the river. There is some space on the side of the roundabout – but not on the taxi parking!
  • Don’t try to leave the car there. Always leave someone in charge.
  • Leave someone keeping the luggage.
  • Try to park. Depending on the hour, it can be difficult (worse would be Saturday afternoon). Try: “Mercadona: Avinguda de França, 12, 17007 Girona”, the parking zone of the supermarket, or Caprabo, Carrer de Pedret. It is about 20 minutes walk from the apartment.
