Where to park near Madrid City Hall?

If you want to explore the centre of Madrid and visit the City Hall, the best option is to opt for a car park in the old town that offers security and comfort. One of the closest and most convenient is the Saba Estación de Atocha car park. It is located on Paseo de la Infanta Isabel, s/n, 28012, just a 20-minute walk from Madrid's City Hall. This car park is equipped with the Via-T system and allows a maximum height of 2.6 metres, which makes it ideal for vans and minivans.

Another recommended option is the Parking Saba Plaza Mostenses, located at Pl. de los Mostenses, s/n, 28015. This parking space is open 24 hours a day, has spaces for people with reduced mobility and is equipped with charging terminals for electric vehicles.

This car park is located in one of the most central areas of the capital, just a stone's throw from the well-known Gran Vía. To get to the Palacio de la Cibeles from the car park, all you have to do is take a 20-minute walk along the famous thoroughfare, where bars, restaurants and shops abound. Alternatively, just take a short metro ride (line 2, from Santo Domingo to Banco de España).

Is there a regulated area near Madrid City Hall?

Plaza de Cibeles and its surroundings are within the Regulated Parking Zone (SER). This means that, in most situations, parking on the public road requires the payment of a fee or is limited to certain hours. In addition, due to the high demand and limited availability of spaces, it can be quite difficult to find a place to park your car.

Therefore, opting for a car park from the Saba network is the most convenient and safest alternative for those who prefer to enjoy the area without worrying about time limits or fines. What's more, you can easily book your parking space from the Saba website, Google Play or App Store.
