Do you need a car? In the centre of Zaragoza you can walk and use the tram. A car is worth it for day trips to Huesca, the Monasterio de Piedra or the Pyrenees. Compare car rental at Zaragoza Airport on DiscoverCars, or read our Spain car hire guide.
Zaragoza’s regulated street parking (Estacionamiento Regulado) has two colours. Blue zones (ESRO) are for everyone and are meant for short stays. Orange zones (ESRE) are for residents of each district. Under the current municipal tax ordinance (Ordenanza Fiscal 25.11), a blue-zone ticket costs €0.25 for the minimum 25 minutes, €0.70 for one hour and €1.45 for two hours. The council lists the regulated hours as Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, and 8:00 to 15:00 in August. Outside these hours, and on any street without blue or orange markings, parking is free.

Source: Zaragoza City Council, Ordenanza Fiscal 25.11 (current text, quoted in the council’s May 2026 modification file). The ticket shows the time your stay ends; after that, parking in the same space is not allowed. The signs and the meter in the street are what count.

Parking is free on any street outside the blue and orange zones, and inside the zones outside the regulated hours: on weekday afternoons between 14:00 and 17:00, after 20:00 and before 9:00. The council’s published schedule runs Monday to Friday, so check the sign if you park on a Saturday. Further out, residential districts such as Actur, north of the Ebro, have unregulated streets, and tram line 1 runs from Actur to Plaza de España in the centre.
Zaragoza’s low emission zone covers a small part of the historic centre inside San Vicente de Paúl, Coso, Mayoral and Echegaray y Caballero streets. It applies Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 20:00, and fines started on 12 December 2025. Cars with a Spanish DGT label (B, C, ECO or 0) can enter. Cars without a DGT label, including foreign-registered cars, must be registered with the council in advance, otherwise they cannot enter during those hours. The simple solution is to park in a car park on the edge of the zone, such as César Augusto, and walk in.
The council plans to charge street parking by the minute from 1 January 2027, once the new parking contract is in place. The proposal is €0.012 a minute (€0.72 an hour) in blue zones for the first two hours and €0.018 a minute (€1.08 an hour) after that, with 50 % off for zero-emission vehicles. This is a proposal, not yet the tariff in force.
Zaragoza Airport is about 20 km west of Plaza del Pilar, around 25 minutes by car in light traffic. Delicias, the AVE station, is west of the centre on Calle Rioja.
