Getting around with an electric vehicle

E-mobility brings energy-saving, environmentally friendly and financial advantages. It is efficient, allows the inclusion of renewable energies, doesn't generate any emissions, and reduces noise pollution... Come and explore Barcelona with a rented e-vehicle.

Park your car

Forget about your car and park it in one of our safe and convenient car parks. Public transport is the best, and most sustainable, way to get around Barcelona.

ZBE Rondes de Barcelona

Los infinitos días de sol de Barcelona hacen que la gama de azules de la ciudad brillen todo el año. El mar, en Barcelona, te reserva sorpresas todos los días, en verano y también durante el resto de estaciones del año.

23 de abril, Sant Jordi. Descubre por qué querrás estar en Barcelona.

Existe un día al año en que viajeros y visitantes se sienten en Barcelona como en otro planeta. Ese día en Barcelona se respira un ambiente diferente y podríamos aventurarnos a asegurar que todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas salen a la calle. Así que si planeas venir a Barcelona y tu visita coincide con el 23 de abril, ¡enhorabuena! La vivirás en el que posiblemente es el día más querido para los barceloneses.

Noche de museos, arte bajo la luz de la luna

La luna de Barcelona es testigo de miles de noches mágicas. Aunque, seguramente, si le preguntases a ella sobre La Nit dels Museus (La Noche de los Museos), respondería que tiene un conjuro especial, un magnetismo muy difícil de explicar que la transforma en una de esas noches que nadie, tenga la edad que tenga, debería perderse.
