2 Juan Carlos de Gortázar Kalea, 48003, Bilbo
Been here?
A large parking area useful for visiting Bilbao, with a free funicular leading towards the cathedral, old quarter and market in about 10 minutes. It has no services, is often busy, and larger vehicles can find manoeuvring difficult; a 7 m motorhome may struggle. Parking is paid with a 3-hour limit, but free between 20:00 and 9:00. Recent reports describe break-ins, so security is a serious concern.

Unfortunately, we were broken into this morning.Translating
As a local resident, I have been parking here since I bought it four months ago. Yesterday morning, someone broke in and robbed me (I have an alarm). This morning, when I came to leave some things and try to repair the damage, I found that someone had broken into a camper parked next to mine. It seems this parking area is no longer safe for us.Translating
We slept peacefully without any problems. It is a large car park; the downside is that it is paid and limited to 3 hours. You do not have to pay between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. WATCH OUT!!!! The police arrested a guy who was stealing from inside a caravan at 3 p.m., in broad daylight.Translating
Perfect for us. It is Friday and we found a space on the slope. The free funicular saves a lot of time and energy and takes you to the cathedral, La Ribera, and the old town. Only suitable for daytime parking; otherwise the motorhome would have been on a slope.Translating
Great for visiting the city center, although you still have to pay the parking meter during the week. Recommended: we slept peacefully and quietly.Translating
Practical for going into town; take the funicular down right next to it. Park on Saturdays and Sundays because it is free. Finding a space is rare because it is always full. We are in a 7-meter motorhome, parked at the back and next to the buildings so we do not stick out.Translating
Impossible to find a space. With our 7-meter motorhome, it is also difficult to maneuver out of the car park.Translating
Car park 10 minutes downhill by funicular to the market and old town. Perfect for spending one or even two nights. Quiet and with plenty of parking spaces. On the upper street there are several bars and a garden for dogs and children. No services.Translating
More of a short-term car park for vans up to 6 meters maximum. Very tight and busy. Better to choose a street parking space—both are paid with EasyPark, and the street is even cheaper. The elevator goes toward the old town, 10 minutes to the market hall.Translating
Good for parking during the day and visiting the city, which is easily accessible on foot or by bus. Many people hang around the car park, but we did not notice any thefts. We did not stay overnight.Translating
Very good place to stay, close to the old town and with the tram very nearby to go to the Guggenheim Museum.Translating
We stopped for one night; quiet place. We went out to dinner in the city center, and afterward the night was very peaceful. There were about five motorhomes staying overnight.Translating
Not suitable for very large motorhomes.Translating
Actually a good car park in terms of access and distance to the city. Unfortunately, our car was broken into… we were there on Saturday from about 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The police were friendly and helpful. So be careful…Translating
Practical for visiting the city.Translating
Outside the low-emission zone, which is an advantage, and not too far away for visiting the Guggenheim Museum. We easily found a space for our van. Nearby there is also a small restaurant called “On Jam” with a real menu for €14.40, including coffee and wine, plus very friendly service. Address: C/Mina san Luis, 12.Translating
No space. Very tight to manoeuvre, while we usually don’t have any problems with this. Access ramp scratches the bottom of the campervan. I’d give it two stars since it’s a relatively central, but the current 4,1 star rating is completely out of place. Parked up the mountain on the other side of the river eventually.
Recommended. Quiet area and convenient for seeing Bilbao.Translating
Perfect location, especially if you happen to be going to a concert in the area. Quiet for sleeping, and there are some fairly level areas.Translating
Great for going to Bilbao outside the low-emission zone. Note that parking is limited to 5 hours per day. Free between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. The payment machine is on the roundabout below the car park.Translating
I parked along the street and needed some time to find a parking meter, located at the roundabout on the car-park side. Maximum 5 hours, although in the off-season there is a “siesta” in the parking hours. The way back from the city is uphill.Translating
Perfect for leaving the van while visiting the city. Some parking spaces are a little more spacious than others. You pay for half a day (€2.50). It is therefore best to arrive after 1:30 p.m.; for the same price, you can stay until the following morning.
Good parking within walking distance—20 minutes to the center—with plenty of spaces.
Close to the city. Convenient for sightseeing.
Close to the center. We paid €2.50 from noon to 3 p.m., which was enough time to see what we wanted downtown. It is 20 minutes from the center. Safe car park.
Even on the weekend, we found a parking space for our 6-meter campervan, while all the other car parks in Bilbao were full.
Great place for campervans, maximum 5.5 meters. Green zone. You cannot pay for more than 4.5 hours in advance. Each 4.5-hour period costs €2.50. First period 9–15 and second 15–19. Free on weekends too.
Super to spend a night in Bilbao. Close to old town, police station around the corner, safe, quiet. Stayed a Saturday to Sunday, free parking in the weekend. Small slope but ok. 6m max, no rv.
We could not park; it is completely occupied by local vehicles.
We arrived late on a Monday and left early Tuesday. Spacious and quiet. Somewhat sloped, but it did not bother me at all. Safe and with little activity.
Excellent place, green-marked spaces. I parked shortly before, opposite the police station; it seems very safe compared with the other places in the city.
Good car park, spacious and with nearby public transport; also safe.
Good car park for visiting Bilbao. Bus 30 takes you to the center. Good views of Bilbao.
Pretty good car park for visiting Bilbao! It is well located and has plenty of spaces. The only thing is that it is a green zone, so keep that in mind. It is also very high up compared with the river, so the return journey is a bit hard haha.
It is a large car park with many spaces, but beware: it is a green zone, so you have to pay during the day. We parked on a public holiday and did not have to pay. It is in the upper part of town, but there is a funicular directly opposite that takes you down and back up.
Car park very close to the center where we felt safe spending the night. €2.50 for half a day and then free at night, so great!
