STAY IN MADRID WITH A CAR

Guide to finding car parks and hotels

Meliá hotels in Madrid offer excellent parking options and ensure the comfort and peace of mind of guests. It is also important to take into account traffic regulations and restricted areas, such as the central part of Madrid, to ensure a hassle-free stay. Let's learn more about the options and tips for staying in Madrid with a car and making the most of your visit to the Spanish capital.

How do traffic restrictions work in central Madrid?

Madrid Central is a low emission zone in the heart of the city that limits access for certain vehicles to reduce pollution. Cars that do not comply with DGT environmental labels may face fines if they enter this area. Drivers must be aware of these restrictions before traveling to Madrid and plan their route and parking accordingly. Meliá hotels with a car park inside the central Madrid area usually offer permitted or alternative access for their guests.

Avoid penalties

To stay up to date on traffic regulations and avoid penalties, we recommend you check the official websites of the DGT and Madrid City Council before your trip. Knowing these rules is vital in ensuring a trip with no unexpected events and making the most of your stay in Madrid.
