Arenal is a 24-hour car park beneath Bilbao’s large Arenal square, close to Casco Viejo. Its central location works well if you are exploring the old town on foot, and the garage has electric-car chargers. Number plate recognition can make entry straightforward. If you have booked ahead, take a ticket when you enter and check with staff if anything seems unclear, so you can avoid a duplicate payment. Finding your way back to a pedestrian exit can take some attention, as the exits are not marked inside the garage.
