Parking in Tibidabo - Barcelona

The Retiro Park in Madrid (also known as the Buen Retiro Park) is one of the most emblematic areas of the Spanish capital. It was built in the 17th century for the enjoyment of King Felipe IV and is now listed as a historic garden.

Its more than 19,000 trees make it one of the lungs of the city and its fairytale paths are ideal for strolling. If you want to enjoy this natural environment in the heart of the city centre and without any worries, the best thing to do is to park in a car park near the Retiro.

Where to park near the Retiro?

Parking in the Retiro is easy thanks to the Saba Estación Tren Madrid - Atocha P2 public car park, on Paseo de la Infanta Isabel, s/n, 28012, Madrid. It is located on Paseo de la Infanta Isabel, just a few metres from Atocha station, a 5-minute walk from the metro (Estación del Arte) and just a 13-minute walk from Retiro. This makes it a key car park in the centre of Madrid to move around the city with total fluidity or to pick up your visitors on time.

If you need to visit a hospitalised relative, this car park is a perfect key point, since it's a 35-minute walk from the Gregorio Marañón hospital and a 20-minute walk from the Niño Jesús hospital.

In addition, this car park in Retiro is open 24 hours a day, has a panel that informs you in real time of the number of free spaces, has parking for people with reduced mobility and has Via-T at the entrance and exit. The maximum height for vehicles to access the car park is 2.6 metres.

What to do in Retiro Park?

The Retiro Park has incredible dimensions, being a perfect location to enjoy the breeze with your loved ones or to attend events such as the Book Fair.

If you've decided to take a stroll, you must visit the Fallen Angel Fountain, the Crystal Palace and the Ahuehuete.

The Fountain of the Fallen Angel is a beautiful sculptural work by the artist Ricardo Bellver inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost. It depicts Luzbel (Satan) trapped by an enraged serpent that prevents him from taking flight.

The Crystal Palace is one of the most popular areas of the Retiro. It was built in 1887 to surprise visitors to the General Exhibition of the Philippine Islands held that same year. It was designed by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, who was inspired by the Crystal Palace in London a few decades earlier.

The Ahuehuete is one of the trees that give life to the park and is of Mexican origin. We recommend you visit it because, in addition to its spectacular dimensions, it is the oldest tree in the Retiro.

What is there near the Retiro in Madrid?

If you decide to leave the boundaries of the Retiro, you have other places of interest to visit such as the neighbourhood of Ibiza (in Madrid) bordering the eastern side of the park. This neighbourhood is known for having a very active cultural and social life, being an ideal area to enjoy the local gastronomy. Some of the most famous streets to stroll along are Ronda de Vallecas (which borders the Retiro) and the historic Calle de Mallorca, which is now known as Calle del Doctor Castelo.

On the other hand, if you like Ana Belén's music, you will be able to take some beautiful pictures of the famous Puerta de Alcalá, which is only a 5-minute walk from this Madrid park.
