The show takes over Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the trade fair venue in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, and Manga Barcelona's entrance is Gate 4, at Carrer de la Botànica, 64. By public transport you can take L9 Sud (Fira and Europa | Fira stations), L10 Sud (Foc), FGC trains (Europa | Fira) and TMB buses H12, V1, 46, 65 and 79. By car, the venue connects with the AP-7, AP-2, A-2, C-31 and C-32, and the organisers set aside Parking D. Lots of people come from outside Catalonia for one or more days: the journey and the 8pm trip home are what's most worth planning.

Buy tickets →Practical tips for Manga Barcelona 2026
- ✓Buy your ticket in advance: it's only sold on the official website and there's no box office at the venue.
- ✓Entry is single-access: once you leave the show you can't get back in. Take everything you need for the day.
- ✓Children's tickets aren't sold on their own: they're bought together with a general ticket, and minors are always the responsibility of their adult.
- ✓You can bring outside food in reusable containers (flasks, lunch boxes), but not water bottles, plastic containers, glass or cans.
- ✓If you're in cosplay, there are cloakrooms and changing rooms designed for cosplayers.
- ✓Put Gate 4 (Carrer de la Botànica, 64) in your GPS, the entrance the organisers give: Fira Gran Via's general address (Av. Joan Carles I, 64) is a different one.
- ✓If you're driving, the organisers point to Parking D; carpooling splits the cost between everyone.
