Where to park
Where to park for UN1TED Bilbao
UN1TED hasn't published its own parking for this edition. The BEC has a car park underneath the venue; here's what we know:
BEC car park (Bilbao Exhibition Centre)
OfficialAccording to official BEC information, the car park is covered, holds around 4,000 vehicles and is split into colour-coded zones; the orange zone has the exits closest to Bizkaia Arena. It's paid, and prices and opening hours can vary by event: we couldn't verify any published conditions for this night, so check the BEC website before you go.
See the event on the Bizkaia Arena website →Street parking in Barakaldo, or no car at all
AlternativeIf you don't use the venue car park, the alternative is street parking in Barakaldo: respect driveways, crossings and local signage. And if you live in Bilbao or along the left bank, Ansio station (Metro Bilbao line 2) drops you next to the BEC's north entrance with no parking needed; for the way back, check that night's service on metrobilbao.eus.
Looking for parking or a ride to UN1TED Bilbao? Share it
Share the ride with VIB3S: one car with four people is one parking ticket instead of four.
Why share a ride
A big car park, thousands of ravers and everyone leaving at once
First see who's going from your area and form a group in the community. If four of you travel in one car, you take up a single space, split fuel, tolls and parking four ways and the ride home is agreed before you go in. And whoever drives can plan to rest or take turns.
On your own
- Driving alone means paying for a whole night's parking on your own
- When it ends everyone leaves at once and getting out of the car park slows down
- After a whole night, driving back to Santander, Vitoria or Donostia alone isn't the best idea
- Cercanías doesn't run overnight: a shared car is the most direct option if you're coming from outside Bizkaia
With VIB3S
Fewer cars, shorter exit queue: carpool
- 1 car, 1 space. Four people, a single parking ticket.
- Split costs. Fuel, tolls and parking between everyone.
- From your city. Santander, Vitoria, Donostia, Burgos or anywhere in Bizkaia.
- Return agreed. Time and meeting point decided before you go in.
