If you are exploring Barcelona by car then car parking will not be a big deal as there are numerous parking options in the form of public car parks and garages.
Though, you might have a tough time finding a place to park right in front of any destination, you can go for paid parking at hotels in central Barcelona. Choose a smaller car to be able to park easily as the parking space in Barcelona might not be suitable for bigger cars. If you are going to stay in Barcelona for more than a month then you can buy a monthly parking pass.
