Travelling with little ones? The central square of the shopping centre includes an interactive floor screen, which delights kids all year round and is one of the venue’s most popular features.

Arenas de Barcelona is also a cultural hub. Inside, you’ll find Mooby Cinemas, offering a full programme of current releases, 3D screenings and comfortable, modern theatres. Thursdays come with discounted tickets, so you can treat yourself midweek without the guilt.

And for something truly unique, head up to the top: the Arenas Cúpula Theatre. Nestled beneath the centre’s iconic dome, this venue hosts spectacular stage productions that make the most of its dramatic setting. A cultural gem high above the city.

Arenas de Barcelona has become an iconic building in Barcelona thanks to its multi-use design and wide-ranging offering: shops, restaurants, offices, fitness, culture, cinemas and a 2,000 m² multi-purpose space located 27 metres above ground.

It also stands as a pioneering architectural project—transforming a bullring from the early 20th century into a modern, urban shopping centre while preserving and restoring its beautiful neo-Mudéjar façade. A symbol of the city where heritage meets innovation.

Whether you arrive on foot, by metro, car or airport shuttle, getting to Arenas de Barcelona is incredibly easy. Just 15 minutes from the airport and 7 minutes from Sants Station, it sits directly across from Fira de Barcelona, which welcomes over 2.5 million visitors annually through trade fairs, congresses and events.

There are eight hotels within walking distance, and the centre is the first stop for the 24/7 airport shuttle, which connects directly with high-speed and long-distance trains. Arenas de Barcelona also offers over 1,000 parking spots and on-site lockers, plus direct access to two metro lines and local rail services—recently upgraded with new outdoor-access elevators. Everything’s designed to make your visit smooth and effortless.
