Rupit municipal car park

You cannot simply drive into Rupit's old town: to enter the historic centre with a vehicle you need a permit requested from the Town Council. Visitors park in the municipal car park, at the entrance to the village, and continue on foot from there. It is paid, except for the first 45 minutes, and what is collected helps to conserve the heritage and services for visitors.

Rates for cars

The Town Council's rates, updated in January 2026, go by bands:

• Up to 45 minutes: free.
• From 46 minutes to 2 hours: €2.50.
• From 2 to 3 hours: €3.50.
• From 3 to 4 hours: €4.50.
• From 4 to 24 hours: €6.

For a visit to the village and the hanging bridge, with a coffee, a two- or three-hour band is usually enough. If you are going on a long route, such as the one from Rupit to Tavertet, count on the day rate straight away. The car park has four charging points for electric cars. The website does not publish the opening hours or the payment methods.

Motorhomes and coaches

Motorhomes pay the same as cars for the first four hours; from four hours until 23:59 it is €8, and a stay from 0:00 to 23:59, to spend the night, is €16. The municipal ordinance limits motorhomes to fifteen at a time. We explain it in more detail on the motorhome area sheet.

Coaches pay €20 Monday to Friday, with no booking. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays it is €60, with compulsory advance booking through the form on the municipal website: that day only three coaches fit and you cannot park without a confirmed booking.

What is around

Between the car park and the Rupit stream there is a picnic area with three tables, a ping-pong table and an open space for children, and at the entrance to the village there is also a playground. From the car park, continue on foot to the tourist office, on camí de Sant Joan de Fàbregues, from where most of the signposted routes and the en Rupes game for families start.

Getting there

Rupit is on the C-153, the Vic to Olot road via Roda de Ter. According to the Town Council, it is 28 km and about 45 minutes from Vic, 26 km and 45 minutes from Olot, 97 km from Girona and 106 km from Barcelona, around two hours. From Barcelona you go up the C-17 to Vic, take the C-25 towards Girona and leave at exit 183 towards Roda de Ter.

At weekends and on public holidays the village receives a lot of people. Arriving before mid-morning leaves the village quieter for your walk.
