Map: Coca-Cola Arena and the listed hotels
Getting to Coca-Cola Arena
Nearest metro station is Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall on the Red Line
The arena's own visitor guide says it is well connected via the Dubai Metro, with Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall on the Red Line the closest stop. Independent guides also name this as the nearest station to City Walk.
Footbridge crossing links the metro station to the arena plaza
From Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station visitors cross the footbridge over Sheikh Zayed Road and use a signed exit to reach the arena, with the walk taking around fifteen minutes. A manned pedestrian crossing at Al Albaany Street leads straight into the arena plaza.
Taxis and ride-hailing use dedicated drop-off points near the entrances
A dedicated drop-off zone sits in front of main entrances A, B and C for taxis and ride-hailing cars, keeping private vehicles away from the main plaza queues. Travel guides confirm this is the recommended way to be set down or collected on event nights.

No dedicated public parking at the arena itself, only limited paid bays
The arena operates a limited, paid, ticketless parking system managed through PARKONIC with additional RTA and City Walk parking a short walk away, but there is no dedicated car park for the general public and visitors are encouraged to use public transport. At launch, organisers confirmed no dedicated venue parking for the general public, with some spaces reserved for hospitality suites and sponsors.
Several RTA bus routes stop within walking distance of City Walk
RTA bus routes including 7, 27, 28, 29, 81, 93, 98E, D03 and F13 call at stops such as Safa and the Dubai Mall Landside Metro Bus Stop, each within a short walk of the arena. Other guides also note that RTA buses serve the City Walk area directly.
Dubai International Airport links to the arena by Red Line metro or a short drive
Travellers from the airport can take the Red Line metro from Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station and then walk to the venue. By road, the arena's own visit page describes the journey from Dubai International Airport as roughly a twenty five minute drive.

Multiple entrances serve different ticket types around the plaza
The venue has several entrances across its levels, including a VVIP entrance, two VIP entrances with a VIP suite, and main entrances known as gates A and C for general spectators. Separate guidance for drop-off confirms entrances A, B and C are used as the main access and pick-up points on event nights.
