How to Go to City Walk by Metro
Quick answer: City Walk (and the Coca-Cola Arena inside it) has no metro station. The nearest stops are Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall and Business Bay on the Red Line — then a 5–8 minute taxi (AED 12–17) or a local bus up Al Wasl/Al Safa Street.
Route Options
Option 1: Metro + Taxi (best for most)
- Red Line to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall.
- Taxi from the station rank to City Walk — 5–8 minutes depending on the entrance (Coca-Cola Arena has its own drop-off).
Option 2: Metro + Bus (cheapest)
Local RTA routes along the Al Wasl/Jumeirah corridor stop within a short walk of City Walk — check the S'hail app from your station for the live best option; the bus leg stays within your Nol fare structure.
Concert Nights at Coca-Cola Arena
- Going in: arrive via metro + taxi well before doors — road closures and drop-off queues around the arena get heavy in the final hour.
- Getting out is the real test: taxi surge and gridlock follow every big show. The smart move is a 10–15 minute walk away from the arena before hailing, or pre-agreeing a pickup point a few streets out — then metro home from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall (last trains midnight, 1 am Fridays — timings).
What's at City Walk
Open-air dining and boutiques, street art, The Green Planet indoor rainforest, and family attractions — comfortable in the cooler months, all walkable within the district once you arrive. Pair it with Downtown before or after, since you're two minutes from the Dubai Mall side.
