Exploring Walking Areas for EURO 2024 Stadiums Using ArcGIS Location Platform
As the excitement for EURO 2024 builds, ensuring fans can easily navigate to and from stadiums becomes crucial. With advanced spatial analysis tools, we can create efficient walking routes and identify nearby amenities like bars for fans to enjoy before and after matches. This blog post explores a powerful Python script that leverages the ArcGIS Location Platform and RapidAPI services to determine walking areas around key EURO 2024 stadiums and locate nearby bars.
Introduction to Spatial Analysis for EURO 2024
Spatial analysis is the process of examining the locations, attributes, and relationships of features in spatial data through overlay and other analytical techniques to address a question or gain useful knowledge. For EURO 2024, spatial analysis can enhance fan experience by mapping out walkable areas around stadiums and identifying nearby attractions.
The Power of ArcGIS and RapidAPI
Combining the capabilities of ArcGIS and RapidAPI allows us to perform advanced spatial analysis efficiently. ArcGIS offers robust tools for handling spatial data, while RapidAPI provides access to various location services that enhance our analysis.
Key Features of the Python Script
The Python script outlined in this post offers the following features:
How the Script Works
Connecting to ArcGIS and RapidAPI
The script first authenticates and connects to the ArcGIS Location Platform and RapidAPI using API keys stored in environment variables. This setup ensures secure access to the necessary services for spatial analysis.
Fetching Stadium Locations
Next, the script retrieves the web map containing all EURO 2024 stadium locations. This web map serves as the primary data source for querying stadium locations and performing subsequent analyses.
Querying Locations
The script queries the stadium locations and returns a spatially-enabled dataframe. This dataframe includes geographic coordinates and other relevant attributes of the stadiums, setting the stage for further spatial analysis.
Calculating Walking Areas
Using RapidAPI, the script calculates pedestrian-accessible areas from each stadium location. These walking areas are determined based on geographic coordinates and are essential for mapping out walking routes that fans can take on foot.

Finding Nearby Bars
Finally, the script identifies bars within walking distance of the stadiums. By accessing RapidAPI's location services, it pinpoints nearby bars and provides details on the routes fans can take to reach these establishments.
Using the Script
To use this script, ensure you have API keys for both ArcGIS and RapidAPI. Store them in your environment variables as arcgis_em2024_api_key and x_rapidapi_key, respectively. Then, run the script to retrieve and analyze the walking areas and nearby bars for EURO 2024 stadiums.
Enhancing Fan Experience with Spatial Analysis
By leveraging the power of spatial analysis through ArcGIS and RapidAPI, we can significantly enhance the fan experience for EURO 2024. This script not only provides practical walking routes but also ensures that fans can find nearby amenities with ease, making their overall experience more enjoyable and memorable.
