Travel to the enchanting city of Girona, one of Catalonia’s most beautiful and historically rich destinations. With more than 2,000 years of history, Girona offers a remarkable blend of Roman, medieval and Jewish heritage, all beautifully preserved within its ancient walls.
Begin your exploration in the Barri Vell (Old Town), a maze of cobbled streets, hidden squares and historic buildings that transports visitors back through the centuries. Discover the impressive Roman walls, later expanded during the medieval period, and enjoy panoramic views over the city from one of the best-preserved defensive systems in Catalonia.
Visit the magnificent Cathedral of Girona, famous for its spectacular Baroque staircase and its extraordinary Gothic nave—the widest of its kind in the world. Learn about the cathedral’s fascinating construction, its artistic treasures and its prominent role in Catalan history.
Continue through the atmospheric Jewish Quarter (El Call), one of the best-preserved medieval Jewish neighbourhoods in Europe. Wander through its narrow alleyways while discovering the remarkable story of the Jewish community that flourished here until the expulsion of 1492.
Cross the picturesque Onyar River, where the city’s colourful riverside houses create one of Girona’s most iconic views. Stroll across the elegant Eiffel Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel before he built his famous tower in Paris, and admire the vibrant façades reflected in the water.
Throughout the tour, your guide will share fascinating stories of Roman origins, medieval merchants, noble families and legends that have shaped Girona’s unique identity. Fans of film and television will also recognise several locations featured in the acclaimed series Game of Thrones, which used Girona’s medieval streets as the setting for the city of Braavos.
You’ll also have free time to browse local boutiques, enjoy a coffee in one of the charming squares or sample Girona’s renowned gastronomy before returning to Barcelona.
