Review & FAQ:

Easily accessible from Barcelona by road or rail in about 90 minutes, Girona is a brilliant option for a day trip. Narrow winding streets, cobbles and medieval walls set the scene in this lovely old city which boasts one of the best preserved Jewish Districts in Europe, called El Call. You can get a wonderful overview of the city by taking a walk along the intact medieval walls – a testimony to their 9th century builders. At the heart of the city you will find the Girona Cathedral, which you may recognize from “Game of Thrones”. History lovers can also visit the Sant Pierre de Galligants Benedictine Abbey, which is home to the fascinating Archaeology Museum of Catalonia.
