Sitting peacefully by the River Onyar, Girona is the largest city in Catalonia and is jam-packed with incredible museums, fantastic galleries, and looming Gothic churches. A trip to Girona provides even the most avid of history fans with a treat for the senses and the mind as it is rich in medieval architecture. Some of the greatest sights in town include the remains of a Roman fortress known Força Vella, the Arab Baths, and Sant Pere de Galligants and Sant Nicolau.
Also not to be missed is an exploration of the landscaped garden paths of the Passeig Arqueologic and the imposing watchtowers of the walled Old Quarters. While history is a big part of Girona’s draw, don’t miss out on visits to the more modern activities in town, such as exploring the boutiques, dining on the flavors of Girona, and breaking a sweat at the city’s top sports infrastructures.
