Step Back in Time with a Tour in Historic Girona

Girona Tour

Spend a day exploring Girona, where every street seems to hold a story. This city is a gem of Roman and medieval architecture, filled with narrow cobblestone streets, ancient walls, and a unique atmosphere that feels almost like a journey through time. Here’s a taste of what you can expect on this private tour:

Explore the Roman and Medieval Past – Walk along sections of the city’s ancient Roman walls and see how they blend with the later medieval fortifications. The views from the towers are spectacular, offering a perfect vantage point to admire Girona’s unique blend of architecture. As you stroll, your guide will share the city’s layered history, including tales of its strategic importance through the ages.

Discover the Jewish Quarter – The Jewish Quarter, or “El Call,” is one of the best-preserved in Europe. We’ll wander through its maze-like streets, where you’ll feel the echoes of Girona’s Jewish heritage. The area’s narrow alleys and stone archways add to the mystery and charm. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you might recognize parts of this area, as it was used as a filming location for many scenes!

Cross the Iconic Bridges – Girona’s colorful riverside houses are best seen from the bridges that cross the River Onyar. The red Eiffel Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel just before he built the Eiffel Tower, is a favorite spot for photos. Each bridge has its own character and offers different views of the old town.

Optional Visit to the Cathedral – If you’d like, we can stop at Girona’s impressive Cathedral. Its massive Gothic nave, the widest in the world, is a breathtaking sight. This iconic landmark also appeared in Game of Thrones, standing in as the Great Sept of Baelor, which adds an extra layer of excitement for fans of the show.

Relax with a Delicious Local Lunch – We’ll finish the day with a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor the flavors of Catalonia. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the experience and reflect on all the sights and stories from the day.

And remember, this tour is completely flexible. Let us know your interests, and we’ll tailor the day to make it just right for you!
