Girona Attractions And Things To Do

Step into a living medieval masterpiece in Girona, one of Catalonia’s most beautifully preserved and photogenic cities, where the dramatic Girona Cathedral—with the widest Gothic nave in the world—towers over the old town, its stone steps and rose window creating one of the most iconic cinematic backdrops (famous as King’s Landing in Game of Thrones), while the narrow, flower-lined streets of the Jewish Quarter (Call Jueu) and the colorful Onyar River houses painted in pastel shades reflect perfectly in the water below the ancient stone bridges. Wander the atmospheric Passeig de la Muralla along the medieval city walls for panoramic views over red-tiled roofs and the surrounding Girona Pyrenees foothills, explore the lively Rambla de la Llibertat with its cafés and markets, or simply relax in the peaceful Jardins dels Alemanys gardens—all in a compact, walkable gem that perfectly balances profound history, cinematic beauty, and the warm, creative hospitality of Catalonia just 1 hour from Barcelona by high-speed train.
