Best Time to Visit Girona
Spring and autumn: the sweet spot
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Girona, with mild temperatures perfect for walking the old town and the city walls. May brings the spectacular Temps de Flors festival, when patios, courtyards and the cathedral steps fill with flower displays and the city is at its prettiest. Book ahead for that week, as it is one of the busiest of the year.
Summer and winter
Summer is hot and pairs naturally with the Costa Brava beaches and boat trips, but the old town can be busy and warm at midday. Winter is quiet and cool, with short days and lower prices, ideal if you want the cathedral and the Jewish Quarter almost to yourself. Whatever the season, the medieval centre is compact enough to enjoy on foot, and indoor sights make good options on a rainy day.
