Girona doubled as both Braavos and parts of Kings Landing when Game of Thrones filmed season 6 here in 2015. The medieval Old Town needed almost no set dressing, which is why the locations are so recognizable on the ground. Use this guide to find every spot, in walking order.
Cathedral steps and the Walk of Shame
The 90 step Baroque staircase of Girona Cathedral was the Great Sept of Baelor, where Cersei Lannister began her Walk of Shame. It is the single most photographed location in the city. Visit early morning or at sunset for the best photos without crowds, and climb to the top for the view down the steps that the camera used.
Sant Domenec stairs and Pujada de Sant Domenec
The grand covered staircase below the old university appeared as a Kings Landing street. It is a 3 minute walk from the Cathedral and rarely busy, so it is an easy photo stop on the way to the next location.
Sant Marti church (House of Black and White)
Right beside the Cathedral, the unfinished Baroque facade of Sant Marti Sacosta served as the House of Black and White in Braavos, where Arya trained with the Faceless Men. The columned portico is instantly recognizable from the show.
Carrer dels Calderers and the Braavos lanes
Arya, blind and begging, made her way through these narrow medieval lanes in the El Call quarter. The stone alleys around the Jewish Quarter needed no changes to pass for Braavos backstreets.
Banys Arabs (Arab Baths)
The 12th century Arab Baths appeared in season 6 and are worth the 3 euro entry on their own for the central pool and skylight. They are a 5 minute walk uphill from the Cathedral.
Pou Rodo and the Onyar bridges
Smaller backstreet scenes were shot around Pou Rodo and near the river. Cross the iron Pont de les Peixateries Velles for the classic view of the coloured Onyar houses, a non-GoT highlight you should not skip.
Self-guided route vs guided tour
The self-guided loop above takes about 90 minutes and costs nothing beyond the Arab Baths ticket. A 2 hour guided tour from 25 euros adds the on-screen photo comparisons at each stop, the production stories from guides who were there in 2015, and the exact camera angles, which is what most fans come for. Either way, start early to beat the day-trip groups from Barcelona.
When to go and practical tips
Spring and autumn are ideal for empty steps and soft light. In summer, go at 9:00 or after 18:00. Wear flat shoes for the cobbles, and combine the route with the Cathedral combined ticket and a walk on the medieval city walls for a full Old Town morning.
