Game of Thrones in Girona

Girona doubled as Braavos and King's Landing in Game of Thrones, and its medieval streets are still instantly recognisable to fans of the series.

The cathedral steps became the Great Sept of Baelor, the Jewish Quarter stood in for the back alleys of Braavos, and Sant Pere de Galligants and the Arab Baths appear in several Season 6 scenes. A dedicated Game of Thrones walking tour links every filming location with the scene it appeared in, so you can stand exactly where Arya Stark ran from the Waif or where Cersei walked. Guides mix screen trivia with the real medieval history of each building, which means even travellers who have not seen the show enjoy the route. Tours usually last about two hours and stay entirely inside the old town, so they pair well with a cathedral ticket or a visit to the Jewish history museum afterwards. Because Girona is a short train ride from Barcelona, the Game of Thrones tour is also one of the most popular day trips from the city.
