Things to Do in Girona
Top experiences in the city
Girona rewards a slow wander as much as a checklist. The essentials are the cathedral and its famous staircase, the Jewish Quarter, the Arab Baths and a walk along the medieval city walls for the best views. Photographers love the Onyar houses reflected in the river. A guided walking tour ties these together and reveals the layers of Roman, medieval and Jewish history that make the old town special.
Day trips and the coast
Beyond the city, Girona is a springboard for north-east Catalonia. Spend a day on the Dali trail in Figueres, explore the medieval village of Besalu and the Garrotxa volcanoes, or head to the Costa Brava for boat trips and the walled beach town of Tossa de Mar. Most can be done as small-group tours with transport from Girona, so you can mix a morning in the old town with an afternoon by the sea or in the countryside.
