Girona travel guide & transfers
Medieval walls, colour-washed riverfront and world-class food
About Girona
Girona is where Catalonia's history is most visible: Roman foundations, one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters, a Gothic cathedral with the widest nave in the world and medieval walls you can walk end to end. It is also a gastronomic capital, home to El Celler de Can Roca, and the natural base for exploring the northern Costa Brava.

Travel tips

- Temps de Flors in May fills every courtyard with flower installations; book early.
- Girona works perfectly as a day trip from Barcelona or a base for Costa Brava beaches.
