Top 7 Things To Do and See in Girona

Catalonia’s largest city is Girona, Spain. Whether it’s the ancient, cobbled streets, and medieval baths or the dramatic coast speckled with arcaded houses, a trip to Girona is filled with things to do and see. Here’s our top 7.

  • Sant Pere de Rodes

    1. Sant Pere de Rodes

    Girona history and natural beauty meet at this ancient monastery. The view alone from the top of the hill looking over the Mediterranean coastline is worth the hike up there.

    2. Sant Pere de Galligants

    Another monastery, Sant Pere de Galligants, also features a concise museum that houses artifacts from prehistoric to Roman times.

  • Onyar

    This magnificent building is absolutely breathtaking, full of history and architectural beauty. On Sundays, entrance is free.

  • 5. Museu d'Art

  • Lake of Banyoles

    6. Lake of Banyoles

    Take a quick bus to Banyoles for an afternoon of relaxing by this gorgeous lake and wandering through its surrounding old town.

Frequently asked questions about Girona

Planning Your Visit

  • Visit in Spring

    The Girona weather is warm but not too hot yet, perfect for strolling along the coast. Easter is an incredible time to visit Costa Brava. Girona is filled with joyous religious festivals and parades. Of course, summer is best for Girona beaches.

  • GironaMuseus Card

    Pay the full price at the first museum and then half off entry at all the others. Getting the GironaMuseus Card will be worth it if you plan to see more than one of the five major Girona museums.

  • Girona to Barcelona

    There are a few options for getting between Girona and Barcelona. You could rent a car and drive north an hour and a half to Barcelona, or maybe your flight arrival will fall conveniently with a scheduled Barcelona Bus or the train. A taxi would cost 120€, which might not be so bad if you’re splitting the cost with a group.

Great and interesting tour thanks to highly proffesional, polite, and funny tour guide Vicente, and of course the beautiful scenery and museum that we visited. The van in which we were driven was really clean and nice, and the driver Joaquin drove with special care and professionalism. Also the other people on the tour were really nice and cool. All in all it was a really great experience, which me and my 2 kids abaolutely loved. 10/10 would recommend!

Girona and Figueres Full-Day Tour with Hotel Pick Up Reviewed by Maja, 30/10/2021

This trip was wonderful. We had great weather but too cold for a swim. In summer you could only swim if you packed a lunch due to common length of meals but such a nice spot. Girona deserves a full day but this trip gave a lot of time to explore. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, nice and I would recommend this company on primarily due to his great service
