Reasons to go

The Onyar River is lined with houses painted in distinct candy colors, a signature view of the city

📖

Full description

Girona's walled old city, with its cathedral steps, the Onyar River houses in candy colors, and the atmospheric former Jewish quarter of El Call, has become well known partly through its use as a filming location, but its stone streets are genuinely medieval and worth the hour-plus drive from Barcelona on their own merits. This tour continues on to the Costa Brava, the rocky, pine-backed coastline northeast of the city, for a contrast of inland history and Mediterranean scenery in one nine-hour day.

The small-group format and hotel pickup keep logistics simple, and an 87 culture score reflects Girona's depth as a historic town rather than just a coastal stop. It suits travelers who want more substance than a beach day but also want sea views worked into the itinerary.

💡

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes for Girona's cobbled lanes and cathedral stairs
bring a swimsuit in warmer months in case there's free time along the coast
the day is long at nine hours, so treat it as a full day commitment rather than a half-day add-on.

A fabulous trip. Enrico an excellent guide, very personable and willing to share his knowledge. Loved the opportunity to visit areas away from the city.
