Visiting Girona is much more than strolling along the medieval walls and admiring the city from above, losing yourself in the narrow streets of the Jewish Quarter or crossing the iconic bridges over the River Onyar. Visiting Girona becomes a personal, authentic and memorable experience, where history and modernity intertwine to captivate every visitor.
Every corner of Girona invites you to immerse yourself in a cultural journey, where history, art and everyday life intertwine to offer unforgettable experiences.
Strolling through its Old Town is like stepping back through centuries of history, among medieval walls, charming squares and narrow streets that lead to the imposing Jewish Quarter, one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe. The Cathedral of Santa Maria, with its Gothic nave, the widest in the world, is a must-see, as are the museums that house everything from medieval art to contemporary works.
The city also thrives with festivals and traditions that make it a vibrant destination. La Temps de Flors transforms Girona into an urban garden every spring, while the International Theatre Festival and numerous art exhibitions showcase its creative spirit.
Girona is a destination to be savoured. Its cuisine combines tradition and innovation, with roots in Catalan cooking and internationally recognised creativity. From hearty stews and home-style recipes that evoke the essence of the land to the haute cuisine of prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants, the city offers a culinary experience for all palates.
Local markets, such as the Mercat del Lleó, are brimming with fresh produce: artisan sausages, cheeses, Empordà wines and typical sweets such as xuixo de crema. Every bite tells a story linked to the land, its traditions and the passion of those who cultivate and produce with care.
Girona is the perfect place to enjoy nature and adventure. Its surroundings offer endless outdoor activities: cycling along the Carrilet Greenway, walking along the trails that lead to the Pyrenees, or discovering the spectacular Costa Brava with its hidden coves and Mediterranean landscapes.
The city also invites you to stroll along its medieval walls and gardens, enjoying unique views, or practise sports such as hiking, golf, climbing and kayaking on nearby rivers.
