Højdepunkter
Girona's riverside houses were dyed to match a plan, but the city's layers run far deeper than its famous facades. On this walking tour, you'll trace Girona's past from Roman road to medieval Jewish quarter, with legends locals still swear are true woven throughout. Starting at the Tourist Office, you'll cross into the Old Town, pass the Basilica of Sant Feliu, and climb toward the Romanesque Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. You'll wander through El Call, one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters, cross the Eiffel Bridge — built by the same company as the Paris landmark — and pass shops belonging to the Roca brothers, whose restaurant was twice named the world's best. Along the way, hear how a plague of flies supposedly saved Girona from a French crusade, kiss the lioness statue tied to a local legend, and spot Game of Thrones filming locations on the cathedral steps. The tour ends at Plaça de la Independència, a lively square built over a former monastery.

Rute
Pass the Basilica of Sant Feliu as you cross the Sant Feliu Bridge into the Old Town. Take in this landmark, one of Girona's oldest religious sites, as you begin your journey through the city's layered past.
Kiss (or just admire) El Cul de la Lleona, a lioness statue tied to a legend about proving you're a true local. Discover the tradition that says only those who kiss the statue truly belong to Girona.
Visit the Arab Baths, built by Catalan Christians who copied Muslim bathing customs. Explore this unusual blend of cultural influence hidden in the heart of the Old Town.
Recognize filming locations from Game of Thrones, including the steps of Girona Cathedral. Take in this monumental building, one of the city's most photographed landmarks.
Wander through El Call, Girona's Jewish quarter, one of Europe's best-preserved. Pass the spot where Nahmanides, the medieval Catalan rabbi, is believed to have lived.
Climb the Pujada de Sant Domènec, a steep baroque staircase leading up to the Church of Sant Martí Sacosta. Look for the arched underpass made famous by Arya Stark's chase scene in Game of Thrones, filmed here in Season 6.
Stroll beneath the low-ceilinged arcades of Rambla de la Llibertat, Girona's main commercial artery since the 13th century. Take in this lively promenade running alongside the Onyar River, lined with cafés and centuries-old buildings.
Pass through Plaça del Vi, a medieval square that took its current name in 1584 once the wine trade became its defining trade. Take in the arcaded galleries and Gothic arches surrounding Girona's City Hall and Municipal Theatre.
Cross the Eiffel Bridge, built by the same company behind the Paris landmark a decade earlier. Take in the striking red ironwork as you pass shops belonging to the Roca brothers, whose restaurant El Celler de Can Roca was twice named the world's best.
End your tour at Plaça de la Independència, a lively square built over a former monastery and bus station. Take in this bustling gathering spot as your journey through Girona's layered history comes to a close.

About Girona
Girona, in Catalonia, is a compact medieval city of stone lanes, a Jewish quarter and coloured houses on the Onyar River, inland from the Costa Brava.
Girona rises on a hill above the Onyar River, with tall coloured houses hanging over the water along the bank, a view photographed from the Eiffel Bridge, built by Gustave Eiffel's workshop. Above them, a stairway of ninety steps climbs to the cathedral, whose single Gothic nave is among the widest in the world. The old city walls can be walked for views over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Girona: Girona Cathedral (Catedral de Girona), Girona Jewish Quarter (El Call de Girona), Onyar River (Riu Onyar) .
