Girona: Small Group Walking Tour

10. Girona: Small Group Walking Tour

The ancient walled city of Girona stands on a fortress-like hill, high above the confluence of the Onyar and Ter rivers. As the provincial capital, it has a long and distinguished history. Founded by Iberians, the Romans later named it Gerunda and established it as an important stopping point on the Via Augusta, linking Iberia with Rome. But the most important time for the city was the middle ages, due to its location near the french border the city was under siege several times, so its main buildings are from that time. Girona has the huge 15th century cathedral, boasting the widest unsupported gothic arch in the world which dominates the skyline. Much of the city's attraction lies in exploring the medieval streets, especially around the charming Jewish quarter. In the lower part of the city, you will enjoy spectacular images of steep alleyways and the brightly painted façades of the houses overlooking the Onyar river which provide the most emblematic image of the city.  Among the bridges that span the river are the lightweight Gómez bridge and the Ferreries Velles bridge which was designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1877. Also, if you are interested in The Game of Thrones series, the guide will show the locations where the 6th season was filmed. This extensive visit will show you the most important monuments of Girona, its history, its Jewish heritage and also its legends. Join local guides who know all the secrets of the city.

Every objective I see was beautiful,extraordinary arhitecture,nice people who work there,theweather was little cold,,,,its better to visit Barcelona in summer when is hot outside.The Barcelona stadium is huge,breathtaking,,I recomand sincerly to visit the city,,,

It was great. I am glad that there was no standing room. Once I payed, you mentioned that some may be standing and this would not be appropriate as I did not see this information when I registered….

Anays was a fantastic guide- she was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. The tour was so beautiful and the end destination at the Caller del Mas vineyard was breathtaking (and delicious)

Great experience and really easy to book on the app. Not the first time we have been to the Nou Camp but always so much to see if you want to read most signs.

Great dancers, music and singing. A touristy experience, not particularly authentic, but still very enjoyable all the same due to the excellent performers.
