Stroll through the Barri Vell and the Call Jueu

One of the must-do experiences during your stay in Girona is exploring its Barri Vell (Old Town). Here you will feel transported back in time as you get lost in its medieval cobblestone streets, arcades, and hidden squares. Within this historic labyrinth lies the Call Jueu, one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in the world. Discover its narrow alleys and courtyards while imagining what life was like for the Jewish community that lived here for centuries. The area is filled with small shops, charming bars, and restaurants where you can taste the local gastronomy.

Visit the majestic Cathedral of Girona

Dominating the city skyline, the Cathedral of Santa María in Girona is a must-see. This imposing monument is famous for possessing the widest Gothic nave in the world, an architectural marvel that will impress you with its scale and solemnity. Walk up its famous Baroque staircase—the setting for international screen productions—and admire its facade. Inside, don't miss the Cathedral Treasury, housing Romanesque art treasures such as the Tapestry of Creation. It is an essential cultural visit to understand the city's rich history.

Cross the bridges over the Onyar River

No trip to Girona is complete without a stroll along the banks of the Onyar River. The bridges that cross it offer the iconic view of the colorful hanging houses overlooking the river, one of Catalonia's most famous postcards. The most well-known is the Pont de les Peixateries Velles, a red iron structure designed by the workshop of Gustave Eiffel. From here, the views of the Barri Vell and the Cathedral are simply spectacular, especially at sunset when golden light bathes the buildings and creates a magical atmosphere.
