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. The huge 15th century cathedral, boasting the widest unsupported gothic arch in the world, dominates the skyline, yet much of the city's attraction lies in exploring the mediaeval streets, especially around the charming Jewish quarter.
You will be able to cross the Onyar River through the bridge built by Gustave Eiffel " Pont de les Peixeteries Velles" one of the most populat monuments of the city.
This extensive visit (about 3 hours) will show you the most important monuments of Girona, its history, its Jewish heritage and also its Legends.
Our guides are local guides who know all the secrets of the city.

a great overview

5.00The old town of Girona is beautiful. This is a great way to navigate the maze of streets and learn an overview of the history and some interesting facts. It was a very helpful introduction to the city - you go to the area around the baths and cathedral, the main shopping streets, a section of the walls and to some of the bridges. There are cobbled streets and uneven steps so wear sensible shoes. The pace was fine and there is plenty of time to stop and take photos. Paula our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and it was great to hear about the city from a resident. The company were very organised and everything worked well.
Great overview of Girona.
