Best Girona Tours & Trips

One of Catalonia’s most distinct and historical cities lies just 60 miles from Barcelona. Girona was founded by the Romans, became a Moorish stronghold, and later withstood three invasions by Napoleon’s troops, earning it the sobriquet “the City of a Thousand Sieges.” Today this peaceful city on the Onyar River is renowned for its labyrinthine Call, Catalonia’s best-preserved medieval Jewish quarter with its narrow and steep alleyways and ancient stone houses.

FAQs about Girona Tours

How do I get from Girona Airport (GRO) to the city center using public transport?

Take the Moventis Bus A1, which runs every 30-60 minutes from the airport to Girona’s city center (Estació d’Autobusos). The journey takes 15-20 minutes and costs €2.15. Tickets can be purchased at the airport terminal vending machines or onboard with contactless payment. The bus stops near key hotels and the train station.

What is the best local transport pass for tourists visiting Girona and nearby Costa Brava?

The Hola BCN! Travel Card is valid on Rodalies de Catalunya (commuter rail) and local buses in Girona. Choose a 48-hour or 72-hour pass for unlimited travel (€14.45-€23.80). Use it to reach Figueres, Besalú, and Blanes economically. Not valid on high-speed Renfe trains.

When is the rainy season in Girona, and how does it affect coastal day trips?

Girona’s rainy season peaks October-November, with frequent short downpours. Annual rainfall averages 650 mm, mostly light to moderate. Coastal roads to Costa Brava remain open, but hiking trails in the Pyrenees foothills may be slippery. Carry a compact rain jacket and check local trail alerts via Ajuntament de Girona’s tourism portal.

Is tipping customary in Girona’s restaurants and cafes?

Tipping is not mandatory in Girona, as service is included in the bill (‘servici inclòs’). However, leaving small change (€1-€2 per person) or rounding up the total is appreciated for good service, especially in sit-down restaurants. No tip is expected at bars for drinks or pastries.
