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.

11-Day Barcelona to Venice Tour: Gaudí, Swiss Alps, Rome & Florence

Fell in Love with Italy

While I loved Barcelona and Switzerland, Italy really stole the show for me. Rome’s Trastevere was alive at night, Florence was artistic and charming, and Venice by boat felt surreal. The train ride to Pisa was comfortable, and seeing the Leaning Tower in person was so fun. The pace was busy but not overwhelming, which I appreciated. Honestly, this trip gave me memories I’ll carry forever.

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.
