Girona's riverside houses were dyed to match a plan, but the city's layers run far deeper than its famous facades. On this walking tour, you'll trace Girona's past from Roman road to medieval Jewish quarter, with legends locals still swear are true woven throughout.
Starting at the Tourist Office, you'll cross into the Old Town, pass the Basilica of Sant Feliu, and climb toward the Romanesque Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. You'll wander through El Call, one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters, cross the Eiffel Bridge — built by the same company as the Paris landmark — and pass shops belonging to the Roca brothers, whose restaurant was twice named the world's best. Along the way, hear how a plague of flies supposedly saved Girona from a French crusade, kiss the lioness statue tied to a local legend, and spot Game of Thrones filming locations on the cathedral steps. The tour ends at Plaça de la Independència, a lively square built over a former monastery.
