Girona and Costa Brava Day Trip from Barcelona Tickets

About Girona and Costa Brava Day Trip from Barcelona

The Girona and Costa Brava Day Trip from Barcelona is a full-day guided tour departing from central Barcelona and covering two distinct regions of Catalonia: the medieval city of Girona and the rugged coastal stretch of Costa Brava. The tour runs for approximately 11 hours and includes roundtrip transport from the meeting point at Carrer del Palau de la Música, making it a self-contained day out from the city.

Girona is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Spain, with a layered history spanning Roman, Jewish, and Moorish occupation. The city's Jewish Quarter, known as El Call, is among the most intact in Europe, and the Roman defensive walls that ring part of the old town date back to the first century. Salvador Dalí, born in nearby Figueres, drew heavily on the landscapes and culture of this region throughout his career.

What to expect

The guided walking tour of Girona takes in the Jewish Quarter, the remains of the Roman wall, and the Arab Baths, a Romanesque structure dating to the late twelfth century. Your guide provides historical context throughout. En route to the coast, the tour stops at Pals, a restored medieval village with stone towers and panoramic views over the Empordà plain. The coastal leg follows the scenic route along Costa Brava, finishing at Calella de Palafrugell, where visitors can walk the rocky shoreline, swim, or take in the views from the cliffs at Cabo Roig. Tickets cover the guided tour, roundtrip transport from Barcelona, and free water refills at the meeting point. Food, drink, and gratuities are not included.
