Girona Day Trips from Barcelona

Girona Day Trips from Barcelona offers guided excursions from the Catalan capital to some of the region's most compelling destinations. The city of Girona, roughly an hour north of Barcelona by road or rail, is known for its remarkably preserved medieval quarter, its network of ancient walls, and the photogenic Onyar riverfront whose colourful houses have appeared on postcards and screens alike. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognise its cobbled streets and cathedral steps, which stood in for locations in the later series of the show.

The current programme also takes visitors further north to Figueres, birthplace of Salvador Dalí and home to the Dalí Theatre-Museum, one of the most visited museums in Spain. Designed by Dalí himself and opened in 1974, the building is as theatrical as the work it contains. Together, these two destinations make for a full day out from Barcelona, combining medieval history, surrealist art, and the distinctive landscape of inland Catalonia.
