Girona

An old city with colourful houses along the Onyar river, medieval walls and a Jewish quarter. It is a filming location for Game of Thrones.

Girona lies about 100 km northeast of Barcelona. The reflections of the colourful houses along both banks of the Onyar river are the city's signature view. In the old town you can climb the Carolingian city walls and walk up the cathedral's 90-step baroque staircase, one of the widest Gothic naves in Europe. You can also explore the well-preserved medieval Jewish quarter and the Arab baths. Season 6 of Game of Thrones was filmed here. From Sants station, a high-speed train takes about 40 minutes. Girona is often combined with Figueres for a day trip.
