<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe most notable structure in the city is La Catedral de Santa Maria. A beautiful white church that may be very familiar to Game of Thrones<\/em> fans. It was in fact the setting of the Sept of Baelor in season six. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The cathedral has a very interesting architectural style and inside the church, you will find the widest Gothic nave in the world. In the cathedral is a small museum where you can admire various art treasures, such as the enormous Tapestry of Creation<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the old town of Girona you will find remains of the old city walls. Part of it has been restored and therefore it is now a great place for a walk. From the wall, you also have a completely different view of the city. Be careful where you walk, because not every part of the wall is safely restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you walk from the station to the old town of Girona, you will soon cross one of the bridges over the Riu Onyar. From here you have a beautiful view of the colorful houses, the cathedral, and the tower of Sant Feliu de Girona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can actually visit the white house in the photo above. That is Casa Maso and it was designed by the architect Rafael Maso. He was a big fan of Antonio Gaud\u00ed (the architect of the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia in Barcelona, among others) and that is reflected in his designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Placa del Independencia (Independence Square) is one of the most beautiful squares in Girona. It is quite large and surrounded by tall buildings with arches. Below you will find many restaurants with terraces, making this a very good place to relax with a bite and a drink during your city trip in Girona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n El Call, the Jewish quarter, can be found near the cathedral of Girona. Many Jews lived in this district between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries and were then forced to leave. Initially, parts of the neighborhood were demolished, but it has now been restored to its former state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You won’t find any cars here in El Call, because the streets are extremely narrow and you’ll have to climb many stairs. It’s a gorgeous part of town. You will find several cozy restaurants and small boutique shops here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP<\/strong>: Various scenes for Game of Thrones were also recorded in El Call. Discover all the Game of Thrones filming locations in Girona with a special guided tour<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pont de Pedra is a striking stone bridge from the nineteenth century and is one of the most important bridges in Girona. This bridge is probably one of the first interesting landmarks you’ll see when you walk from the station to the city. From here you have a beautiful view of the old town and the Riu Onyar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to La Catedral de Santa Maria, Girona has another striking building: the white tower of Sant Feliu de Girona. This basilica is worth a visit because it has different architectural styles. It was built between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries and in the church, you’ll notice the difference between the architectural styles in those centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, there are a few special sarcophagi from the third and fourth centuries and the chapel of Sant Narc\u00eds, the former patron saint of Girona, is also very beautiful to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have some more time? Girona is in a beautiful location to discover other places in Catalonia. These three places are worth visiting as a day trip from Girona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Figueres<\/a> is located about 40 kilometers (half an hour by train) north of Girona. It is a small town that is amazing to explore and has a very important tourist attraction: Teatre-Museu Dal\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Designed by the world-famous artist Salvador Dal\u00ed, this museum (or theater) is full of his surrealist works. You don’t necessarily have to love paintings, the whole museum is a sight to see and you constantly discover new crazy things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP<\/strong> The line for Teatre-Museu Dal\u00ed can be very long. Buy your tickets in advance<\/a>, so you can skip the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I myself visited Girona as a day trip from the town of Llan\u00e7\u00e0, where I stayed for a week with my family. Llan\u00e7\u00e0 is a lovely town on the coast, with a beautiful old center full of nice restaurants. In addition, there is a large marina and many coves with beaches. There are also many great hiking trails in the vicinity of Llan\u00e7\u00e0, for example in the Serra des Rodes (for the best views) or you can hike a section of the Cam\u00ed de Ronda<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The last tip on this list of the best things to do in Girona is once again connected by Salvador Dal\u00ed. In Port Lligat, a tiny village next to Cadaqu\u00e9s, there is one of the most special buildings in all of Spain: the house of Salvador Dal\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Casa-Museu Salvador Dal\u00ed can only be visited with a guided tour, so make a <\/a>r<\/a>eservation beforehand<\/a>. Therefore it feels like a private visit. In the house, you immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Dal\u00ed, every item in the house is a bit strange. A unique place that you really must visit once in your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you like to book a trip to Girona and the Costa Brava?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides Girona, there are more beautiful places to be found in the Spanish Costa Brava and Catalonia.
