Detailed itinerary

Girona is a historic city in northeastern Catalonia, Spain, known for its beautifully preserved medieval center and a rich blend of cultural influences. The city sits at the confluence of four rivers.

The Eiffel Bridge in Girona—officially called Pont de les Peixateries Velles—is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1877 by the Eiffel company (the same engineering firm behind the Eiffel Tower), it is a striking example of 19th-century iron architecture.

The Jewish Museum of Girona, officially known as the Museum of Jewish History (Museu d’Història dels Jueus), is one of the most important cultural institutions in the city. Located in the heart of El Call, Girona’s exceptionally well-preserved medieval Jewish Quarter, the museum explores the life, culture, and legacy of the Jewish community that flourished in the city during the Middle Ages.

The Cathedral of Girona, officially the Cathedral of Santa Maria, is one of the city’s most iconic monuments, dominating the skyline from its hilltop position in the medieval quarter.
World’s widest Gothic nave:
Its single Gothic nave—measuring 22 meters across—is the widest of its kind in the world, creating a breathtakingly open and luminous interior.
Blend of architectural styles:
Construction spanned several centuries, resulting in a unique combination of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque elements.
The Romanesque cloister (12th century) is one of the cathedral’s oldest and most peaceful spaces.
The Gothic interior offers soaring height and dramatic light.
The Baroque façade (completed in the 18th century) towers above the monumental staircase of 90 steps.

Stop 5

The Arab Baths of Girona (Banys Àrabs) are a beautifully preserved 12th-century bathhouse inspired by Roman and Muslim architectural traditions. Despite the name, they were not built by Arabs, but the design imitates the style of traditional Islamic hammams that were popular across the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages.

Stop 6

In Girona, you will have the chance to take a walking tour through the streets, squares, and buildings of the Jewish Quarter—one of the best-preserved in all of Europe.
