Things to do in Girona

Forty minutes by fast train from Barcelona, Girona rewards a day trip with a perfectly preserved medieval core: the colourful houses lining the Onyar, one of Europe's best-kept Jewish quarters (El Call), Game of Thrones filming steps and a cathedral with the widest Gothic nave in the world. It pairs naturally with the Dalí museum in Figueres or the Costa Brava coast. These are the best-rated guided tours and day trips from Barcelona.
