It is because they are Game of Thrones fans and the show filmed some scenes in this town, and this includes the Girona Cathedral and the steps!! I have never seen Game of Thrones but I equally enjoy visiting the Girona Cathedral because it is a magnificent and beautiful gothic cathedral, it is certainly impressive especially when I walked up the stairs and looked at it closely. There is also a garden, Jardines de La Francesa located right next to the Cathedral, make sure you visit it as well when you visit!! #境外遊 #spain #girona #gameofthrones

If you are traveling to Barcelona, ​​I highly recommend Girona. You can get there in 39 minutes by Renfeta, and if you bundle it with Figueres, it is a trip that departs at 9 AM and returns to Barcelona around 6 PM, making it a great one-day course. Girona is a leisurely city where you can walk around with a Gothic feel, have a draft beer, and have a delicious lunch~ #Girona #GironaCastle #GironaOldTown #GameofThronesFilmingLocation #EuropeTravel #GironaCathedral #BarcelonaSuburbs

Girona is a beautiful small city in the Catalonia region of Spain. It’s the gateway to the Costa Brava. Girona is popular with tourists as much of the old quarter of the ancient city has been preserved. It’s easy to reach Girona from Costa Brava airport. There are public bus services but they run quite infrequently, however there are other companies that offer coach transfers or there is the option to take a taxi. #getgoing2025 #girona #spain

A walk along the magnificent mediaeval walls of Giona is a really great way to soak up the city landscape. The city has a rich history that goes back to the Roman times and the ancient walls and fortifications are truly impressive. Nowadays, it’s possible to walk along the walls and enjoy the views of the city and the surrounding countryside. When visiting Girona, this is a great way to spend a leisurely afternoon. #getgoing2025 #murallesdegirona #citywalls #girona #mediaeval

In the northeast of Spain, there is a low-key thousand-year-old city hidden. Although there are only 100,000 people here, many complete medieval buildings are preserved, such as churches, city walls, neighborhoods... This small town silently records everything that happened in the Middle Ages. Because of this, it has become a favorite filming location for many movies and TV series. The most famous one is "Game of Thrones", where King's Landing, Braavos and the Citadel were all filmed. It is only an hour's drive from Barcelona. The style is completely different. Girona is quiet, simple and mysterious with few people. City Wall Walk (Carrer de la Muralla) - Girona Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María) - Jewish Quarter (El Call) - Sant Pere de Galligants Monastery (Monestir de Sant Pere de Galligants) - Stone Bridge (Pont de Pedret) - Puente de las Pescaderias Viejas - Plaça de l'Oli - Rambla de la Libertad

If you ever visit Barcelona, don't miss the sunset at Castell de Montjuïc. It's truly a magical experience. Castell de Montjuïc was the first place we visited during our 4-day trip to Barcelona, and we were lucky enough to witness the sunset there. As the sun began to set, the scenery became increasingly breathtaking. We were fortunate to see the clouds forming the shape of a phoenix, which made the moment even more special. While visitors often take the Montjuïc cable car to the top of the hill, we chose to walk up the winding paths through Montjuïc Park, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Castell de Montjuïc (Montjuïc Castle) is a historic fortress in Barcelona, so we spent time wandering around the 17th-century fortress and visiting the courtyard. #bestsunset

Visiting Girona Cathedral was an unforgettable experience, standing atop the city with its grand staircase and imposing facade. The intricate details of the Gothic and Romanesque architecture were stunning, and the vast interior, with its high vaulted ceilings, felt both majestic and serene. The cathedral houses the famous Tapestry of Creation, a remarkable medieval artwork. I recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds and climb the bell tower for panoramic views of Girona. Exploring the nearby Jewish Quarter and walking along the old city walls added to the charm of this historic site. #spain #spaintrip #girona #gironatrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #citywalk #summerdestinations

#weekendgetaways If the culture and sights if Catalan interest you. And the same you wish to avoid the herds of tourists like in Barca. Girona is your best option. This riverside charming city has plenty to do. From cultural fests, to historic sites and museums. It has plenty to see. The food is impressive as well. It's good scene and local specialities can be savoured in markets too. The old town is so compact that it takes less than two hours to walk a circuit of it following the Passeig de la Muralla city wall route. The bars and restaurants on the left bank of the river are also close together. Girona makes for an excellent getaway and if you have more time. And you don't wish to miss barcelona then you know that you're just a little over 35 minutes train ride from barcelona. #weekendgetaways

📍 Girona, Spain, is the perfect summer destination! The Ancient City Walls, or Passeig De La Muralla, were built as a fortification to protect Girona from invaders. The walls were originally built by the Romans in 1BC and completely surrounded the medieval town of Girona. This is a must-do experience on your trip to Girona.

📍 Girona, Spain is the perfect summer destination! One of the iconic images of Girona along the Onyar River are many brightly coloured houses, all painted in vibrant shades of brick red, ochre, brown, yellows and rich oranges. This colour palette was decided in the late 20th century by a team of artists and architects. The picturesque houses that line the river are known as the Hanging Houses (Le Casas Penjades). One of the most iconic buildings is the Maso House (Casa Maso), which was once home to a famous Catalan architect Rafael Maso. 📸 The best way to view the houses is from one of the bridges across the river. #summerdestinations #spain #spaintrip #girona #gironatrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #citywalk

This year’s Girona Flower Festival was a bit disappointing The Flowering Season exhibition takes place every year in Barri Vell, Girona, and in the days leading up to the exhibition the city is filled with plants and flowers. This floral display turns various attractions, courtyards and even corners of the city into unique gardens. Visitors feel like they are in a concert of wonderful colorful aromas, while at the same time admiring the cultural heritage of this Catalan city. This small town less than half an hour away from Barcelona (high-speed train) is the filming location for "Perfume" and "Game of Thrones". What makes me happiest is that starting from the second week of May every year, the old town (Barri Vell) is filled with flowers, and the whole city turns into a huge garden. After leaving Girona train station, walk northeast and cross the Pont de pedra bridge. Walking north along the Girona Ramblas de Libertad, you will see the famous red iron bridge Pont de les Peixateries Velles. After crossing the bridge you can see the Cathedral of Girona. You can start exploring the old town with the Cathedral of Girona as the starting point and landmark. Nearby alleys and historic buildings feature courtyards decorated with flowers and plants. During the Flower Festival, in addition to the steps in front of the Girona Cathedral being covered with flowers, the courtyard inside the Cathedral is highly recommended. In addition, the path behind the church is very historical. This festival has a history of more than 60 years. It started with some young entrepreneurs in 1954, held in some halls of the city hall, and has now become an international flower festival. It attracts hundreds of traveling placers from all over the world each year. Flowers and roses in Girona cover the entire streets, along with the city lights and fountains, adding more beautiful colors to this festival. It's a pity that the flowers in recent years seem to have lacked some of the bright colors that attract people's eyes. Most of the flower baskets are mainly white, including the flower carpet in front of the main church. There are also white flowers, and they are sparse. , lost the shock of previous years. Girona

Visiting Girona was an enchanting experience, offering a blend of historical richness, vibrant culture, and scenic beauty. Located in Catalonia, Spain, this small city captivated me with its charm and diverse attractions. The medieval architecture of Girona was one of the first things that caught my attention. The city's historic center, or Barri Vell, is a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets, towering stone walls, and beautifully preserved buildings. Walking through the Jewish Quarter, or El Call, was particularly fascinating. This area is one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe, and its maze-like streets and ancient buildings evoke a sense of history that is palpable. The Cathedral of Girona, with its impressive Baroque facade and Gothic interior, was another highlight. Climbing the steps to the cathedral provided not only a sense of achievement but also stunning views over the city. One of the most memorable aspects of Girona was the Onyar River, which runs through the heart of the city. The brightly colored facades of the houses lining the riverbank created a picturesque scene that felt almost like stepping into a painting. The numerous bridges crossing the river, such as the iconic Eiffel Bridge, offered perfect vantage points for capturing the beauty of this unique cityscape. The culinary scene in Girona was another delight. Catalan cuisine is known for its bold flavors and fresh ingredients, and I had the pleasure of sampling many local dishes. One of the standout experiences was dining at a traditional tapas bar, where I savored dishes like patatas bravas, pan con tomate, and butifarra. Another highlight was trying xuixo, a local pastry filled with crema catalana, which was absolutely delicious. The surrounding countryside of Girona provided opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration. I took a day trip to the nearby Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, where I hiked through lush forests and explored ancient volcanic craters. The natural beauty of the area was breathtaking and offered a serene contrast to the urban charm of the city. The people of Girona were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Whether I was seeking directions, recommendations, or simply engaging in casual conversation, the locals were always approachable and eager to share their love for their city. My experience in Girona was a delightful blend of historical exploration, culinary adventures, and natural beauty. It’s a city that invites you to immerse yourself in its rich heritage, savor its flavors, and appreciate its scenic landscapes.

Girona is a beautiful medieval town north east of Barcelona, made famous during the Games of Throne TV series. The capital of Girona was chosen due to the great level of preservation of its historical heritage, becoming one of the privileged few to host the filming of the most expensive series in the history of television. Some famous landmark include the Cathedral of Girona, Jewish quarters in old town and the walking walls. #girona #gameofthronestour

#EuropeanTravel During my trip to Girona, a tourist destination near Barcelona, ​​I stopped by Girona Cathedral. 📍Location: Pl. de la Catedral, s/n, 17004 Girona, Spain I didn't go inside separately, and I only looked around the outside castle walls, but it was nice! The views on the right and left sides of the castle walls are different, so I think it would be good to take a leisurely walk around and look around! The weather was nice, so it was really nice to look around. The bell rings on the hour, and the sound is really loud. Haha. My heart naturally becomes pious..🙏🏻 The view of the town from the cathedral is really pretty, and it's surprisingly spacious, so it's good to look around every nook and cranny, so definitely go!

#European travel “Girona”, a popular tourist destination near Barcelona This area, also called Girona, is also famous as a filming location for Hyun Bin’s movies. It’s about an hour away from Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia by Renfe train. The name of the area is Girona! It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on the type of train. The price was 22.50 euros round trip (as of November 2023). It’s a small town, so you can walk around it all in one day without needing a transportation pass. I think I walked around here and there to feel the quiet feeling. The 1st to 6th photos were taken at the famous Eiffel Bridge! It’s really pretty, so be sure to walk across the bridge. 📍 Pont de les Peixateries Velles Location: Carrer del Riu Onyar, 17004 Girona, Spain
