About this tour

Your guide collects you from your hotel or cruise port and takes you by speed train to wander the Jewish Quarter, climb the Cathedral steps, traverse the ancient walls, and cross the Eiffel-designed bridge. You'll recognise locations from the show whilst discovering layers of Catalan history stretching back centuries. The return train journey completes the day.

What to expect
Your guide meets you early and escorts you to the train station for the journey to Girona. Once there, you'll spend the morning and early afternoon on foot exploring the compact old city. Expect narrow cobblestone streets, steep climbs up to viewpoints, and plenty of stopping points where your guide explains the city's significance as a medieval stronghold and cultural centre. You'll see specific spots where the HBO series was shot, though the city's authentic history overshadows its Hollywood cameo. The Cathedral's staircase is genuinely imposing; the walls offer genuine breathing room and views across Catalonia. By late afternoon you'll return to the station for the train back.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the terrain is steep and uneven in places. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves sustained walking and stairs. Bring water and snacks—food isn't included. Train schedules are fixed, so punctuality matters. The city can be cool even in summer due to its elevation.
