What fits into one day
The old quarter, cathedral area, Onyar riverfront and part of the walls form a sensible walking route. The stone streets and steps reward a slower pace.
Getting there
Girona has rail connections from Barcelona. Compare the current service and fare before choosing a train, as journey times vary.
Plan the day
Begin near the river, cross into the old quarter and climb towards the walls. Keep a quieter hour for lunch away from the main visitor route.
