Your Private Girona Day Trip from Barcelona by Train starts with a 38-minute high-speed train ride giving you just enough time to enjoy the scenery while sipping your second cup of coffee before arriving at Girona where your local expert guide will be waiting for you.
The first monument you will see is the Cathedral of Girona, located at the highest point in the city. This church was started in the 900s, but was not officially finished until the 1970s. Allow your guide to lead you on a walk back through history as you explore its different parts and former inhabitants, including its stunning Romanesque cloister and the amazing 11th-century Tapestry of Creation.
Next, it is on to the Arab Baths which though functional in their heyday of the 14th century, are impressive to visitors of the 21st century for the beauty of the central pool which is characterized by its 8 columns in Saracen style. The mixture of Roman, Moorish, and Jewish cultures makes this room a perfect example of the cultural harmony that made it stand out in the Middle Ages.
Your next destination on this tour is the Jewish Quarter located just a stone’s throw from the Cathedral. Walk through this 12th-century neighborhood in the company of your expert local guide and you will learn what life was like there before the Jewish community was expelled by Papel order in 1391.
Since 2016 and after closing down the city for three days, your local guide is happy to point out the different settings for scenes of Game of Thrones. A walk through this town will be strangely nostalgic of King’s Landing and Braavos… Perhaps one of the most epic scenes that fans will want to visit in real life is the Baroque staircase where Jaime Lannister battles with High Sparrow.
Once your tour is complete, you can choose to remain and explore a bit further or stay for lunch!
