This tour is operated by our partner Girona Free Tour.
The Original Free Tour of Girona is your perfect introduction to a city where every stone has a story. From ancient Roman foundations to medieval wonders and modern-day flair, Girona is a place shaped by centuries... and this 2-hour walk brings its history, culture, and character to life in the most vivid way.
You’ll kick things off at Pl. de la Independència, then head into the heart of the Barri Vell (Old Town), where history oozes from every cobblestone. Discover the secrets of the Jewish Quarter, one of Europe’s best-preserved, and learn why it played such a crucial role in Girona’s past. You’ll visit the towering Girona Cathedral, stroll by the striking Sant Feliu Basilica, and take in the energy of Plaça del Vi, home to the Town Hall and centuries of stories.
As you wander through the Mercadal neighborhood, you’ll catch postcard-worthy views of the famous hanging houses on the Onyar river, with their colorful façades reflected in the water. You’ll also cross some of Girona’s most iconic bridges — including the Eiffel Bridge and the Old Stone Bridge — where modern engineering meets old-world charm.
Led by passionate local guides who know Girona like the back of their hand (and probably have a story for every corner), this tour blends history with humor, legends with local tips, and the must-sees with a few unexpected surprises. It’s an experience that connects the past to the present and leaves you looking at Girona’s future with fresh eyes.
