Girona is a jewel of culture and history acquired over 2000 years. The medieval town (called Força Vella) is surrounded by a magnificent wall which is preserved almost in its entirety. The Jewish quarter, known as the 'Call', spreads out in a maze of small, narrow and very often steeply sloping streets which still maintain their medieval atmosphere. Its magnificent cathedral boasts the widest Gothic nave of its kind in the world, with an impressive Baroque façade. The delightful narrow streets and alleyways of the old city provide an insight into another era, a time when life was moved at a different pace.
In this tour, you will learn important, humorous and interesting facts about the history of the city, its various churches and convents, bridges, narrow streets, impenetrable walls, squares and, of course, Girona's trademarks - the Cathedral and the Jewish quarter.
The experience: This walking tour is a great way to gain an overview of the city.
