Girona is an incredibly vast and exquisite region, helping guests to discover an array of landmarks throughout their travels. If you wish to explore this region from new heights, a tour across the Eiffel Bridge is an ideal way to do so. This bridge was constructed by the acclaimed Gustav Eiffel and actually predates the Eiffel Tower, making it a very significant attraction across the region. Guests can trek along the length of this extensive monument and take in the sights of the Onyar River. As one of the most famous landmarks in the entirety of Girona, guests are encouraged to take their time and marvel at the tremendous sights that surround them. The Eiffel Bridge can be found just 30 minutes away from the villa, and from there, guests can go on to explore the rest of Girona.
Girona Cathedral is a deeply moving religious monument that is situated just under a 10-minute walk from the Eiffel Bridge. Perched on top of a very vast hill, guests must travel up the various steps in order to gain a glimpse of this grandiose building. Once inside, guests can observe an abundance of artefacts and fluters, helping to extend their understanding of this quaint city. Moreover, due to the sheer height of this cathedral, guests can also bask in a series of remarkable panoramic views, giving them a better look at some of the area's hotspots. As such, this is an ideal landmark to visit if you are looking to combine history with amazing views.
If you are a fan of all things fantasy, a Game of Thrones Walking Tour is a real treat. Girona was a key filming location for the series and depicted the fictional region of Braavos throughout the sixth season, making it a fantastic destination for any avid fan. Beginning at the local cathedral, guests will meander through the idyllic Jewish Quarter to discover how the cast and crew transformed this quiet area into an unbelievable world. The experienced tour guide will also provide comparison shots to offer a more comprehensive understanding of how the monuments were used in the show. A standard tour lasts for around two and a half hours and is available in both Spanish and English, making it suitable for foreign travellers.
