Tours in Girona from local guides

Girona is the capital of the Catalan province of the same name, which is situated 100 km from the famous Barcelona. This city has a large number of architectural and historical sites because it was founded more than two thousand years ago. The beautiful landscapes that complete the unique urban environment and give it a special charm also deserve attention.

The main attraction of Girona is the historic city with its ancient defensive fortifications, the ancient fortress of Forsa Vella, and the surrounding Medieval Quarter. Some structures were built in the 9-11th centuries. Lovers of educational tour programs should come here for a highlight tour with a local English-speaking guide, who knows fully well the history of each site and will be happy to share it with you.

It is also worth seeing in Girona:

• the Medieval Jewish Quarter, which has the most beautiful arched squares and the Bishop's Palace of the 12-16 centuries with an Museum of Art. Perhaps you can come here with a side tour because this site has not only historical but also artistic value, so it deserves the most intense attention;
• the Archeology Museum;
• the Cathedral;
• the most beautiful waterfront of the river of Onyar;
• the 13th-century Gothic Monastery of Sant Domenec;
• the Collegiate Church of St. Felix;
• bridges over the Onyar, one of which was designed by Eiffel, who was famed for creating the world-famous Paris Tower;
