About this tour
Slip back two millennia exploring Girona's layered streets on this small-group excursion from Barcelona. You'll travel by high-speed train—Spain's quickest and cleanest option—then walk the medieval core with a specialist guide. Wander the Jewish Quarter, peer into the Arab Baths, cross the iron footbridge, and climb the city walls for views across the surrounding plains. Five hours, eight people maximum, includes all transport and entry fees.

What to expect
After boarding the train in Barcelona, you'll arrive in Girona within the hour. Your guide meets you at the station and leads you through narrow cobbled lanes, pointing out architectural details and backstories as you go. You'll enter the Arab Baths—a restored 12th-century complex with cool rooms, warm rooms, and hypocaust systems still visible beneath your feet. The Jewish Quarter feels almost frozen in time, with tight alleyways and shuttered stone facades. You'll scale sections of the medieval walls where cathedral spires puncture the skyline. The Eiffel Bridge offers a dramatic vantage point. The pace is measured; expect plenty of stops to absorb the surroundings and ask questions.
