What to expect
Your guide meets you in the old quarter and leads you through narrow, uneven cobblestone streets between medieval buildings. You'll stop at Roman remains and touch the actual stone foundations, then climb the city walls—steady legs help here—where views open across rooftops and the Onyar River. The Jewish quarter visit involves winding passages and stories of the community's history. Between stops, your guide shares local legends and points out Game of Thrones scenes filmed here.
