Girona City Guide And Airport Transfer Service

Admire a city used as a filming location for Game of Thrones? Girona’s biggest claim to fame is that it was a filming destination for the sixth season of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. If you were a fan (until season 7 at least) you might recognize it as parts of Kings Landing, Braavos, and Old Town. In Catalonia's north-easterly area, the ancient provincial capital of Girona may be found roughly an hour's drive north of Barcelona. With the River Onyar running through its heart, this lovely walled city is adorned with multi-colored hanging buildings that appear to float over the river. Girona, a little medieval town, is a great place to visit. If you're looking for something a little less touristy than the adjacent popular beach resorts of Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, and Calella then this is the place for you!

In addition to being an Arab community for almost two centuries, the city has had a continuous Jewish presence over the last six centuries. Taking a late-summer evening stroll in the old quarter is a great opportunity to get a sense of the city's history and culture, as you meander through the maze of narrow alleys, alleyways, and iconic landmarks. A variety of charming cafés, tapas bars, terraced restaurants, and cafeterias await you after your journey around the ancient area.

Bus

Although Girona has 10 bus routes that cover nearly all of the city, there are more buses that travel to neighboring towns and cities. Purchases can be made onboard the bus or at locations where your card can be topped up. There are several types of tickets available. Single or multiple-ride tickets are available for purchase.

Train

In Girona, the train connects the city with other major towns in the region or country. Still, it's not the most adequate transportation in the city because it doesn't take you to several of its neighborhoods. However, it is a convenient option to go to Barcelona or the coastal towns of the region. 

Taxi

Taxis are easily available in Girona and the best way to transfer from the Airport. The bus terminals, the Adif trains in Girona, Independence Square, and Joan Maragall Street are the primary points of entry. All of them have taximeters (the price increases for nighttime rides). The taxis are typically white in color. 

Girona Airport Transfers and Private Taxi Service

Having to wait in a long taxi line at the airport arrivals gate might ruin your trip. The ideal option is to schedule a private transfer ahead of time, which will ensure a hassle-free trip and allow you to spend more time seeing the city. A Private Transfer provides premium personalized service, as well as clean and comfortable seats that give you a luxurious feel.
