Once you arrive in the old city of Girona - The Game Of Thrones Town, your driver will take you to the historic Jewish Quarter. This is the perfect place to get out of the car and stretch your legs while admiring the beautiful medieval streets. In this area, you can find the traditional Arab Baths, the Gothic Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu, and the ancient 3Girona Cathedral. Climb the 86 steps of the Cathedral and get a close-up view of Catalan Architecture created by Jaume Fabre.

Your driver will then take you past the famous Onyar River so you can admire all the lovely little colored houses resting on its banks, and perhaps stop to take some iconic Girona photos. Your next stop will be at one of the most popular landmarks in the city, the medieval City Walls. If you have time, you can walk the entire length of the walls and climb the lookout towers, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the city below.

As you near the middle of your tour, you can take a break and enjoy an authentic Spanish lunch. Ask your driver for a restaurant recommendation, or take a walk around the center of the city to find your perfect spot. After you have restored some of your energy, you can choose to spend the rest of the day exploring Girona, or you can visit the two nearby towns:  Medieval Town of Pals and Medieval Town of Peratallada.

Pals is a quaint medieval village full of cobblestone streets, gothic architecture and lovely little cafes. While in this town, be sure to check out the famous Roman-style Torre de Les Hores, a huge tower standing proudly above the other buildings. Peratallada is an extremely well-preserved feudal village, best known for its stone buildings, carved from the moat which encircles most of the city. This village is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee before embarking on the return journey to Barcelona.

Once you have finished exploring the lovely villages of Pals and Peratallada, your driver will take you on a leisurely afternoon drive back to your accommodation in Barcelona, concluding your tour of Girona.
