Girona Tourist Information
Girona airport is promoted misleadingly as Barcelona Girona in spite of the
90km which separate the two Catalan cities. As a result a large number of
arrivals are immediately rushed off to Barcelona city without spending any time
in Girona.
Others arrive here and transfer to their resorts on the Costa Brava. If your
schedule allows then you really should try to spend some time in Girona itself
which is one of Spain's most attractive cities.
The city's main historical attractions include its Roman ruins, the charming
small streets of its Jewish quarter, the Arab Baths and the magnificent
cathedral which dominates the whole city from high above the Onyar River.
Many visitors arrive on day trips from Barcelona or from the many resorts of the
Costa Brava. Many of these excursions combine Girona with a visit to Figueres to
the north where the world famous Dali Museum is located.
