About
中世纪城市，拥有保存完好的犹太区和色彩斑斓的河边房屋。通往Costa Brava的门户，拥有宏伟的大教堂和阿拉伯浴场。
Girona is a medieval city in Catalonia, in the north-east of Spain, set along the banks of the river Onyar. It is a place to wander slowly, with its old streets, its historic quarter and its riverside houses as the main attractions. It is also known as Gerona.
What to see
- The Jewish quarter, one of the best-preserved in Europe, with narrow lanes that reward a walk without a fixed plan.
- The cathedral, a striking building that dominates the old town and is worth a visit in its own right.
- The Arab baths, a reminder of the many layers of history that the city has carried.
- The riverside houses, painted in bright colours and best seen from the bridges over the Onyar.
Around the city
Girona makes a convenient base for exploring the surrounding area. It is the gateway to the Costa Brava, so the coast is within reach for a day trip. Visitors who enjoy history will find the old town rewarding for a half-day or longer, while those who prefer the sea can combine the two in a single trip.
If you are deciding whether to go, Girona suits anyone interested in medieval architecture, quiet walks through old streets, and a relaxed pace of travel with the coast close by.
