Girona on foot: old town, cathedral and Game of Thrones
Updated October 18, 2026 · 5 min read
Girona’s old town works best on foot: the cathedral steps, Força Vella, Jewish quarter, Arab Baths area and city walls sit close together, but steep lanes and stairs slow the route. A general walk explains how these places connect; a filming tour uses some of the same streets for a different story.
Two different tours
The small-group Girona walking tour lasts about 2.5 hours. The Game of Thrones locations tour lasts about 2 hours. Choose history for a first visit and filming locations only when the series is a real interest. Neither replaces cathedral or museum admission.
A workable route
Start early around the cathedral, continue through Carrer de la Força and finish on the walls if steps suit you. Cobblestones make distance deceptive, so allow breaks. Compare all Girona walking tours. Travellers needing step-free access should ask the operator to confirm the exact route before booking.
