The small medieval city of Girona is scenic in every way: between the majestic Pyrenees peaks and the rugged coast of Costa Brava, this town has a rich history to explore. Walk on cobble-stoned streets and past colorful buildings to discover the city. One of the best things to do here, though, is a walk along its impressive city walls. Girona was a filming location in the world-famous Game of Thrones TV series, so if you recognize some locations, don't be surprised.

The major highlight of this tour, however, is the Jewish quarter. Located in the heart of the old quarter of the city of Girona, the Jewish Quarter is one of the most emblematic spaces of the town. Formed by a labyrinth of patios and alleys, you can still feel the medieval atmosphere hovering around you. Today, it is part of the city and Girona's identity. Even though they were assumed to have arrived in the year 890, they had to wait until 1160 to find their documented presence in the cathedral archives. Discuss facts and stories about Girona's history with your expert guide as you go, and enjoy this exciting and educational guided tour through the city's past.
