I was in Girona many years ago and I have a memory of a place but I'm not sure if it's in Girona. Is there a place where you have to walk up many steep steps but when you get to the top their is a flat plateau of short grass with one big tree in front of a medieval building, with maybe a museum or something in it?
Great video, thank you. I’m taking my boys to Palafrugell at the end of August, we’ll be flying into Girona and plan to spend a day there exploring. I was there exactly 30 years ago with my father and have always wanted to return with my own kids. They’re so excited! But not nearly as much as I am!
My family of four had an incredible day tour of Girona with Patrick last month! So much beauty and history, Patrick really knows his history and how to lead a VIP tour. We met in Barcelona and took a quick train to Girona for the day. Can’t recommend Patrick enough for all things Spain! Thanks for making our Spain trip so memorable Patrick!! 🇪🇸
Hi Patrick, I just got back from Spain and let me tell you I had an awesome time visiting many places, monuments, medieval castles, churches and I passed that Gironia town to check out Avila and Segovia. I would most definitively will visite Spain again
I thoroughly enjoyed this guide to Girona. We didn't have a lot of time to explore when we visited last May. I did enjoy Rocambolesc. Barcelona is my favorite city to visit. Next time we'll consider staying overnight or two in Girona. Thank you for all your recommendations. 🙂
My wife and I just discovered your channel, and just wanted to say we love your vids! Planning to visit Barca next July, Thank you so much for excellent content. Super informative
Hey Patrick, I'm coming to Barcelona next year and I might want to take a couple of your tours. How much is your tour of Barcelona and how much for Girona? Gracias o Merci
I'm heading to Girona in a couple of days... looking forward to it... thanks for the great vid, but also for the headups regarding the GOT sites... only one thing I wanted to point out is the Hebrew spelling of Sefarad in your video... it should be ספרד, since Hebrew is written from right to left... Other than that, excellent video. Can't wait to visit Girona!
Thanks Sebastian! Youre gonna love Girona. And you are correct. The spelling was turned around in the pop-up and is revered from the wiring on the symbol. Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you Patrick, wonderful video, I would like to ask you what you would recommend for a summer family vacation with two children, a vacation near Barcelona, of course the city should be on the sea. Best regards
I am coming to Barcelona in September 2023, and i was wondering if you have any go to restaurants or food tour? Do you personally give any tours? And or have a restaurant list or anything that I could use I'm gonna watch all the videos and like them et cetera but I was wondering if you have a website or anything more?
Thanks ahead of time Anton. All the of the links for what you are looking for can. E found in the video descriptions. Website, food guide, tours; all of it! Have a look and let me Know if you need anything!
great guide, i am watching all your videos :) Whats the best way to get to Girona from Barcelona, round trip for the same day? We'd like to explore it ourselves (following your guidance of course) rather than picking a guided group trip from Barcelona. Thank you in advance xxx
Do you recommend to buy train tickets in advance, at least the return? It will be our 1st time, so we are not sure how long time we will spend in our day trip 😊
Have you been to these day trip locations during the winter season as well? If so, was the sun shining as well (while still with lower temperatures), or was it both dark and uncomfortably cold?
The sun shines all year long in Barcelona. Dark and uncomfortably cold are not really options. And yes, I have been to these places in every season. Girona specifically has many less people there and is colder, yes.
Awesome videos, thank you for taking the time to make these. My wife and I are headed to Barcelona this weekend and we are planning on seeing Girona. What would be the best way to travel from Barcelona to Girona?
Hi Patrick, please advise my flight leaves BCN @10:30 AM Does fast train from Girona connecting to BCN airport l will spend my last night in Girona ,is it possible ? Thanks
Hello Patrick , Your videos are so helpful! What is the best option travel way ( train , car etc. ) for Figueres - Girona from Barcelona ( 5 adults + 2 child )
@@PatrickGuideBarcelona I would also like to check if there are like tour packages or something which we can book from Barcelona and they take care of everything like travel, guided tour of places and Girona, lunch and travel back? It will be great if you can help on the same :)
Hi Patrick, I'm going to be at Barcelona just for 12 hours on April 18th, and just saw your video o Girona day trip. Can you advise the better way to get to Girona and, if you have to pick just one day trip from Barcelona, which one you recommend (departing around 9 am and coming back by end of the same day)? Thanks
Hi Gilberto! Must have missed this, hope you figured everything out, as it’s tomorrow. But if you’re only going to be in Barcelona for 12 hours I would vary in the city and not leave! To get to Girona, you take the fast trains from Sants
Just a few stops on the metro. Honestly, and please don’t take this the wrong way, butGoogle maps is gonna help you with that a lot more than me with a much more specific timeframe, unless there is something more specific you need. Cheers
I have a connecting flight to Barcelona , basically to flights to reach , which flight number should I fill up ? Istanbul to Barcelona or the previous one
Patrick, your follower here, another good video! I know it is a different subject, please help. I am travelling from Brazil to Madrid with Iberia, do you know if Iberia has an in-flight mask mandate in place? I cannot find that answer anywhere
Amazing video! Thanks for the useful content!! I am currently planning for my trip to barcelona in october, and I've been wondering if I could buy train tickets from barcelona to girona on-site in the train station? Or should I buy tickets way ahead via renfe website?
Hi Patrick great video! We definitely will put Girona in our bucket list for our trip next year. If we decided to stay for two or three days any recommendations on Hotels or Hostales. Thanks Zoe and Ramon

Hello Im from girona, its nice to see people appreciate things that are common to us, it makes me look my city in another eyes
I was in Girona many years ago and I have a memory of a place but I'm not sure if it's in Girona. Is there a place where you have to walk up many steep steps but when you get to the top their is a flat plateau of short grass with one big tree in front of a medieval building, with maybe a museum or something in it?
Yes, it's nice until the volume of tourism drives you out of your city.
Great video, thank you.

I loved guiding in Girona back in 2018, Patrick was the one who trained me so anyone visiting Girona with him is in good hands!!
Oh, Ed! Thanks mate!
Me encanta Girona, qué hermoso es todo; los sitios históricos, esas callejuelas antiguas preciosas, qué hermosa es. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
Muchísimas de nadas!
Thank you for showing us this beautiful city.
You’re welcome Donna
Nicely done. Thank you. Just the perfect amount of information and visually appealing choreography. Thank you.

You’re very welcome! Some popular seaside towns near Girona are: Tossa de Mar, Lloret de Mar, Cadaques
@PatrickGuideBarcelona Gracias Patrick you are great man, we chose Girona and Tossa de Mar.
Enjoy!
currently in Barcelona! trying to see and do as much as I can in one day. 😢
Short time. But you can pack a lot in in one day!
@@PatrickGuideBarcelona metro makes everything accesible. On to my last thing on my list; Barceloneta!
Making my ways through your day trip videos from Barcelona and really enjoying the scenery! How do you get from Barcelona to Girona? Train?
I see that! Thanks for watching. Yes, the fast train is the best way to get there
Actually we don't say Eiffel Bridge to Pont de les Peixateries Velles, locals call it Pont de Ferro (iron bridge).
Thanks Ernest!
Hye Patrick. Can u guide me on how to get to Girona, which train or bus, how much is the fare and so on.
My recommendation is taking the Renfe train. There and back is about 28 euros. Extremely fast. Dropa you off right in the center
@@PatrickGuideBarcelona Alright thank you for the recommendation Patrick

Very much appreciated! I really like Tarragona. Beautiful city.
Excellent informational video. What is the cheapest way to get to Girona from Barcelona if not driving a car?
The train!
Thank you for that awesome video 🎉 we are going on a sunday, would you recommend it going on a sunday or on another day
Thank you
You’re welcome! You’ll find more stores closed on a Sunday. You can still visit the city though so
La fabrica is also a great cafe and you might see a heap of professional athletes there

Hi Patrick, please advise my flight leaves BCN @10:30 AM Does fast train from Girona connecting to BCN airport l will spend my last night in Girona ,is it possible ? Thanks
It does not connect directly. You need to go to Sants station and take the train from there to girona
What is the best connection to BCN airport from Sants station if I take the early morning train from Girona? Thank you
@jadedinh3295 the train to the airport
Your videos are so helpful! I messaged you on IG.. would love to join in on your tours... especially Girona!
Appreciate that Justine, I'll get back to you on IG
Hello Patrick , Your videos are so helpful! What is the best option travel way ( train , car etc. ) for Figueres - Girona from Barcelona ( 5 adults + 2 child )
Train if it’s just girona, but if you want the flexibility get a car!

Plenty of time to get to girona and back in one day. Many trains running throughout the day!

About GoT?

Girona is Catalonia, not Spain.
