Overview

Your day trip to Girona and the Costa Brava begins with pickup from your Barcelona hotel. Hop aboard an air-conditioned vehicle, and set off with just your guide (and small group, if option selected) for company.

Upon arrival in Girona, explore on a guided walking tour through the medieval Old Town. Take in highlights like the Roman walls, Cathedral, and Jewish Quarter along the way.

Next, head to the Costa Brava, with a stop to stroll through the charming historic town of Pals on the way. Continue on to the coastal village of Calella de Palafrugell, a former fishing village that has retained its original charm.

Get an overview of the town and its history with a guided walk, then take some time to sightsee, dine, or swim at the nearby coves on your own before the return transfer and drop-off in Barcelona.
