Girona is a mediaeval city full of charm.<\/strong> The Onyar houses, the cathedral, the iron bridge, the city walls and the Jewish quarter are just some of the iconic images in our city.<\/p>\n\n

You won\u2019t get bored in Girona. <\/p>\n\n

We always say that Girona boasts the best things of a city<\/strong> with its gastronomy, leisure, culture, but with the peace and quiet of a small town<\/strong>. Here there are no underground systems, no large avenues and no overcrowding. <\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re coming to Girona for the first time, you should be aware that:<\/h2>\n\n
    \n
  • The Devesa<\/strong> is our green lung. This park is the largest urban park in Catalonia, and it\u2019s the favourite place for the people of Girona who want to go for a walk or run. It\u2019s a few minutes from our hotel. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 We have the best restaurants! And we\u2019re not just saying that. In Girona there are restaurants like El Celler de Can Roca<\/strong>, which has been named the best restaurant in the world on several occasions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 We\u2019re a theatre city, with Temporada Alta<\/strong>, featuring a wide range of prestigious drama productions, and FITAG<\/strong>, the international amateur theatre festival. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 If you\u2019re into music, we recommend you to go to the festivals<\/strong> and concerts that are held throughout the year. The Strenes Festival, the Black Music Festival, the Girona A Capella, the Festivalot and so on. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 If you\u2019re a lover of sporting events, you can go to Montilivi to watch a football match (Girona FC<\/strong>) or, if you prefer basketball, the Fontajau sports hall hosts the teams of Uni Girona<\/strong> and B\u00e0squet Girona<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 Finding somewhere to park isn\u2019t always easy. This is why it will be wonderful to be able to park at the hotel and calmly explore the city on foot. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • To get around the city you can use the Girocleta<\/strong>, the public bicycle service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2022 Visiting the city on foot is really easy. You can visit the main tourist attractions by taking a quiet and pleasant walk. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
