Influenced by different cultures and religions, the city beckons visitors with beautiful architecture. The Old and New Town offer many opportunities to pleasurably get lost and observe local life and culture.

Definitely a chocolate lovers paradise! You can buy handmade bonbons, truffles or bars of chocolate. We stopped by for espressos and truffles to enjoy while we browsed and left with little gift box sets of 12 bonbons each. The craftsmanship of their chocolate bonbons is exquisite :)

6. Esglesia de Sant Feliu

Standing close to the Cathedral makes it easy to visit both Churches. The Church of Sant Feliu was the main Church of Girona before the construction of the Cathedral. It is noted for its eight Roman and early Christian sarcophagi of the 3rd and 4th centuries and the Gothic Tomb of Narcissus of Girona who traditionally was one of the early Bishops. It is much smaller than the Cathedral but nevertheless worth a visit and has a nice atmosphere and lovely stained-glass windows.
7. Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 120 reviews
In this monastery, a jewel of Catalan Romanesque architecture, you can learn about the earliest history of humankind in the Girona region, from prehistory to the mediaeval period, through the collection of archaeological objects on display.

Tried to see the chapel on our last visit four years ago but an exhibition seemed to be taking place so it wasn't possible. So glad I came back. Worth visiting for the chapel alone, very atmospheric 12th Century building and the Rose Window (no glass) is quite awesome. If, like me, you are into history and archeology (or even if you're not!), you will really enjoy this museum which traces civilisation from Neanderthal through to modern times with artefacts to illustrate. Most of the exhibits are labelled in English as well as Castilian Spanish and Catalan, which is not also so. Only spent a couple of hours here but could have spent much longer!

Girona Art Museum is located in the incomparable setting of the former Bishop’s Palace, a building first documented in the 10th century. It now houses the most important art collection in Girona province, with pieces dating from Romanesque times to the early 20th century.The building still conserves several spaces that bear witness to its original function, notably the Episcopal gaol and the superb garden, open to the public on several occasions throughout the year.
