Six spots from GoT, all within Girona. I love how the guide ties scenes to real corners of the city, and I love the small-group pace that keeps things fun instead of rushed. You also get free admission tickets at each themed stop, but you should plan on decent walking and good weather.

This is a 1 hour 30 minutes walk that starts at Pl. de la Independència, 19 at 10:30 am, with the tour ending at Plaça de Sant Feliu near the Basílica de Sant Fèlix. It runs in English, uses a mobile ticket, and keeps the group capped at 12 people, which makes it easy to ask questions.

When I took the tour, our guide Joakim (a Girona native) did what I wish more guides did: he mixed Game of Thrones locations with practical Girona context. One note: the route includes stairs, so if you dislike uphill effort, it might feel like more work than you expected.

Key things I’d circle before you book

• Six locations, each mapped to a specific GoT moment so you know what you are looking at
• Free admission tickets built into the stops, not something extra you have to chase
• A small group of up to 12 people, which keeps the pace comfortable
• English tour with a mobile ticket, so check-in is quick
• A route that mixes big landmarks and quiet spots, from a cathedral to gardens

Game of Thrones Girona Walking Tour, what makes it worth your time

If you like Game of Thrones but you also want to actually enjoy Girona, this is a smart way to do both at once. The tour is short, tightly planned, and it points you at places you would probably miss if you were wandering solo. The GoT connections are the hook, but the real payoff is how quickly you learn the city’s layout.

You get an easy orientation to Girona’s Old Town area while your guide keeps the story moving. That matters because Girona is not huge, but it can feel like a maze of lanes and levels. This tour gives you a route you can repeat later on your own, with a clearer sense of where things sit.

Price and what you get for $33.72

At $33.72 per person for about 1 hour 30 minutes, the math is pretty good, especially if you value guided context. This price is not just for walking. It also ties into stops where admission tickets are free, and you are getting a guide in English.

The best value angle here is timing. A compact tour like this fits into a day when you want highlights without burning hours. Also, since the tour is often booked well in advance, it tends to run on a dependable schedule when you plan ahead.

Where the tour starts and ends, and why it matters

You start at Pl. de la Independència, 19, 17001 Girona at 10:30 am. You end at Plaça de Sant Feliu, in front of Basílica de Sant Fèlix, next to the Lioness’ Ass viewpoint area.

That finish point is practical. It places you right in the Old Town core so you can keep exploring afterward without backtracking. If you are pairing this with a museum visit or a long lunch, the end location gives you options.

The 90-minute pacing: comfortable for most, but bring the right mindset

This is six themed stops, each about 15 minutes. That format works because you are never stuck watching one thing forever. You get a quick introduction, a few details to look for on-site, then you move on.

Still, it is a walking tour. You will climb steps at one point, and you will be on your feet throughout. Also, the experience requires good weather. If Girona weather turns wet or windy, expect the operator to reschedule or refund you, but you will want to keep that flexibility in mind.

Stop 1: Catedral de Girona as the Great Sept of Baelor

The tour’s first big moment is Catedral de Girona. Your guide frames it as the Great Sept of Baelor in King’s Landing, and you are prompted to spot GoT references as you look around the cathedral area.

What I like about starting here is that it sets the tone fast. You are not just learning trivia. You are learning how the tour will teach you to “read” places in layers, one story at a time. Also, the stop includes a free admission ticket, so you can access the site rather than only looking from outside.

One small consideration: because this is a major landmark, you may find it busier than the rest of the route. Going in with the mindset that you are scanning for details, not trying to take a slow museum-style visit, helps.

Stop 2: Arab Baths as Arya’s Braavos escape

Next up: Arab Baths. The theme shifts to Braavos, with Arya Stark’s escape from the Waif in mind. It is a fun pivot, because the GoT framing turns a real-world location into an on-the-ground scene you can mentally step into.

This stop also runs about 15 minutes and includes free admission, which is a nice bonus. In a short tour, that combination is valuable. You are getting both story and site access without paying extra at each point.

Tip: if you love character-driven details, keep an eye on what your guide points out here. The whole tour works best when you treat each stop like a mini “assignment” for your eyes.

Stop 3: Riu Galligants and the Citadel Grand Library

The route then heads to Riu Galligants and the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. In the GoT mapping, this is linked to the Citadel Grand Library, with Samwell Tarly pretending to become a maester.

I like this stop because it teaches you something subtle about Girona. The city is not only about dramatic buildings. It also has quiet, tucked-away spaces that feel perfect for a story-world vibe. By pairing a monastery setting with a narrative about study and learning, the tour makes the location feel believable rather than random.

As with the others, you get about 15 minutes and the stop includes a free admission ticket. That keeps the tour efficient, while still giving you access to the featured area.

Stop 4: Jardins dels Alemanys for the higher viewpoint

After the denser stops, you get a break at Jardins dels Alemanys, a garden high up on the Old Town. The GoT theme is less about a specific character moment and more about giving you a perspective shift.

This is one of the reasons the tour feels well designed. Gardens and viewpoints change your pace, even if the walk continues. If you like taking in the city from a slightly different angle, this stop gives you that.

Practical note: since it is a higher spot, it can feel more exposed to wind or sun. Dress for the weather and you will enjoy it more.

Stop 5: Pujada de Sant Domenec and the climb

Then comes Pujada de Sant Domenec, a stair climb tied to Arya falling in Braavos. It is short, but it is the kind of moment where you realize this tour is active.

I recommend you treat this as a “reset” stop. Use it to adjust pace, catch your breath, and then enjoy the views and details after the climb. If you are traveling with anyone who struggles on stairs, this is the most obvious point to flag in advance.

As always, the stop is about 15 minutes and includes free admission, so it is not just a walk-by. You are supposed to pause and connect the GoT reference to where you are standing.

Stop 6: El Cul de la lleona, Basílica fronts and the Lioness’ Ass

The final stop is El Cul de la lleona. Here the framing is clever and visual: you see the Basílica from the front and the Ass of the Lioness from the back.

This is a fitting finale because it turns the tour theme into a practical photo and viewpoint challenge. You are not only told what to look for. You are also guided through the best way to see it from different angles, which makes the location feel like part of the story instead of a random landmark.

Once you finish here, you are set up to continue exploring because the tour ends at Plaça de Sant Feliu nearby. If you want to grab food, browse a nearby shop, or just wander toward more Old Town lanes, you will be in the right zone.

The guide experience: what Joakim seemed to do especially well

One standout from the people who have done this tour is the guide quality. In my experience, Joakim did a strong job mixing GoT shooting-location talk with real Girona context. That balance is what makes a themed tour feel worth your time rather than like a list of references.

He also kept the pace right. Not slow enough to feel tedious, not fast enough to feel frantic. That matters on a walk where each stop is 15 minutes. When pace is off, you either lose details or you start feeling like you are always chasing the group.

Also, being a Girona native seemed to translate into confidence. You can feel it when a guide knows the city at street level, not just from a script.

Small group size, and how it changes the feel

With a maximum of 12 people, this tour feels more like a guided stroll with conversation than a crowded stampede. For many people, that is the difference between enjoying the details and simply collecting photos.

A smaller group also makes it easier for the guide to respond. If you ask about a character connection or a specific place name, you are more likely to get a direct answer than a rushed one.

Who this walking tour is best for

This is a great pick if:

• You are a Game of Thrones fan who wants locations mapped clearly to what you are seeing
• You want a first-day orientation to Girona without doing a full-day commitment
• You like compact routes with stops that include free admission tickets
• You prefer small groups and an English guide

It may not be ideal if:

• You strongly dislike stairs or uphill walking
• You have zero flexibility with the weather, since the tour requires good weather and can be rescheduled if conditions are poor

How to use this tour to plan the rest of your Girona day

After the tour, I like to treat it as your “map key.” You now know which streets to aim for and which sites are worth lingering at later. Since the tour ends close to Plaça de Sant Feliu, you can head into the Old Town area quickly for food or for a longer look at one or two of the stops.

If you are also visiting museums or other attractions, this tour acts like a warm-up. You will recognize the city references, and you will spend your extra time more deliberately rather than randomly.

Should you book the Game of Thrones Girona Walking Tour?

Book it if you want a short, friendly way to connect Game of Thrones to real places in Girona. The biggest selling points for me are the small-group feel, the fact that each themed stop comes with free admission tickets, and the guide approach that blends story with practical local orientation.

Skip it only if walking and stairs are deal-breakers for you, or if your schedule is so tight that a weather reschedule would be a problem. If you can meet it on a good day, this is a smart use of 90 minutes that pays off for the rest of your Girona wandering.
