Girona can feel like a movie set, and this tour proves it. You walk the old streets that doubled as Braavos and King’s Landing, with a guide and an iPad that lines up scenes with real places. It is a short, focused stroll that helps you spot what most guidebooks rush past.

I especially like the scene-matching iPad. One guide I ran into, Dylan, used the tablet to connect what you see on screen to what you can still stand in front of today. I also love that the route mixes GoT moments with Girona landmarks, including Sant Pere de Galligants and the Church of Sant Feliu.

One drawback to consider: this is a walking, storytelling tour, not a museum-style deep dive. You will want comfy shoes, and since no food or drinks are included, bring water or plan to refuel after.

Game of Thrones in Girona: more than fan service

Girona is one of those places where film magic is built on real stone. This tour focuses on the transformation that viewers associate with Braavos and King’s Landing, but it does it with your feet on the ground and your eyes open. You are not just hearing where scenes were shot. You are learning how filmmakers used this city’s medieval layout as a convincing backlot.

You will hear references tied to specific seasons, including season six scenes filmed in Girona. And because the guide uses an iPad to compare real locations with what you remember on screen, you start noticing the same angles, textures, and streetscapes that the camera picked up. That makes the whole experience feel sharper, like the show has a map you can actually walk.

Meeting at Plaça de Sant Feliu, and how the route works

You start at Plaça de Sant Feliu, 17004 Girona. The tour ends back at the same meeting point, so you do not have to think about a new drop-off location at the end of your walk.

The total time is about two hours. That is ideal for a first look at the city center because you are getting a tight route through the old core, with enough stops to pause for photos and scene comparisons. It also helps that the experience is in English, and you get a mobile ticket.

One practical note: Girona streets can include uneven pavement and some uphill sections near stairways. The tour notes that most people can participate, and guides have adjusted pacing for older visitors in past groups, but you should still plan for a steady walking tour.

Sant Martí Sacosta and the Pujada de Sant Domenech stair moment

A key early stop is Església de Sant Martí Sacosta, near the Pujada de Sant Domenech. This area is closely tied to the famous Girona staircase, which is one of those local features that GoT fans recognize instantly once someone points it out.

What makes this stop work well is how the guide frames it. You learn to think like a camera: where would someone stand to capture the height, the turns, the narrowing streets, and the way stone catches light? Then you get to walk it, which helps the location comparisons click fast.

This is also where the tour starts building its theme. As you move, you are constantly connecting the medieval city layout to what viewers see in the series, so by the time you reach the Jewish Quarter, you are already looking with intention.

Jewish Quarter lanes: Claveria, Sant Llorenç, and Braavos-style streets

Next comes the winding alleyways of the Jewish Quarter. This is where the tour feels most like a guided wandering session, but with structure. You will move along streets including Claveria and Sant Llorenc, places linked in the series to Braavos.

Expect medieval architecture up close, not just seen from the outside of a postcard frame. Small details matter here: narrow corridors, stone facades, and how a street bends. That is exactly what film companies love, because the city’s geometry does the work for them.

One nice part: the guide ties the pacing to what you are watching for. You are given time for photos and for the iPad comparisons, so it does not feel like a sprint between GoT landmarks. It feels more like, stop, look, connect, then keep going.

If you love the show, you will likely get extra satisfaction from the way the guide layers in story flavor, such as references to characters like Arya Stark and Jon Snow. Just remember, even if you are not a superfan, this is still a beautiful city walk.

Cathedral of Santa Maria and the German Headquarters battle-set feel

After the Jewish Quarter, the route brings you past the Cathedral of Santa Maria and into the neighborhood around the German Headquarters, a barracks-style fortification used for battle scenes.

This is a strong stop for two reasons. First, the Cathedral area gives you a sense of scale in the old city. Second, the German Headquarters connection turns the story from “cool filming location” into “how scenes were staged in real spaces.”

You will get a chance to see the baroque façade up close, not just from across a square. And because the tour includes photo pauses, you can line up your own viewpoints and compare them to what the guide shows you on the iPad.

If you are sensitive to crowds, this part of the walk can feel busy depending on the time of day. The good news is that your guide will usually lead you to the right viewpoints for photos, so you are not aimlessly hunting a good angle.

Carrer Ferran el Catòlic and the old Arabian bathing complex

Carrer Ferran el Catòlic is a fascinating pivot in the tour. You move from big set-piece links to a quieter, more layered detail: an age-old Arabian bathing complex that once formed part of a convent.

This stop is valuable because it reminds you that Girona was shaped by different cultures and eras, not just by modern film. The tour does not treat GoT as the only lens. It treats the show as a way in, then uses it to point you toward Girona itself.

If you enjoy walking history, this is the kind of moment where you stop and look twice. Even without a scene playing in your head, you can appreciate the way older structures changed hands and purposes over time. The guide helps you frame what you are seeing, so it feels meaningful instead of just architectural trivia.

Plaça dels Jurats and the cloisters of Sant Pere de Galligants

One of the most rewarding stops is the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. You visit around the small plaza of Plaça dels Jurats and admire this Romanesque Benedictine structure, known especially for its cloisters.

If your favorite part of tours is when you get a calm pocket away from streets, this is it. Cloisters are made for slow looking, and the tour gives you time to take in the Romanesque feel. You are also learning how the architecture supports filming, because monasteries and cloistered spaces create natural frames, rhythm in the arches, and quiet depth.

The monastery stop is also a good place to catch your breath. The walk overall is not long, but the city’s surfaces and turns can add up, so a moment of stillness and close-up stonework helps the tour end with a satisfying payoff.

Church of Sant Feliu finish: wrap-up and quick next steps

The tour ends at the Church of Sant Feliu. This closing stop is a good cap because it brings you back to a major city anchor, so you can easily continue exploring after your two hours are up.

One of the best parts of this format is that it helps you orient yourself. When you finish, you know how to return to the old center and which streets are worth a second pass, especially if you want to do your own GoT rewatch angle by angle.

If you are heading to lunch or a post-tour snack, plan to do it right after. Since food and drinks are not included, you will feel better if you do not leave this tour expecting a built-in stop for water or a meal. People often focus on the filming, but your body still needs fuel.

Price and value: what you pay for, and why it can be worth it

The tour costs $38.11 per person for about two hours. That sounds like a lot until you break down what you are actually buying.

You get:

• A local guide
• An iPad to compare scenes to real filming spots
• A structured walking route through major locations, including the Jewish Quarter and Sant Pere de Galligants
• Photo stops and time to make those comparisons in context

In other words, you are paying for interpretation, not just movement. The iPad comparison is the main value driver because it turns what could be a generic walk into a back-and-forth between show memory and real geography. Guides such as Dylan, Ona, Claudia, Kim, and Pau have been singled out for blending GoT references with Girona context and for pacing the tour in a way that keeps questions open.

There is also a reality check. Some visitors have wanted more visuals on the GoT side, rather than photos and explanations. If you are expecting something closer to a full cinematic display, adjust your expectations. This is still a walking tour, so the best payoff comes from being present and looking carefully.

Pace, group size, and who this tour suits best

The maximum group size is 100 travelers, and the tour runs in English. In practice, groups can feel much smaller on some departures, which makes questions easier and lets the guide slow down when needed.

This tour is a great fit if:

• You are a Game of Thrones fan who wants to connect scenes to real streets
• You like history that you can physically walk through, not only read on a screen
• You enjoy church and monastery exteriors as well as streetscape details
• You want a short activity that does not eat your whole day

It can also work well if you are traveling with someone who is not a die-hard fan. The Girona elements are substantial: Jewish Quarter lanes, the Cathedral area, Romanesque cloisters, and a strong sense of place that goes beyond the show.

My practical tips before you go

Bring the basics that make this tour easier and more enjoyable:

• Wear shoes you trust on stone and uneven pavement
• Plan for photos, but keep your device ready because the guide will use the iPad comparisons at stops
• Carry water, since food and drinks are not included
• If you have mobility limits, tell the guide at the start so they can help set a comfortable pace

If you have time later, give yourself one more walk around the center. Once you have mapped the GoT connections, you will notice details you would have missed on your own.

Should you book the Game of Thrones walking tour in Girona?

Yes, if your goal is to walk Girona with a purpose and connect what you love about the series to real, specific locations. For $38.11, the biggest value is the iPad scene comparison plus the tight route through major spots like the Jewish Quarter, the Cathedral area, and Sant Pere de Galligants.

Skip it only if you want a museum-style experience with lots of indoor artifacts, or if you strongly prefer GoT content over Girona context. This tour is always going to be a walking, stone-and-street experience. When you lean into that, it delivers.
