Your Experience

From Barcelona, you will board a comfortable coach to the beautiful city of Girona. For a good hour and a half, you will discover the city’s legacy and learn about the several civilisations that left their mark; the Romans, Carolingians, Christians and Jews. Your walking tour include sights such as the banks of the Oñar River, which runs through the city, where the hanging houses are located. The famous view of the houses painted in vibrant colours on both sides of the river calls for the perfect photo op. You will then continue to the city center and breathe in the magnificence of the city’s medieval streets. You will get to visit the incredible Cathedral of Girona that is known for its enigmatic architectural fame as well as the widest gothic nave in the world. You will also explore the labyrinth of narrow streets and the porticoed squares of the famous El Call or Jewish Quarters, the best preserved in Europe. After your guided tour, you will be given some free time in Girona to enjoy the city by yourself. The first half of the tour ends at the local tour operator’s office, where the second half to Montserrat shall commence.

You will then leave Barcelona to the mountain of Montserrat that sits majestically at 4000 ft above sea level.
