Girona
Spain
Catalonia beyond Barcelona.
Stacked riverfront colour, a medieval old town and a quietly serious food scene.
4 days works well in Girona.
Why Wendelse likes it
Walkable & Relaxed
Most of Girona unfolds on foot, though its steps and slopes make this a more active kind of wandering than Lucca.
History
Choose Girona if you want Roman and medieval history you can explore directly through streets, walls and neighbourhoods.
Art & Architecture
Girona's cathedral, Sant Feliu and Arab Baths sit inside an old city whose stairways and streetscape are part of the architecture.
