Even the most urban corners of Girona hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Colorful houses on the Onyar River and City Walls walk offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Sant Daniel Valley for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Girona is a walled Catalan city of pastel-colored houses lining the Onyar River, a remarkably well-preserved Jewish quarter, and a food scene anchored by El Celler de Can Roca, one of the world's best restaurants.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Girona. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Colorful houses on the Onyar River — a postcard-perfect row of painted houses lining both banks of the Onyar River, reflected in the water and connected by red iron bridges, City Walls walk — a walkway along restored 9th-century Carolingian walls offering views over the cathedral, medieval rooftops, and the Pyrenean foothills beyond, plus hidden gems like Sant Daniel Valley — a green valley with a Romanesque monastery just minutes from the old town, perfect for a short walking escape and Devesa Park — a vast urban park with towering plane trees forming a cathedral-like canopy, hosting a popular Tuesday and Saturday market.
Use this page as a starting point for a Girona walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Girona. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Girona is known for history and food, but between the busy streets, spaces like Colorful houses on the Onyar River and City Walls walk provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Sant Daniel Valley provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Walk the city walls for the best overview — the Passeig de la Muralla connects viewpoints over the old town, cathedral, and surrounding hills.
April through June and September through October offer warm Catalan weather ideal for walking, with the Temps de Flors flower festival in May transforming courtyards into gardens.
