The real Girona lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Sant Daniel Valley that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like Jewish Quarter (El Call), one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
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 off-the-beaten-path walking tour route in Girona. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Jewish Quarter (El Call) — one of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in Europe, with narrow stone alleys, the Centre Bonastruc ça Porta, and a mikveh bath, 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.
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.
Most visitors come to Girona for the well-known history and food attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Jewish Quarter (El Call), residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Girona that feel genuine. Places like Sant Daniel Valley are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
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.
