Girona starts feeling like Westeros fast. This Game of Thrones walking tour turns the medieval lanes of Girona into a real-world set, with stops tied to specific scenes from the show—plus an iPad that lets you line the shots up with what’s in front of you today.

I love two things most: the iPad scene comparisons that make the fiction click, and the way the walk threads GoT moments through Girona’s standout buildings like the Cathedral of Santa Maria and the Romanesque cloisters of Sant Pere de Galligans.

One possible drawback: it’s a focused walking tour with no food or drinks included, so plan for timing and keep expectations realistic—this is about places and photos, not an indoor production-style experience.

Key Highlights I’d Not Skip

• iPad matching: see scenes on-screen next to the exact spot in Girona
• Braavos and King’s Landing locations: linked to streets and architecture you can actually stand in
• Jewish Quarter alleyways: medieval lanes that make the show’s mood feel close
• Sant Pere de Galligans cloisters: a Romanesque Benedictine stop that adds real calm
• German Headquarters battle area: a barracks-style fortification tied to filming
• Small-tour feel: max group size is capped at 100, and the pace is designed for sightseeing stops

Girona’s Game of Thrones Theme: Real Walls, Real Scenes

This tour works because it’s not just trivia. You’re walking through Girona’s older quarters while your guide anchors stories to physical details—churches, courtyards, stairs, and stone facades. The result is simple: you start seeing why the show picked this city in the first place.

The big hook is the GoT filming-location focus, especially the areas tied to season six. But what I like is that it doesn’t treat Girona as a backdrop. It frames Girona as the main character. You’ll learn how certain neighborhoods were reimagined as places like Braavos and King’s Landing, then you’ll walk the streets to test the illusion with your own eyes.

Starting at Plaça de Sant Feliu: Where the Walk Makes Sense

You meet at Plaça de Sant Feliu (17004 Girona). That matters more than it sounds. This is a central point where you can begin with orientation, and you don’t spend the first 20 minutes guessing your way through the old town.

From there, your guide sets the pace. Expect a guided walk that mixes quick context with enough time at key spots for photos and discussion. The tour lasts about two hours, so it stays tight. It’s the kind of length that fits well into a day in Girona—without swallowing your whole afternoon.

Església de Sant Martí Sacosta and the Staircase Area

One of the first stops is near Església de Sant Martí Sacosta, close to the Pujada de Sant Domenech staircase area. This is the moment where you can feel the tour’s method: your guide points out what’s in front of you, then links it to the show’s look.

The practical value here is that it helps you frame what you’re about to see. Girona’s streets can look similar until someone draws lines for you. Once you understand how the show borrowed the city’s verticality and stone character, the rest of the walk feels more logical—and more fun.

If you’re the type who likes visuals, you’ll probably enjoy this early stop most. It’s where the tour often gets your attention and keeps it.

The Jewish Quarter: Winding Lanes to Braavos-Style Streets

Next, you move into the Jewish Quarter, guided through its winding alleys. This is where Girona’s medieval layout becomes a story tool. Narrow lanes and older façades do what maps can’t: they make the city feel lived-in.

The tour also connects specific streets—like Carrer de Claveria and Sant Llorenc—to Braavos. That’s a key point for GoT fans: you’re not just hearing that Girona stood in for something. You’re being shown where the production’s look comes from in the real city.

One underrated benefit: this part of the walk is also where you can slow down and notice textures. The stonework, the scale, the little turns in the lanes—these are the details that make filming locations memorable long after the credit roll.

Cathedral of Santa Maria and the German Headquarters Battle Link

You’ll pass the Cathedral of Santa Maria and then head toward the area tied to the show’s German Headquarters—described as a barracks-style fortification where battle scenes were shot.

This section tends to be a crowd-pleaser because it shifts the tone. The tour goes from atmospheric alleys to a more fortified, harder-edged setting. That contrast helps you understand why productions like filming in places that already have built-in mood.

At the cathedral area, you’ll also get close to the baroque façade. Even if you’re primarily there for GoT, that’s worth it. It’s the kind of architectural detail that makes Girona more than a themed detour.

A practical tip: keep your camera ready here, but don’t rush. Cathedral exteriors reward patience. You’ll see more as you walk a few steps to change your angle.

Carrer Ferran el Catolic: The Arabian Bathing Complex Connection

Then the tour takes a turn from show locations toward layered local history at Carrer Ferran el Catolic. This street is tied to an Arabian bathing complex that once formed part of a convent.

This stop is important because it shows what I like about the tour’s balance. It doesn’t treat GoT references like a separate layer on top of Girona. It uses them as a bridge to understand the city’s real past.

Even if you’re not a deep-architecture person, you’ll likely enjoy the way your guide ties the building’s past to the show’s aesthetic choices. It’s not just name-dropping; it’s explaining why certain spaces translate well to the screen.

Plaça dels Jurats and Sant Pere de Galligans Cloisters

One of the best pauses on the route is the small plaza of Plaça dels Jurats, where you visit the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligans. This is a Romanesque Benedictine structure known for its cloisters.

This stop is a mental reset. After the darker, more tense show-related areas, the cloister space offers a different feeling—calmer, quieter, more architectural. You get time to look at stone forms and think about how monasteries shaped daily life for centuries.

For GoT fans, it also helps you appreciate the production’s skill. Not every filming location has to be loud. Some of the most effective sets are built from existing spaces with strong lines and old-world character.

Church of Sant Feliu: Wrapping Up with a Girona Finish

The tour ends back at the meeting point area, and you’ll include a final visit to the Church of Sant Feliu.

Ending here is smart. You come back to the center, so you’re not stuck figuring out transportation after a walk. And you’ll likely feel it as a satisfying full circle: you started at the square connected to this church, then you finish with that familiar anchor point.

How the iPad Scene Comparison Actually Helps

The included iPad (or tablet) scene comparison is the secret sauce. You’re not relying on your memory of the show. You’re matching what you see in Girona to what the production did in the scene.

The practical benefits are real:

• It turns vague location talk into something concrete.
• It helps you understand camera angles and how streets get framed.
• It makes the walk rewarding even if you’re only a medium fan of GoT.

Several guides are known for doing this particularly well in English—names that come up include Dylan, Ona, Claudia, Anna, Mike, Kim, and Pau. Regardless of which guide you get, the format stays consistent: show the scene, then stand where it happened.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Want Another Option)

This is a strong fit if you:

• Love Game of Thrones and want filming locations tied to actual Girona spots
• Want a walking tour that combines city history with pop-culture references
• Like picture-based learning, not just listening

It can be less ideal if you:

• Want a long, museum-style visit or lots of indoor time (this is still a walking route)
• Expect food included or a full-day plan (it’s about the walk and the sights)
• Are sensitive to heat or long outdoor pauses—come prepared

Because it covers multiple neighborhoods and includes several landmark stops, it’s also good for people who want one “anchor” activity in Girona. Do this, then build your own food and wandering around the edges afterward.

Price and Value: Is $38.11 Worth It?

At $38.11 per person for about two hours, the value comes down to one thing: you’re paying for a guide plus a structured set of filming-location stops, with the included iPad scene matching.

That’s different from a generic city walk. Generic walks show you what’s there. This one helps you see why the show used it, using the comparison tool at each stop. If you’re a GoT fan, that extra layer is usually what justifies the price.

Also, the tour is capped at 100 travelers, and that matters. Even with a larger cap, your experience should still feel organized because the route is built around short photo and discussion stops.

Booking it about 22 days in advance on average is a good sign. If you have fixed plans, grab a slot sooner rather than later—Girona can be busy, and GoT-themed tours attract attention.

A Few Practical Notes Before You Go

• Expect a walking route through central Girona streets and landmark areas, so wear shoes that handle cobbles and uneven stone.
• This is an English tour with a mobile ticket.
• Food and drinks are not included, so bring water or plan a drink stop on your own before or after.
• The tour has no hotel pickup, and it’s listed as near public transportation, so you’ll likely arrive on foot or by local transit.

Should You Book This Game of Thrones Walking Tour in Girona?

If you’re a real GoT fan, I think you should. The reason is simple: the tour doesn’t just say where things were filmed. It helps you recognize the connection with on-the-spot scene matching.

If you’re curious about Girona beyond the show, it’s still a solid pick because you hit major sights like the Cathedral of Santa Maria and the cloistered Sant Pere de Galligans. That’s a good mix of atmosphere and architecture.

Only skip it if you strongly prefer indoor attractions, you need refreshments included, or you don’t care about filming-location storytelling at all. For everyone else, it’s a fun, focused way to see Girona with your eyes turned slightly toward the screen.
