The Best Selfie, on the Pont de les Peixateries Velles
Starting a tour of Girona at the Pont de les Peixateries Velles is to delve straight into one of the city’s most recognisable icons. Designed by Gustave Eiffel‘s firm in 1877, this red-painted metal bridge connects the two banks of the River Onyar and offers one of the most photogenic views: the colourful façades reflected in the water.
Crossing it with friends not only offers the opportunity to capture one of Girona’s most emblematic images, but also to begin the journey with a panoramic view that encapsulates the vibrant essence of the city.
The bridge’s location makes it a perfect place to start your group visit, as it provides easy access to the streets of the old town and some of the most unique spaces.
Casa Masó
A few metres from the bridge is Casa Masó, the birthplace of architect Rafael Masó, one of the most prominent figures of Catalan Modernism. Visiting this house is like stepping into a unique space, which preserves the original furniture, decoration and atmosphere of the early 20th century.
For friends, it is an exceptional opportunity to combine the architectural beauty with the personal history of a creator who shaped Girona’s aesthetic identity.
Game of Thrones Route through Girona
Girona became a film set thanks to its prominent role in the sixth season of the Game of Thrones series. Its medieval streets, monumental staircases and stone corners served as the backdrop to bring King’s Landing, Braavos and Oldtown to life, attracting fans from all over the world.
The tour includes iconic locations like the steps of Girona Cathedral, which became the Great Sept of Baelor. Other highlights include the Arab baths and various streets in the Call district of Girona, which were transformed into the markets of Braavos. Each stop allows visitors to see how fiction merged with reality, offering an experience that is both entertaining and cultural.

A Journey through the History of Cinema
For film lovers, another great plan to enjoy with friends in Girona is a visit to the Cinema Museum. Located in the heart of the historic centre, this museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of the seventh art, from the first magic lanterns and projection devices to the arrival of modern cinema.
An Essential Meeting Point: Plaça de la Independència
In the heart of Girona, Plaça de la Independència is one of the liveliest meeting points in the city and an ideal place to enjoy with friends. Surrounded by elegant 19th-century porticoed buildings, this square combines architectural charm with a vibrant atmosphere, always full of life and activity.
The square is home to numerous bars, terraces and restaurants that invite you to sit down and share a coffee, a tapa or a relaxed meal. Whether at midday, under the sun, or at dusk, when the lights begin to illuminate the arcades, the square transforms into a warm and lively place, ideal for long conversations among friends. The atmosphere is always lively, with locals and visitors making this one of the busiest spots in Girona.
As well as being a gastronomic highlight, Plaça de la Independència is also a setting steeped in historical symbolism, with the central monument commemorating the defenders of Girona during the Spanish War of Independence.
To Finish Your Tour: An Ice Cream at Rocambolesc
To put a sweet and innovative finishing touch to your tour of Girona, the Rocambolesc ice cream parlour is a must. Created by the Roca brothers, from the prestigious Celler de Can Roca, this establishment combines gastronomic expertise with a fresh and carefree experience.
The magic of Rocambolesc lies in its customisable offering: you can choose from a range of ice cream bases, such as vanilla, lactic, chocolate or even baked apple, and top it off with toppings made by hand in their workshop, such as dulce de leche, popping candy, chocolate sponge cake or guava jam.
Rocambolesc also offers original products such as handmade ice lollies with 3D moulds, which take on curious and delicious shapes, such as the iconic “The Lioness’ Rump” or “Golden Hand”; or the innovative panet, a brioche that is warm on the outside and cold on the inside, filled with ice cream and sealed to perfection.
