The Experience

The Cathedral is the first stop, and it's where the show filmed the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing. Your guide walks you through the square and points out where Jaime Lannister and the Tyrells stood, where Queen Margaery began the Walk of Shame. The scale of the building and the layout of the plaza make the connection immediate—you're standing in the actual frame.

From there the tour moves to the Arab Baths, which became Braavos in the series. This is where Arya trained to become a faceless woman and where she fled from the Waif. The narrow passages and stone arches of the baths carry the same atmosphere the show used. The tour also takes in the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, where Samwell Tarly's scenes in the Citadel Grand Library were shot, and climbs the Old Town stairs—the ones Arya fell down in Braavos. A garden high in the Old Town and views of the Basílica round out the route.

The guide speaks English and keeps groups small, so the pace stays manageable and you're not crammed in with dozens of other tourists. The whole walk takes 90 minutes, which is long enough to hit the major locations without burning out on steep medieval streets.

Top questions

What Game of Thrones scenes were actually filmed in Girona?

The Cathedral doubled as the Great Sept of Baelor, where scenes with Jaime Lannister, the Tyrells, and Queen Margaery's Walk of Shame took place. The Arab Baths became Braavos, where Arya trained as a faceless woman and fled from the Waif. The Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants was used for Samwell Tarly's scenes in the Citadel Grand Library, and the Old Town stairs are where Arya fell in Braavos.

How long is the walking tour and what's the pace like?

The tour runs 90 minutes and covers the Old Town on foot, moving between filming locations at a steady pace. It's suitable for all fitness levels, though the medieval streets include stairs and uneven ground.

Will the guide point out specific scenes and explain what was filmed where?

Yes. Your English-speaking guide takes you to each location and describes which scenes were shot there, so you can picture the show's moments in the actual settings.

Are children allowed on this tour?

Children are welcome from age 1, so families can join. The tour is small-group only, which keeps it manageable for younger travelers.

What makes Girona's Old Town worth visiting beyond the Game of Thrones filming locations?

Girona's Cathedral, Arab Baths, and medieval streets are historic sites in their own right—the Cathedral dates back centuries, and the Arab Baths are a rare example of 12th-century Moorish architecture. The tour weaves the show's story through the city's actual history, so you're learning about both.
