Girona: Game of Thrones Walking Tour & Filming Locations

Summary

Wander Girona’s alleys where Game of Thrones came alive

You’ll trace Game of Thrones filming locations across Girona’s winding streets with a local guide who brings scenes to life using an iPad. Explore the Jewish Quarter and stand on iconic cathedral steps as you compare fantasy with real history. Expect laughter, small surprises, and moments that stick with you long after the tour ends.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the echo — footsteps on old stone in Sant Feliu Square, bouncing off walls that look like they’ve seen centuries (because they have). Our guide, Marta, flicked open her iPad right there and showed us Arya darting through these same alleys. It felt weirdly intimate, like the show had borrowed Girona’s bones and left some magic behind. The air smelled faintly damp, maybe from last night’s rain or just all those centuries pressed together. I tried to imagine knights or dragons but mostly just heard kids laughing nearby.

We wound through the narrow lanes of the Jewish Quarter — El Call — where sunlight barely makes it down to the cobbles. Marta knew every shortcut and pointed out tiny details: a chipped step here matched a chase scene; a heavy wooden door was actually “Bravoos” in season six. She let us linger at the Cathedral stairs, scrolling between show scenes and real life on her iPad. Honestly, standing there made me feel small in a good way. I tried saying “Girona” like she did (soft G) but totally messed it up; she laughed and gave me a thumbs-up anyway.

I didn’t expect to get so caught up comparing fiction and history — or to care about how quiet those back streets could be when you stopped talking for a second. There was this moment near an old Romanesque church where our group just stood around, not saying much, letting it all sink in. I still think about that view down the steps at sunset, even though we were only on this half-day Game of Thrones walking tour for a few hours. It wasn’t just about TV — it was something else too.
