The Short Answer
Girona's medieval old town stood in for King's Landing, Braavos and Oldtown in Game of Thrones Season 6, filmed in September 2015. Guided walking tours run about 2 hours from around 28 EUR, visiting the cathedral steps, Jewish Quarter and Arab Baths. Book online in advance; some tours depart from Barcelona by coach or private car.
When Game of Thrones arrived in Girona in September 2015, the production transformed the city's medieval core into three of Westeros's most recognizable places. The cathedral steps became the Great Sept of Baelor, the narrow alleys of the Jewish Quarter turned into the streets of Braavos, and Sant Pere de Galligants Monastery served as the Citadel library in Oldtown.
The appeal for visitors is simple: these are real, walkable locations packed into a compact old town. A guided tour covers the main sites in roughly two hours, and several operators run small-group, private, and pay-what-you-want options. Travelers based in Barcelona can join coach or private tours that include transport.

The tours below differ mainly in format and starting point.

A self-guided audio tour suits independent visitors who prefer to explore alone.

What You Will See
Girona Cathedral
The monumental baroque staircase became the Great Sept of Baelor steps, site of Jaime Lannister's confrontation in Season 6. The exterior stairs are public and free to photograph; interior cathedral access requires a separate ticket.
Jewish Quarter (Call Jueu)
These narrow stone alleys stood in for Braavos, including the market streets where Arya Stark wanders and trains. The quarter is fully public, so visitors can also explore it self-guided at any time of day.
Sant Pere de Galligants Monastery
This Romanesque monastery doubled as the Citadel library in Oldtown, where Samwell Tarly's storyline unfolds. It sits near the Galligants river, within easy walking distance of the baths and cathedral.
Arab Baths
The baths appear among the Braavos filming locations. Their vaulted interior is one of the more atmospheric stops on the standard route and a favorite for photography.
Pujada de Sant Domènec and Sant Martí Sacosta Stairs
These landmark stairways appear in several Season 6 sequences and are among the most photographed spots on the tour route. They climb through the heart of the old town toward the cathedral.
Carrer Bisbe Josep Cartañà
This small street was used for Arya's Braavos scenes. Guides typically pause here to compare stills from the show with the alley as it appears today.
Galligants Bridge and River Views
The bridge and the riverside stretch offer views over the colored houses along the Onyar and connect the monastery stops on most routes. A good place to end a walk.
Planning Your Visit
Getting There
Girona sits about 38 to 60 minutes from Barcelona by high-speed train, with services arriving at Girona station. From there, the old town meeting points at Plaça de la Independència or Plaça Sant Feliu are a 15 to 20 minute walk. Tours departing from Barcelona remove the need to arrange the train independently, with coach and private pickup options available.

The official walking tour from local operators starts from 28 EUR as of 2026, with children under 14 free on some departures, and tours typically run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 with some Saturday slots. A typical visit lasts around 2 hours. The filming locations themselves have no timed entry: the streets and stairs are public, while the cathedral interior requires a separate ticket. Note that routes through the old town are not wheelchair accessible.
Booking Tips
- Book online in advance; groups are capped at around 10 people on some departures.
- Free or pay-what-you-want tours exist for budget travelers, running on set days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Was Game Of Thrones Filmed In Girona?
Filming for Season 6 took place in September 2015 across the old town. The cathedral steps became the Great Sept of Baelor, Jewish Quarter alleys stood in for Braavos, and Sant Pere de Galligants Monastery served as the Citadel in Oldtown. The river and Galligants Bridge also appear on screen.
How Long Does A Game Of Thrones Tour Take?
Most guided walking tours run around 2 hours, covering all the main filming locations within the compact old town. An express one-hour option visits every spot on a tighter schedule. Travelers combining the visit with a Barcelona day trip should plan for a much longer overall day.
How Much Do Tours Cost?
The official walking tour starts from 28 EUR as of 2026, with children under 14 free on some departures. Commercial group walks listed here cost roughly 35.47 USD and 31.53 USD, while private tours and Barcelona day trips cost considerably more, with one private option at 292.76 USD.
Can You Visit The Locations Without A Tour?
Yes. The streets, stairs and squares used in filming are public spaces, and the Jewish Quarter in particular is easy to explore alone. A self-guided audio tour is also available. A guided tour mainly adds scene-by-scene commentary and stills comparing the show with today's city.
How Do You Get To Girona From Barcelona?
High-speed trains connect Barcelona with Girona in roughly 38 to 60 minutes. From Girona station, the old town meeting points at Plaça de la Independència or Plaça Sant Feliu are a 15 to 20 minute walk. Alternatively, coach and private tours depart directly from Barcelona.
When Do Tours Run?
Tours typically depart on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30, with some Saturday slots. Schedules can change, so travelers should confirm 2026 times with the operator before booking. Tours are not wheelchair accessible due to stairs and narrow medieval alleys along the route.
Girona offers one of the most concentrated Game of Thrones filming experiences anywhere, with a dozen recognisable locations inside a walkable old town. Casual viewers can manage a self-guided wander in an afternoon, but a guided walk brings the scenes to life with side-by-side comparisons most visitors would never find alone. Barcelona-based travelers get the simplest deal: a coach or private tour handles transport and commentary in one booking. Whichever route fits, book ahead, since small groups and limited departure days fill quickly in high season.
