By crossing the city bridges over the Onyar River, you can see the pastel-coloured houses that line the bank on the site of the old city walls. Pont de Ferro, an iron bridge built by Gustave Eiffel, offers beautiful views of the city's trademark facade, the quintessential Girona experience.

The Pier Head is a group of buildings on the banks of the River Mersey. Here you will find many different landmarks, and a perfect place to start a stroll and get to know the city.

Tucked away in the heart of the Barri Vell, the Escales de Sant Martí (St. Martin’s Steps) form one of Girona’s most iconic and photographed scenes, also featured on Game of Thrones. This timeless corner blends medieval romance with Baroque grandeur, framed by the 17th-century façade of the former Convent of Sant Martí and the striking Casa-Palau Agullana. The palace’s skewed arch stretches over the steps, creating a covered passage that feels both intimate and theatrical — a favourite backdrop for artists and Instagrammers. Even though often busy with visitors, the spot retains a quiet magic, especially early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Sit on the steps with a coffee, and watch as the city’s history unfolds in every shadow and angle.

Explore more than 700 exhibits, the OMNIMAX Theater, the planetarium, special traveling exhibitions and a lot more at Saint Louis Science Center. Situated at the southeastern corner of Forest Park, the establishment is a favorite among tourists and families in particular, offering an interesting insight into natural history, paleontology and geology.
