Travel

One of the most historic sites in Spain, Girona lies in northeast Catalonia, just 99 km from Barcelona. Founded by Romans, the city later was taken over by Moors and Franks before finally falling under the rule of Barcelona. Influenced by different cultures and religions, the city beckons visitors with beautiful architecture. The Old and New Town offer many opportunities to pleasurably get lost and observe local life and culture.

  • Road - The town is on the Autopista AP-7 and N-II. The city is also the hub of the local road network with routes to the coast and inland towards the Pyrenees.
  • Buses - The city has a comprehensive urban bus service operated by TMG. There are also services to the other towns in the Girona province.
  • Rail - Girona is served at its railway station to the west of the Old Town, from Barcelona to Portbou and the French border. The journey time to Barcelona is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Airport - The town's airport, Girona-Costa Brava, is 10 kilometres south of the town centre. It has grown tremendously in recent years principally as a result of Ryanair choosing it as one of their European hubs. Girona Airport is a 15-minute bus ride from the bus terminal and train station in Girona city and an hour from Barcelona centre, 92 km to the south (the bus stops in the centre of Barcelona, at the Estació d'Autobusos Barcelona Nord, Barcelona's main bus terminal).

The URH Girona Hotel is located 10 minutes from historic downtown of Girona. For more information, please see URH Giron Hotel Location and/or contact the hotel reception at +34 972414600.
