6 Best Day Trips from Barcelona, and the Itinerary to Know for Each | Condé Nast Traveler

"Girona Cathedral is so colossal that if you look up from the bottom of the stairs, people outside the entrance appear ant-like. To talk stats, the central part of the structure is actually the widest Gothic nave in the world. Though, these days, it’s not so much nave-league-tables that make the cathedral famous as its starring role in 'Game of Thrones.' (Yeah, that tiny show.) Fans will spot it as the Great Sept of Baelor in King’s Landing. And that huge stone staircase up? A frequent sight in season six, as are many streets and squares in Girona—or, rather, Braavos. Built between the 11th and 18th centuries, its walls and spaces are a real patchwork of styles: there’s our record-breaking Gothic nave, a Romanesque cloister and tower, while the steps and the façade are certainly Baroque. It’s pretty staggering to behold." - Gemma Askham,Jessica Benavides Canepa

"Take in centuries of architecture at Girona's Cathedral Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque elements mix in this beautiful, if architecturally confused cathedral constructed between the 11th and 18th centuries. After climbing a fair number of stairs to even get in the door, don't miss the cathedral's claim to fame, a 23-meter wide Gothic nave (the widest in the world). April to October, the church is open from 10am to 7:30pm, and November to Marc from 10am to 6:30pm. Entry is free on Sundays, but the church has a quieter crowd-free charm on weekdays."

Catedral de Santa Maria (also known as the Girona Cathedral) is located in the historic center of Girona. This cathedral dates back to the 11th century when its construction began in Romanesque style. As construction continued, it transitioned to Gothic and is now recognized for its Gothic nave. Visits to the cathedral cost €7.50 (adults) as of April 2025. What’s more, Game of Thrones fans will recognize the impressive stairs leading up to the cathedral. Definitely worth a visit.

This was a truly moving experience. From the moment you stand at the bottom of the steps and look up it's magnificent. €7.50 entry for an adult and it include the basilica across the road which is amazing value for money. Only downside was they didn't give us the audio guide that supposedly comes with entry fee. This didn't detract but would have been nice. When you step inside and look up you can't help but be awed by the view. There are so many chapels inside and they truly need to be seen to be fully appreciated. I can't think of why you'd visit Girona and *not* come here. Game of Thrones fans may also recognise this cathedral and it's step as the "shame" scene in series 6.

Beautiful old cathedral. Yes you have to pay entrance fee, but pay the 12,50 and get access to the other church as well as well as the Art museum. I mean, someone needs to pay for the maintenance, no? But the church itself is truly beautiful!

Could a single staircase steal your breath more than a mountain climb? The 91 steps to Girona Cathedral feel like a journey through time, each one whispering stories of centuries past. The moment you step inside, the vast nave wider than any other Gothic cathedral in the world hits you with awe. Don’t miss the 14th-century silver altarpiece; it’s a masterpiece that glows like it’s guarding secrets. Visit at dusk for the best light through the stained glass.

Cobbled stone streets led to this beautiful piece from medieval era. Just like you are walking through a movie set or actually time traveled. Inside the Cathedral there is peaceful and calm. Must carry a hand fan if visiting in summer. Must go!

I was able to attend a concert here and see the interesting space. Most important for my experience was the acoustics for the a cappella sound.

Beautiful less than an hour train ride from Barcelona and it’s so pretty! We went on the Saturday of Easter weekend and it wasn’t that busy and many shops were still open. Weather was perfect and the sky was blue. Shops are cheaper than Barcelona even though it’s tourist shop like. From a fairytale.

Huge, beautiful! Great audio tour, it's included in the ticket price, don't pass it up. Lots of history, very ornate! I arrived early, no line. By the time I left there was a line.

Outstanding cathedral, it has the second largest nave in the world! Amazing stain glass windows. Must visit when in Girona. Make sure to get an audio guide, it's free with the ticket.

Did a road trip on Easter and the first stop was Girona. The town is really charming and its historic center is almost like a maze with never ending surprises. Definitely looking forward to visiting again with more time to enjoy (;
