Tarragona, Girona and Besalú.
Full day from Barcelona
Return travel included
Three destinations, three periods
History and medieval towns
Roman Tarragona, medieval Girona and the bridge at Besalú, in a single trip out of Barcelona.
Three places. Three periods. One trip across Catalonia.
This excursion from Barcelona takes in some of the most interesting corners of Catalonia, putting Roman history, medieval architecture, culture and landscape into a single day.
The first stop is Tarragona, a city marked by its Roman past. We walk the old town and pick up the traces of ancient Tarraco, one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire on the Iberian peninsula.
Then on to Girona, a city with a lot of history and a lot of personality. Its cobbled streets, coloured houses, old quarters and medieval corners make up one of the most distinctive historic centres in Catalonia.
The last stop is Besalú, a small medieval town known for its remarkable bridge and for the charm of its streets and historic buildings.

Tarragona, Girona and Besalú — but the order can change depending on how the day is running.
Enough to want comfortable shoes: part of the day is on foot, through historic and cobbled streets.
Yes. Traffic, events, road closures or other circumstances can change it.
A day out of Barcelona: the monastery, the mountain and the views. Bus there and back.
One day, two countries: the French Mediterranean town that gave Matisse and Derain their colours.
We board Las Golondrinas, the traditional boats that have been sailing out of this port since 1888, and take the harbour from an angle you cannot get on foot: Port Vell and its working docks, the coastline and the skyline from the sea, Maremagnum, the Porta d’Europa bridge. Then into L’Aquàrium, where the Oceanari puts […]
