Best Time to Visit

Girona, located in Spain's northeastern Catalonia region, has a temperate climate throughout the year, allowing visitors to comfortably explore the wonders of the city. The very hottest months are June, July and August with temperatures reaching up to around 31°C. During this period, the city becomes a favourite haunt for tourists from the world over, rising accommodation prices up to 60%. On the contrary, the perfect period to save up money is during the month of September, when temperatures are still warm enough to delve into the city's history.

Passport/Visa

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Girona Airport

The Girona Airport is located 12 kilometres from the city. There are buses to the city centre run by Sagalés. The ride takes about 30 minutes, leaving passengers at the central station. Taxis can be found just outside the arrivals terminal for the 15-20 minutes trip to Girona. Avis, Europa, Eurocar and Hertz all rent cars at the airports, but booking in advance is recommended.
