Gironès
Girona, the old town and the roads in
Four rivers meet at Girona: the Ter, the Onyar, the Galligants and the Güell. The city is the capital of the province of the same name and of the Gironès county, and Idescat counts 108,352 residents in 2025 on 39.12 km². The old town, the Barri Vell, holds the Força Vella, the fortress the Romans raised in the first century BC. The cathedral and the Call, the Jewish quarter of narrow lanes and patios, stand within it, and a walkway runs along sections of the Carolingian walls. The painted houses above the Onyar are the picture the city's tourist office calls its most emblematic.
Visitors come for the old town, students and staff for the University of Girona, and others pass through on the way to the Costa Brava. The city has its own airport, Girona-Costa Brava, in Vilobí d'Onyar, and its station is a stop on the high-speed trains between Barcelona and France. From Plaça de Catalunya in Barcelona, OpenStreetMap road routing estimates 101 km, about 1 h 15 min by road without traffic, on the C-31, C-33 and AP-7.

Questions about a chauffeur in Girona
Which airport is better for Girona, Barcelona or Girona-Costa Brava?
It depends on where your flight lands. OpenStreetMap routing estimates about 13 km and about 20 minutes without traffic from Girona-Costa Brava Airport to the city, and about 117 km and about 1 h 30 min from Barcelona Airport Terminal 1. Both journeys can be quoted; see Girona Airport to Girona and Barcelona Airport to Girona.
Can a driver drop me close to the cathedral or the Call?
Give the exact address or the name of your hotel in the request. The Call is a maze of narrow streets and patios inside the old fortress, so say where you want to be set down and ask which point is nearest when you request the quote.
Can I go from Girona to the Costa Brava with the same booking?
Yes, list each stop and time in one request, for example Girona in the morning and Palamós or Platja d'Aro in the afternoon. The coastal towns are grouped on the Costa Brava hub.
Is there a private tour from Barcelona that includes Girona?
Yes. The private tours include Medieval Girona and Costa Brava and Medieval Girona and Dali Museum in Figueres, both starting from a Barcelona hotel. If you are staying in Girona, a chauffeur day trip or a quoted journey may fit better.
Can I book a driver for meetings in Girona and return to Barcelona the same day?
Yes, as business travel or a chauffeur by the hour. Send the pickup address in Barcelona, each address in Girona with its time and when you need to be back.
