Holidays in Gerona

An introduction to Gerona

Holidays in Gerona – the stuff love stories are made of.

A city split in two by a winding river. A medieval city perched opposite a blossoming young town. All encircled by miles of rolling countryside. Gerona maybe inland, but it's definitely one of the Costa Brava's treasures.

Some people just see Gerona's airport - more fool them! How can you pass up the chance to stroll through the flower-scented streets? To explore ancient nooks and discover tucked away tapas bars? To sit back and unwind in the Arabic baths or head off into the exotic Parc Devesa forest? Check in somewhere like Hotel Peninsular or Hotel Melia Girona, and check out what Gerona has to offer.

Gerona, Girona or the City of Four Rivers – it goes under many names, but whatever you call it, travel to Gerona and you've got a wealth of culture at your feet. A fabulous gothic cathedral. Museums of art, cinema, archaeology and Jewish history. The best preserved Jewish ghetto in Europe. And that's just scratching the surface.

But Gerona holidays aren't simple city breaks. Barcelona's just an hour away by train, but more importantly, the beaches of the Costa Brava are within easy reach. City, sun and sand – perfect.

Whether you're after souvenirs or a sumptuous dinner, Gerona is brimming with unique boutiques, pavement cafes and restaurants to rave about – no where more so than the Rambla de la Libertat. Evenings here are about romantic walks beside the river, a long, late dinner and a drink or two in a quiet bar. Mills and Boon couldn't do it better.
