Serviced Apartments in Girona

For many people outside of Spain, the only thing they know about Girona is that it has an airport a certain budget airline uses for flights to Barcelona. However, this city of 100,000 people in the north east of Spain should be considered a fantastic tourist destination in its own right. The city has a beautiful combination of modern and colourful buildings, together with historical architecture dating back to Roman times. Holiday apartments in Girona are an excellent choice for exploring the city, and taking day trips to the surrounding area.

Generally speaking, the old part of town stands on a hill to the west of the Onyar River, while the more modern areas are built on the flatter eastern side. The first of many wonderful sights in the old city is the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Girona, originally dating back to the 11th century; it was only completed in the 18th century and therefore has a mixture of Gothic and Romanesque styles. The cathedral is found quite centrally, and is easily reached from city centre (center) apartments in Girona.

Along with the cathedral are a number of sights dating back over 2000 years to the time of the Roman Empire. There are still remnants of the old city fortifications to visit, built to protect the city from invaders over the centuries. Although most serviced apartments in Girona are found in the modern part of the city, most of the old sights are easily reached on foot. The Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu is another wonderful example of Gothic architecture, this time dating to the 14th century.

Girona also benefits from excellent sightseeing weather, with average daily temperatures between May and October being between 15 and 29°C. There are only a handful of rainy days in any given month, and although December and January can be more on the chilly side, Girona is still a year-round holiday destination. Because of this pleasant weather, serviced accommodation and self-catered apartments in Girona are available all year round, and are generally of a very high standard with much of it being newly developed.

Another reason to book a serviced residence in Girona is for its potential as a leaping off point for day trips to the area as a whole. Barcelona is around a 75 minute drive away by car, or two hours by train. The train journey also gives you the opportunity to pass through interesting towns such as Sils and Sant Celoni on the way.
