passeig de la muralla

definitely the best place to get views of the city and its surroundings.You can walk quite a long way round the wall, so it gives you a very good idea of the layout of the place. Best of all, it's free!

If you are in Girona you must go to this spot. It's free and has the best view of the entire city and the mountains in the distance.

The old walls and gardens all interconnect to form a network of pathways over and on the walls for a great view of the area.It is possible to go at your own pace and cover only the areas that strike your fancy, or stamina range, which makes it an unusually adaptable walk. The area does feel more like a random walk, though, as there is little information available on site about the things you see and walk on/around.Nonetheless, as a person who likes narrow doorways and greenery and varying elevations, this was a great place to spend my time. It is not a one-stop, awe-inspiring location, but the fun is in the aimless wandering and the inevitable question "what's over there?". Naturally, it is best if you have ample time such that you need not think about it at all.There is no distinct point of entry, because it really is an open area. I went in through the University of Girona's campus and came out behind the Cathedral.

It's a bit of a walk up with stairs, but the views are lovely. Its a great defence strategy that seems to attract lots of tourists. The history behind it is very interesting. Leads nicely towards the cathedral.

A lovely walk above the city. The best place to start would be behind the cathedral as you will have done most of the climb. The views are amazing, and I imagine that on a clear day you would be able to see for miles. This would not be suitable for people with mobility issues, in wheelchairs or with a fear of heights.

We thought the old walls were about average. Not much of a view from the section behind the Cathedral. The ruined gate? complex really needs some signage and explanations. Girona really dropped the ball on that one.

Great views. Prepare for a challenging ascent and descent, but otherwise an easy walk. Good photo ops too.

We were lucking staying at the same level as the cathedral meant we did not have to climb very far to start the walk. I believe a lot of effort has been made to make this walk safe and enjoyable, although the surface is coble stone in places, the walkways are very good. The view are brilliant and you can see for miles, and as a previous poster has said its a good preamble to lunch.

Great way to see the city and surrounding area, well worth the effort. Good exercise and free too! Perfect pre lunch then to a restaurant in the Jewish quarter

The walk on the old defensice walls provides an excellent view of the surrounding areas. There's quite a bit of up and down so not one for couch potatos. Disappointing: It's obvious that homeless people live in one of the towers. I guess they have to live somewhere but not what you want to, umm, smell as a tourist.

Lovely views of Girona and the surrounding area, spoilt by almost treading in dog dirt which was right in the centre of the path

We went from right to left, as it were, mainly uphill therefore. Great to see the whole city and a perspective you just don't get at ground level. Maybe worth doing both ways, as views quite different. There's also a really good walk outside the walls. On the dislike side, the towers along the way are obviously used by rough sleepers who are also rough toileters! Very unpleasant.

Stunning views of Girona from the top. Surprisingly access is open to all, free of charge. Very good way to kick start visit of Girona. Good pair of shoes required.

You can't miss this and if you do, you'll have missed what makes Girona so memorable. The views and the feeling of history under your feet is remarkable and I highly suggest starting from the gardens and going to the river where at the bottom of the steps you'll find a little kids park. Just as you are entering the park, on your right hand side you will see what looks like a cement structure with a metal door with a staircase leading down. there is a sign posted noting it was once of the many bomb shelters built during the beginning of the Spanish revolution when the rebels were bombing Girona. Most people will miss this but any of you WWII buffs will appreciate it.

I never have seen a so wonderful city point of view on 360° ! Very nice to walk away battlements for at least 30 minutes that will drive you to the historical streets.
