]]> As impressive as Barcelona, Spain, is, you probably would like to add some variety to your visit to this charming city. One of the best ways to do so is by taking a day trip to some of the nearby destinations and tourist attractions. Check out our recommendations below. 

Girona

Girona is a Catalan city renowned for its architecture from the medieval period, as well as Força Vella fortress, which was built by Romans in the 1st century BC. You can also enjoy all sorts of other activities here, including paying a visit to Cinema Museum Girona, exploring some of its beautiful parks, or simply enjoying one of the comforting Catalan dishes like Escalivada.

Montserrat

It takes less than an hour to reach Montserrat from Barcelona, so you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity. This mountain range is most famous for Santa María de Montserrat, a Benedictine monastery that houses the Virgin and Child wooden statue, which was supposedly carved by St. Luke.

Cadaqués

If you want to enjoy beautiful beaches and stunning nature, then head to Cadaqués. Due to its quiet nature, this small town was popular among various Spanish artists, including Salvador Dali, who lived and worked there from 1930 to 1982. His house was turned into a museum and is open to visitors.

]]> Catalonia, a unique region located in the northeast corner of the country of Spain, is most widely known for the stunning capital city of the region, Barcelona. However, Catalonia is full of smaller towns and cities where you’ll be able to experience the authentic charm of this unforgettable region. Here are four Catalonian towns that you must visit.

Girona

This gorgeous small city, located on the banks of the Onyar River, has one of Catalonia’s best-kept old towns which includes Roman ruins as well as parts of the former Jewish Quarter of the city.

Stiges

Located just 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona, this beach town hosts a world-famous film festival and is known as an ideal place to spend holidays for people throughout Europe.

Vielha

The capital of the Aran Valley in the far northwest of Catalonia looks more like Switzerland than anything you’d expect to see in Spain. The backdrop of the Pyrenees mountains and the charming ambiance of Vielha makes it absolutely idyllic.

Lleida

Love cathedrals? Lleida, in addition to its pedestrianized shopping streets and 12th-century Castle of Gardeny, features La Seu Vella, an 18th-century cathedral than is located on top of a hill and is considered to be one of the country’s most impressive churches.

]]> Game of Thrones was arguably the 2010s most popular television series, as the small screen adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s book series transported viewers to mystical lands full of kings, knights, dragons, and ghosts.

While the series takes place in a fictional world, it was shot here on planet Earth with cities around the globe serving as the backdrop for the series creators’ interpretation of Westeros. Fans of the series should add these three cities to their must-visit list due to their role in GOT.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

The fictional city of King’s Landing was brought to life in the series in the coastal Croatian city of Dubrovnik. The city’s walled and fortified old town was used by the series’ creators to represent a seaside city that served as the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

Essaouira, Morocco

An easy day trip away from Marrakech on Morocco’s Atlantic coast is the city of Essaouira, which served as the filming location in Game of Thrones’ Season 3, Episode 4 visit to Astapor in which Daenerys Targaryen liberates the city.

Girona, Spain

Another short day trip away from the more popular city of Barcelona is Girona, which was a big player in Season 6 of the series. Here, the city was transformed into the wealthy city of Braavos in a number of scenes that will instantly be recognizable to fans of the series.

]]> Located to the north of Barcelona, one of the most-visited destinations in the world lies a small city of just over 100,000 people which is criminally underrated—Girona.

This provincial capital is just 40 minutes from Barcelona by train, 1 hour and 15 minutes by car, and it also has its own airport if you’re looking to plan a trip solely to the city.

Girona is a traditional Catalan city which combines a fantastic old town with modern attractions and a beautiful setting along the River Onyar.

The buildings and houses which line the Onyar are one of the most characteristic sights of the city, as their multi-colored facades make a beautiful patchwork of colors along the river.

Another big attraction in Girona is its Old Town. Here, you’ll find the Girona Cathedral, which was constructed in the 11th century and still stands to this day. It has the widest Gothic nave of any church on Earth!

The Girona City Walls are another interesting attraction, as they are a rebuilt version of the Carlist-era walls which once protected the city from external threats. They can be walked upon to get a great vantage point of the city.

Finally, be sure to check out the city’s ancient Jewish Quarter, which features a museum about the history of Jews in the city. Called “El Cal” in the local Catalan language, this was the second-largest Jewish neighborhood in the region until the end of the 15th century and is considered to be one of the best-preserved in all of Europe.

What are you waiting for? Check out Girona as soon as possible!
