Girona is a city with lots of secrets to be discovered, which is well communicated and which offers the best services for hosting all kinds of events.
It is very easy to get there, thanks to its ideal location, just 37 minutes from Barcelona, 60 km from the French border and with excellent connections by high-speed train, air and road.
On combinar feina i oci és different: gastronomia i activitats a Girona
Girona is an incentive in itself. Enjoy its personality by strolling through the streets, discovering charming areas, a gastronomy that combines avant-gardism and tradition and the beat of a city that lives for the present. It is no coincidence that more and more event agencies and corporate organisers are choosing the city for their projects and coming back to it!
Among the members of the CBGCB, you will find exciting proposals for visiting Girona from different perspectives, adapted to the size and interests of each group.
You can get to know the old centre of Girona, following the places in which Game of Thrones was filmed. The GIGS guides have all the keys of the city’s past and present, as well as the secrets of the filming of the series in parts of Girona.
“Girona is a filmlike city, a city that takes you back to remote times and where your imagination can run wild in the Middle Ages. Actors, directors, stylists and so on: the more than 300 people on the staff of Game of Thrones have recommended Girona to friends and in the social networks. We do too! Just come and enjoy the experience!”
Rosa Duran, president of GIGS Girona
You can also choose a different, extremely convenient way of enjoying the city with tours on Ninebot (by Segway) from Gironaway: by taking an evening trip to make you feel hungry for supper, by visiting the old centre at midday and finishing up with a nice drink, or by organising a team-building activity.
“With us, you can take a route of several kilometres through the old centre of Girona and the surrounding area without getting tired. The reviews of our clients are highly positive, they recommend us and they come back!”
Ivan Sancho, coordinator of Gironaway
Girona Food Tours proposes seeing the city through its gastronomy: an experiential trip through the culinary tradition and history will help you enjoy the typical products and the charms of the city.
“We tell you about our gastronomy, our people and their stories. A genuine way of enjoying this marvellous city intensely.”
Marc Gonkel, director of Girona Food Tours
Girona has two large structures that complement each other for hosting large-scale events: The Girona Trade Fair Centre and the Girona Conference Centre.
Their location near the city’s historic centre and 10 minutes from the train station, with high-speed train connections to Barcelona, Madrid and France, will help you optimise the travel time during the days your conference lasts.
Nothing can go wrong: the modern facilities include an auditorium for 1,200 people, satellite meeting rooms and clear spaces for organising commercial trade fairs and events. You will be in good company, with all the technical and professional services you need so that everything is perfect.
You will also be able to give a special touch to receptions, evening meals, presentations, conferences or small and medium-format meetings in the unique spaces linked to the history of the city. A mediaeval castle, Romanesque and Gothic cloisters, monasteries and stately homes converted into museums are just some of the examples of the adapted spaces with everything required for holding events.
Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya- Girona
The Catalonia-Girona Archaeology Museum is located in the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, a Catalan Romanesque jewel located in the city’s old quarter. The majestic 12th century church and cloisters are complemented by a rich archaeological background that explains man’s most ancient history in the regions of Girona. An emblematic framework for different acts and events. Share  Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Print Email
Saló de Descans del Teatre Municipal
The Saló de Descans is on the ground floor of the Municipal Theatre. The theatre can be accessed from the main entrance of the City Council building, located in the heart of the city. Given its location inside the theatre, the hall boasts a PA system and a range of additional equipment (platform, speakers’ table, chairs, etc.). This is an ideal venue for presentations, conferences and cocktails. Share  Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Print Email
Centre Cultural la Mercè
Built in the fourteenth century, this former convent was used as a military hospital in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It has housed a multidisciplinary cultural centre for performing arts, arts and humanities since 1984. It is also used as a unique venue for welcome cocktails, receptions, etc. The auditorium is located in the convent’s former church and features a Gothic-style layout and polychrome wooden ceiling. The space is equipped with a 70 m2 stage (10 m wide and 7 m deep) with lighting and sound equipment. The room provides excellent acoustics with theatre seating in the stalls and pit. The cloister forms the building’s main axis. The central area of the cloister is landscaped and the side areas are ideal for using for catering or as an exhibition space. The multipurpose room can be adapted to different uses and features a PA system, projection screen, platform and speakers’ table. A large Gothic arch dominates the room, which can be entered from the cloister. Share  Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Print Email
The Bonastruc ça Porta Centre is home to the Museum of Jewish Girona and its courtyard, with its Star of David embedded into the stone floor, is one of the most emblematic spots in the city. A place packed with history and symbolism that evokes the past and invites a sense of reflection and calm. Girona’s Jewish quarter, the Call, is one of the best preserved in Europe and is located just steps from the Girona Cathedral. The 300 m2 open-air courtyard has a trapezoid shape and features an adjacent 105 m2 hall which is also part of the museum. Both areas can be used for receptions and cocktails outside the museum’s opening hours. Share  Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Print Email
Sala de Graus de Sant Domènec – Universitat de Girona
