Nature & Parks
Hiking area
National Parks
Far del Cap de Creus, located in the north of Costa Brava, is an extension of the Pyrenees reaching out to the sea and marks the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. The area boasts stunning coastal landscapes with spectacular coves like Cala Culip, Cala Prona, Cala Jugadora, and Cala Cullero. Accessible by bus or hiking trails from nearby parking areas, visitors can enjoy panoramic sea views and explore various hiking routes.
Visiting this place was a dream come true. Our ride from Cadaqués to Port was filled with some crazy views of the National Park and crystal clear blue water. Enjoyed it so much!! Our heart was full. Hoping to go there once more if everything falls into place and also do those trails. The only thing we missed was spending more time there. We had the flight to Stockholm at night and the connectivity from buses to Cadaqués town wasn’t very frequent. It is a must when in Spain.

Great lighthouses and the easternmost point of Spain! 🇪🇸 we enjoyed the sunrise. Beware of the time schedule to enter with your own car. Road is a bit narrow at times but manageable.
Connection E — Google review
Beautiful view! There’s a bus that takes you all the way to the lighthouse. You can also drive up yourself if you have a reservation at the restaurant. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as the road is very narrow and buses need to pass by, leaving very little room to manoeuvre. From the top, you can also walk down the road to a small beach. The final stretch involves a bit of a climb down, so keep that in mind!
Iwan W — Google review
Nice little light house. Private cars are normally not allowed to drive there but we saw alot of cars driving to and from there. The shuttle bus goes often enough in summer. The hike there is nice and easy to follow (despite the hot weather)
N P — Google review
If you’re in Cadaqués you have to take at least half a day to go to the lighthouse by bicycle or hiking. Impressive views and beautiful flora.
Tim H — Google review
The hike here was worth it several times over. Good swimming options along the way. Earned restaurants at the lighthouse with nice staff and good libations make up for a long trek with the kids. Driving here, I would not recommend, would feel very underwhelming, and you miss the beauty of the unique stone formations of folded volcanic rock.
Malte W — Google review
Cap de Creus is stunning, you can see the surroundings in the video, restaurant service, food and welcome top notch. To sit here with the great seafood and view is highly recommended.

The place is truly beautiful, but be careful! IMPORTANT NOTICE ACCESS REGULATIONS FOR CAP DE CREUS NATURAL PARK Access is restricted for unauthorized vehicles every day from 09:30 to 21:30. Fine is €200. There are signs, but they can be easy to miss if you're not aware in advance. Make sure to check the access rules before visiting!

Salvador Dalí House Museum

Mentioned on 
52 lists 
Museum
Local history museum
The Salvador Dalí House Museum, located in Port Lligat, Catalonia, was the residence of the famous surrealist artist from 1930 to 1982. The museum offers pre-booked tours that allow visitors to explore Dalí's eccentric house and studio filled with personal artifacts and artworks. The stunning seaside complex overlooks a peaceful cove and features a mishmash of cottages, sunny terraces, and offbeat furnishings.
Cool experience! Be sure to book tickets well in advance during the tourist season (July-August) because they can be booked out a week or two. A ticket gives you a timed-entry to Dali’s beautiful, funky, artistic, and historic home and olive grove garden just outside of Cadaques, about 20-30 minutes walking from the center of town, along a beautiful route that does include a very steep hill. You’ll get a ~30 minute tour of the inside of the house, which is exactly as Dali left it (for reasons you will have to find out). Also, the pool is shaped in an interesting way… prepare to be confused, amazed, and intrigued 🙂
Sean T — Google review
Visited without booking and we could not get tickets to enter house as it was fully booked so recommend booking before going. We visited the gardens though, ticket 6 euro and well worth a visit as it has a lot of Dali's touches. Also bar and beach for a beer, coffee and stroll amongst the boats.
Al — Google review
I bought our tickets about two months in advance so we were ready. What we were not ready for was how cool the house was!! We had a friendly guide where took us through and spoke English and French to the rest. I loved that they had lockers free of charge available for larger bags. Also the Caffe by the entrance has a cute balcony on the top floor and tables outside. It was uplifting to soak up the local atmosphere.
Veronika M — Google review
100,000% worth the visit! Buy tickets in advance as tour groups are kept to 10 people at a time. Excellent museum with guides who know their material. It was a highlight experience to walk into the Secret Room where Dalí had his parties and where you can hear an echo of your voice. Loved touring the large olive orchards and seeing how Dalí lived and worked. Save time to watch the video at the top of the orchard. We stayed in Cadaques and loved our time there, if driving in give yourself plenty of time to arrive and navigate the mountain roads and take in the views. Would absolutely love to return to this wonderful place.
Versatile V — Google review
We loved our visit to the Dali house and gardens. Booking tickets in advance is recommended since groups are limited to 8 people at a time. The guides provided explanations in English, Spanish, Catalan, and French.
Dennis B — Google review
Great tour guide who speaks several languages fluently. Interesting place. Need to book tickets and time for your visit ahead of time. We booked a couple weeks in advance.
Sandra H — Google review
Ok, first I will answer to all 1⭐️: buy your tickets in advance and be on time. Museum is an old theatre restored and some corridors are just to narrow to accommodate more people. About museum: after seeing lots of museums all over the world, not even Dali fan, I have to say- you have to visit it.
Sanja P — Google review
Well, I will say that the staff here is super friendly and helpful. We had a little ticket slip-up and they really came through and helped us out. The tour guide was good too. But wow, Dali's house is the most ugly and unimpressive thing I've ever seen. His artistic nature didn't really translate into the property as much as I'd expected, and to be honest it's mostly just a lot of... trash. And bad taxidermy. The garden is nice, for the trees and plants. And the wife's dome room is interesting. So, there's that. Anyway, don't feel bad if you miss this on your trip 😅

Far de Cala Nans

Mentioned on 
25 lists 
Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Far de Cala Nans is a picturesque lighthouse perched above Cadaqués town and the Mediterranean Sea, accessible via a rocky headland trail. The easy hike from Cadaques offers breathtaking views, with small pebble beaches along the way. However, caution is advised for families with young children due to steep paths and limited shade. Despite some challenging trails, the stunning vistas make it worth the effort, especially when combined with a visit to the beautiful beach near the lighthouse.
Beautiful views of Cadaqués from the light house. The hike was not too difficult or crowded. There is an area to go down to the water as well.
Karlie G — Google review
It was a nice walk,a big surprise for us to have such experience not far from Cadaques and also viewers!!!!
Alvarez C — Google review
Easy hike from Cadaqués with amazing views. There are some small pebble beaches along they way, which are steep to get to but accessible, I would not recommend descending to the beach with small children (smaller than 5 or not aware of dangers of heights). There is almost no shade along the route but very windy.
Ricardo Q — Google review
A beautiful place with stunning views. An extra small hike to the beautiful beach that's just before the lighthouse is worth it. An easy walk from Cadaques and some parking available by the music festival building
Russ S — Google review
Really nice walk to the light house. Medium difficulty.
Cecilia K — Google review
The view is amazing but we weren’t prepared to walk through some difficult trails. It’s worth it and on the way there are some really nice calas.
Andrea G — Google review
A nice and easy trail from Cadaques takes about an hour, lovely views along the way (but not much shade, so be careful with the sun). There is a lovely beach at the end just before the lighthouse, super clean and clear water. There are 2 paths going down to the beach, the first one has an easy start but a steep ending, the second one is much harder to find on the top (kind of just shrubs) but has stairs on the second part and nice descend. If neither of them work for you, you can take the stairs below the lighthouse and you get to a little pier/mooring for small boats, where you can also get in/out of the water.
Martina B — Google review
a wonderful short hike to the lighthouse overlooking the bay and the Mediterranean Sea. It can be quiet windy.

Santa Maria de Cadaqués

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The impressive Catholic church Santa Maria de Cadaqués overlooks the old town of Cadaques. Completed in the 14th century, it was later rebuilt after a series of pirate raids in the 15th and 16th centuries. The golden Baroque altarpiece is a popular attraction inside. While some found its gaudy style too overbearing, others found it charming. The town itself is full of good tapas bars and views are beautiful from the church.
Iconic church on the top Cadaques, it has a Dali like painting inside (not sure who the artist is) the viewa are worth the uphill and the ornaments are very interesting
Daniel T — Google review
Great church with a spectacular interior that is a contrast to the fairly simple exterior. Quite a trek to get up the hill to it but the views from outside the church are a bonus.
Steven A — Google review
Visited around midday on a Tuesday in late May. Looks quite utilitarian on the outside but the inside has some lovely ornate features - without being overly showy. Cool (temperature), quiet and solemn inside. Some interesting paintings to take in. Has some nice alcoves too. Quite central and relatively easy to access. Certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in Cadaques. Highly recommended.

Restaurant
Hostal Restaurant Sa Tuna is a charming rustic-chic space with a terrace that offers stunning views of the beach. Located in the picturesque fishing village of Sa Tuna, it is surrounded by beautiful white houses along the coastline, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The area also features excellent restaurant options for lunch, making it an ideal destination for food enthusiasts. Additionally, nearby attractions such as Esclanya with its Roman remains and Sant Esteve church add to the cultural appeal of the area.
Lunch on the terrace. Gorgeous, tasty food. So many dishes that looked amazing, shame I only had room for two! The vibe was relaxed and comfy cool. Service friendly and efficient. The position, view, ambiance top! Whats not to love.
Caroline A — Google review
A gorgeous, beautifully situated restaurant in the small Cost Brava Cove of Sa Tuna. Super friendly staff, nothing too much trouble ..... my husband is vegan & although predominantly a seafood restaurant they prepared a magnificent & delicious platter of grilled vegetables with romesco sauce & carpaccio of courgette & aubergine. Their fish of the day, I chose Scorpion fish, was perfectly grilled over flame & wonderful. Afterwards, we sat on their terrace with a glass of good Rioja, overlooking the aquamarine sea & enjoyed a really lovely afternoon. Well worth a visit & highly recommend Sa Tuna at this warm but quieter time of year.

Beautiful view. Fantastic service. The food is amazing. Classics plates and plates with a new twist. The presentation of the plates is something from a James Bond film. The cocktails are sweetened by the fruit, not just syrup and liquor. I highly recommend 👌

Hostal Sa Tuna is an absolute treasure on the Costa Brava, perfectly located right on the charming Sa Tuna cove. The rooms are modern, spotless, and many offer breathtaking sea views that make waking up here unforgettable. The restaurant downstairs serves excellent Mediterranean cuisine, especially fresh seafood and rice dishes, enjoyed with the sound of the waves just a few steps away. Service is warm and attentive, creating a relaxed, family-run atmosphere that makes you feel truly welcome. With its unbeatable location, delicious food, and authentic coastal charm, Hostal Sa Tuna is the perfect spot for a memorable stay in Begur.

Hostal Sa Tuna is certainly the best restaurant in Sa Tuna and one of the best in all of Begur! We have been here countless times and always are so excited to go back. The specials are always so unique and wonderful!
Jocelyn M — Google review
Sadly had a bad experience here. The food is average and overpriced and the service was bad. Had a tuna steak which was very tough and barely edible (first time to experience this). Had it returned and received a better steak but too salty. The paella was v salty too. After we complained the response was eye rolling and “we make 200 paellas a day and no one has ever complained”. The location is great though!
Ayla P — Google review
Restaurant food was overpriced. Beautiful location and lovely presentations, but many dishes were meh. The Tuna Carpaccio was very good, beautiful presentations, but only enough to cover the four bread crackers they supplied. Ordered multiple tapas- too much dressing on the salad, and what seemed to be unique calamari with feta arrived in a small bowl and seemed like overcooked bar food. If you want scenery, this can’t be beat….they’ve got a captive audience. Was told as we entered there’d be a 35e/per person minimum, which would be minimal had some dishes been better.

Platja d'Aiguablava

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
While it's not certain, Platja d'Aiguablava in Begur is widely considered to be among the top five beaches in the area. This stunning bay offers a perfect combination of seclusion and accessibility, with excellent dining options without being overcrowded. The beach is popular but not overwhelmingly so, and boasts soft golden sand and crystal-clear blue waters.
I recently visited Platja d’Aiguablava along the Costa Brava and was amazed by its stunning beauty. The turquoise waters and the surrounding natural landscape make it one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever seen. The sandy shore is clean, and the water is incredibly clear. The water is perfect for swimming or just soaking up the sun. The beach offers a variety of cafes and restaurants, all situated in the stunning natural beauty of the steep Costa Brava hillside. If you're looking for a more tranquil experience, it might be best to visit early in the morning or during the off-season. Overall, Platja d’Aiguablava is a beautiful destination that is well worth a visit.
Chase — Google review
It is a beautiful beach. There is a chiringuito, so if you need a cold drink or eat something, you can go there during the day. Also there are toilets. It is small and it can be full easily. During the high season, especially the weekends, the parking place gets full, and people try to park on the road and walk to the beach. I personally prefer bigger, calmer and more natural places..

I recently visited Platja d’Aiguablava and was struck by its stunning beauty. The turquoise waters and the surrounding natural landscape make it one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever seen. The sandy shore is clean, and the water is incredibly clear, perfect for swimming or just soaking up the sun. However, there are a few things that might detract from the experience for some visitors. First, the beach can get quite crowded, especially with families and small children. While this is great for those traveling with kids, it may not be ideal for those seeking a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a more tranquil experience, it might be best to visit early in the morning or during the off-season. Additionally, while the beach offers a variety of cafes and restaurants, I felt there were perhaps too many for such a small space. The abundance of eateries along the shore takes away a bit from the natural charm of the beach. Fewer cafes would allow for a more peaceful, unspoiled environment where the focus could remain on the stunning natural beauty. Overall, Platja d’Aiguablava is a beautiful destination that is well worth a visit, but be prepared for crowds and a somewhat commercialized atmosphere. It’s a great spot if you enjoy a lively beach environment with plenty of dining options, but if you’re looking for something more serene, you might want to explore other nearby beaches.

Begur's Castle

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Begur's Castle, also known as Castell de Begur, is a medieval fortress built in the 11th century to protect the village from pirate attacks. Although it mostly consists of outer wall remains today, its position atop the tallest hill offers a pleasant walk and stunning panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
The castle itself is a small ruins of what’s left of the castle but it is still a cool place to visit and learn the history behind. The views of the town of Begur and the surrounding areas are beautiful. So just relax and enjoy the scenery. It is also not crowded or at least when we went it wasn’t as it was a weekday.
Mirna A — Google review
Begur’s Castle dates back to the XI century. What remains of this medieval fortress is now an excellent place to take in sweeping views of the Costa Brava and of the Mediterranean Sea. Walk through the historic old town, follow the signs up to the castle. It is manageable and well worth it. Aside from the views, there’s not much to do there. Regardless, first timers should make a point to check out the castle.
Nanita — Google review
The Castle of Begur (Castell de Begur) crowns the town from a rocky hilltop that has watched over this stretch of the Costa Brava for nearly a thousand years. Even though only a few towers and fragments of wall remain, it’s an incredibly atmospheric place where history and scenery come together perfectly. The first fortifications here were built in the 11th century, during the early medieval period, when this part of Catalonia was still on the frontier between Christian and Muslim territories. The castle originally belonged to the lords of Begur, local nobles who controlled the surrounding lands and villages. Over the following centuries, it was reinforced several times, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries, when the coast suffered repeated attacks from North African pirates. The strong position of the hill made it an ideal lookout, offering views across the Mediterranean and far inland. In begur’s golden age, between the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle served less as a noble residence and more as a defensive refuge for the townspeople during raids. However, by the late 17th century, it began to lose its strategic importance, and much of it fell into ruin. During the Napoleonic Wars (early 19th century), the remaining structures were further damaged, and stones from the castle were later reused in village houses, a common fate for medieval fortresses across Catalonia. Today, what’s left is an ruin: stone walls, sections of towers, and a circular platform where the flag of Catalonia now flies. From up here, you can see the entire Empordà region, the Medes Islands, and even Cape Creus on a clear day. Information panels tell the story of the site. Its great to visit at sunset for memorable moments. Climbing to the top only takes about fifteen minutes from the old town, and the path and stairs wind past charming whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets. At the summit it offers one of the most breathtaking views on the Costa Brava. There is small car park right by the castle, busy during Summer peak time, and its free entry to the ruins. Please be causion as its ruins and paths are uneven and slippery. Take extra causion on the egses of the walls.

This castle in Begur is worth visiting while in Begur. It is located at the mountain top from the village. It takes approximately 20 minutes from Begur town to walk up to the top of the castle. It is a very good view point of seeing Costa Brava. I would highly recommend visiting this castle when in Begur. No tickets are required.

From the top, you get breathtaking panoramic views of: • The old town of Begur • The Baix Empordà plains • The Mediterranean Sea • Coastal coves like Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, and Fornells

Highest point of the Begur city. You have a panoramic view of the city and sea. No tickets required to visit.

This is a popular viewing spot so parking gets crowded there’s only a small parking lot just below the castle. Otherwise, you should find parking along the small street before or at the Main Street which runs through the village. It began to get crowded at sunset also very windy. I think the best time is to arrive around just before golden hour .

Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Perched on a mountain top in the Serra de Verdera within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes is a remarkable medieval Romanesque complex. This historical gem has undergone significant restoration work and is considered one of Catalonia's most important monasteries. The monastery offers stunning views of the Pyrenean peaks and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Monastery truly conveys its history and helps one imagine how life must of been in the medieval ages. A few tips to know before visiting for the first time like we did. There are three parking areas as you get close to the monastery, the last one is where the road ends. There is also a castle and a church to visit while there all short hikes from the monastery. Bring a jacket as it’s cooler and windy depending on the weather. We went on a cloudy rain and it was very dramatic with the fog and clouds but also chilly. Will try again when it’s warmer. The gift shop has unique local made gifts. The restaurant cafe has incredible views of the valley below and prices are reasonable. The staff are very friendly.

Fascinating to learn about the monks and villagers who lived here long ago. The monastery has one of the most impressive Romanesque churches ever built, I can only imagine what it would be like to have a beautiful Mass there. There is an old wine cellar where the monks made wine in later centuries in order to sustain their life in the monastery.

Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes is a delight — both for the eyes and for history lovers. Perched on the Verdera mountain overlooking the Bay of Llançà and El Port de la Selva, the monastery offers sweeping Mediterranean views that are nothing short of spectacular. Overall, I’d say it’s more than worth the trip. The mix of dramatic landscapes, architectural beauty, and historic atmosphere makes Sant Pere de Rodes a highlight of Catalonia.
Jessica J — Google review
An hour’s drive from Girona reveals fantastic views, plenty of hiking trails, and a monastery. The Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery is a wonderful place.The Mediterranean landscapes visible from here are simply breathtaking. One of the most remarkable sights in Catalonia. My family 's favourite place. Definitely recommend it.
Indra K — Google review
Beautiful building that was visible from our vacation home. After seeing this monastery for a week standing across the water we decided to visit it on one of our last days. We drove up the mountain and walked from the parking area which was about a 5-10 minute walk. At the entree we paid €6 p.p. to enter the building. Once inside we walked around and made some pictures of the building and our group members. The visit was definitely worth it, as it shows quite a beautiful piece of history.

Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery is an enchanting gem that surpassed all my expectations. Its ancient Romanesque architecture and serene ambiance create a captivating atmosphere, while the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea add to its allure. Exploring its historic corridors and tranquil cloisters was an unforgettable journey through history and spirituality. Additionally, visitors will find convenient facilities including toilets and a restaurant, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience at Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery.

Nice to see the ruines and what they turned it into for visitors today. The ride to it is already a nice experience! Good audio tour. Dissapointing: the restaurant is not very convenient. They have a lunch time that is only for lunch. So if you only want a coffee or drink: not possible between 13.30 and 16.00. Poor salesmen ship, I'd say.

Fort Saint Elme

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled atop a hill overlooking the picturesque village of Collioure, Fort Saint Elme is a remarkable star-shaped fortress that dates back to 1552. Originally constructed under the reign of Charles V, this military stronghold was designed to protect against potential invaders and boasts impressive eight-meter-thick walls. Although currently closed to visitors, its commanding presence can be admired from afar as it towers over the pebbled beaches below.
Tricky ride up to the fort but once there breathtaking b Views across the bay. Entrrence to the castle was £8 per adult an well worth the visit. An excellent example of a fort built in the age of gunpowder
Anthony ( — Google review
Fort Saint Elme is currently closed (nil signage as to why at the location), however the surrounding views are beautiful and the walk is gorgeous. Recommend walking up and back if you’re in Collioure, rather than driving.
Duncan P — Google review
Really interesting visit and great value. Lots of local history. There’s a combination ticket with the local Petit Train from Collioure which gives a local guided tour. Follow the visit with a hike back into town through vineyards with spectacular views.
Chris B — Google review
it is advisable to either take the petite train to the top of the fort, it's a spectacular view around the coast, and the winding roads snaking up to the mountain a wonder. I would then advise to take time to walk around the fort as the train only stops for a few minutes before returning. you can then walk down if it's not too hot to enjoy the smell and scenery of the vineyards. It is about an hour back down towards Coullier, otherwise wait for the next train which will be about the same time.

Archeology Museum Empúries

Archaeological museum
Museums
Excavated ancient city overlooking the sea with a wharf, forum and thorough archaeological museum.
I cannot recommend enough the audio guide. It’s beautifully written, well put together and helps bring everything alive. The day we visited, though not too hot (30°) but there is little to no shade so make sure you’re wearing a hat and comfortable shoes. The site has preserved the idea of the two towns (Greek and Roman) without resorting to oafish reproductions. It’s all still exposed and wild and benefits from that. Astonishing to think that 200 years before Christ, the Greeks were already living and trading here. The neighbouring village is elegant and charming with what seem like some fine dining spots. On the whole, if you’re in the area, have an interest in history and want to revel in the ancient, do have a look. On the way out you’ll pass the relics of the amphitheater… I dare you to stand in the middle and not ask the world “are you not entertained?!”
Scott C — Google review
Dating back to the 5th Century BC, the Ruins of Empuries was first Greek and then a Roman city that was built around trading. The site is vast and takes atleast 2 hours to see, consisting of the Greek city, the Museum and the Roman city. The Greek city is the highlight of the ruins and similar to Delos. A must visit and well worth the 40 min drive from Girona
Brendan D — Google review
What a wonderful spot for an escape enroute to Barcelona from Figueres! Plan for 3-4 hours to soak it all in, or a day and enjoy the beach as well! You’ll travel back 2500 years walking through the ruins! And have detailed descriptions from the cell phone guided tour.

I went in November on a stormy day. So they were no summer tourists all over the place. It was raining all morning and when I reached the.place in the afternoon I was only one at the Museum. For the full 1 hr or so, I had the entire place for myself. It was so surreal :) Coming to the place itself, how often do you get to see Greek and Roman ruins at one place and at this scale? I have always been a Greek and Roman mythology Nerd and this was a perfect place for a guy like me :) If you are anywhere in the Costa Brava region and you are into history, dont miss this place :)
Suresh K — Google review
Very interesting place, having both roman and greek ruïns so close to eachother. I liked going here. You can take wonderfull pictures and they have an audioguide you can use on your phone with free wifi. AMAZING! Ps. It does get quit hot here sometimes so if you're going in summer I'd recomend bringing a hat because there isn't a lot of shade. :)
Lotte C — Google review
We paid 7 euros, and it was definitely the best 7 euros spent in a long time! Fascinating site still undergoing excavation. There are plenty of details around the Greek site, but not as much on the Roman site. You could easily spend a day there. Take plenty of water and sunscreen as you will be outside with little shade for the majority of the time. The indoor exhibition was closed for refurbishment on our visit, but they had put some of the better finds in a small room below.

Didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did! Lots of walking involved but the audio guide was super informative which really caught our attention. Google maps wasn’t as helpful as just following the road signs once we were near the site. Also has a GORGEOUS on site restaurant/cafe with a huge patio I wish we had time to try. We went a weekday in October and it was phenomenal weather and super empty. I imagine it gets quite hot as it’s exposed outside. Also a few bathrooms which is helpful. Parking was a lot just after the museum turn off road sign.

The Royal Castle of Collioure is an ancient castle complex with a rich historical background and stunning panoramic views from its highest point. Situated on the Mediterranean coast in the Pyrenees-Orientales department, this citadel has deep roots dating back to Roman times and was later transformed into a royal court residence. Over the years, it served various purposes including being used as a prison and disciplinary camp for refugees from Spain.

A fantastic place to visit. Spectacular views of the surrounding area from almost every angle so a great place if you like taking photos. Guided tours are available in French and they have written guides available in several languages. There is plenty of interesting information and displays about the history of the area. There is an art gallery floor with lots of beautiful pieces of work. I would describe the place as family friendly - we saw lots of young children and there was plenty of space for them to run around in the courtyard and have fun. Good, clean toilets and a place to refill water bottles. It cost us 7 Euros each to get in (August 2025) and was well worth the visit. We parked in the car park at the top of the town and used the free shuttle bus to get into the busier areas.
Purple A — Google review
One of the biggest and ancient castles on the region. It’s a true royal fortress as it says. There are a lot of groups of students visiting some excursions so make sure you are prepared. In the castle there are some temporary expositions including the one dedicated to the history of the place in 1930s. Moreover you can find an escape room and a projecting performance. At the end of the visit you will see the underlying rooms of the fortress. It’s as breathtaking as the view from the highest tower.
Kirill M — Google review
The views from the Château Royal are absolutely amazing — looking out over the sea and the colorful town of Collioure is worth the visit on its own. However, the inside of the castle was a bit disappointing. There isn’t much to see beyond the empty stone walls, and the exhibitions felt limited and not very engaging. Considering the entrance fee, we expected more history or interactive displays. Overall, a nice stop for the scenery, but the interior could be improved to make the visit more worthwhile.

The walk within the park itself just around the parking du stade to the coast was nice and felt like a natural space, but the seaside walk past that to the north was just a meter.5 wide strip atop cliffs next to a campground and RV park. The sea views were nice but not a great locale

(Translated by Google) The old path is now inaccessible due to safety concerns, yet the new path is even more beautiful than the old one! It is certainly a slightly more strenuous route than a simple walk, but it is well worth the detour! A morning route in the summer seems more suitable to me! (Original) L'ancien chemin est maintenant inaccessible pour des problèmes de sécurité, pourtant le nouveau chemin est encore plus beau que l'ancien ! Certes il s'agit d'un parcours un peu plus intense qu'une simple promenade de santé, mais il vaut largement le détour ! Un parcours matinal en période estivale me semble plus adéquat !

(Translated by Google) This coastal path, which I took from Racou Beach to Collioure, is a delight. You'll pass two other beaches, one pebble and the other thick sand. The view of the bay is magnificent at sunset or sunrise. Bring sneakers and possibly water shoes for swimming at the pebble beach. (Original) Un ravissement que ce sentier du littoral que j’ai fait de la plage du Racou à Collioure. Vous passerez par deux autres plages une de galets l’autre de sable épais.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant and beautiful walk along the coast. Sometimes it's flat, like walking along a small beach, but also lots of steps and steep paths. You can swim along the way, grab a bite at a restaurant, or have a drink on a pirate-themed terrace with a stunning view. Definitely worth it, but make sure you wear sturdy shoes. (Original) Hele leuke en mooie wandeling langs de kust. Soms vlak als over een strandje loopt maar ook veel trappen en steile paden. Je kan zwemmen onderweg, wat eten in een restaurantje of wat drinken op een piraten terras met prachtig uitzicht. Zeker de moeite waard maar wel op stevige schoenen.

Great spot, fun day out for the family! Seems to have been upgraded a lot since last year based on previous comments. At least 10 decent water slides, 6 board surfing slides, 10 jump slides, obstacle course, shallow pool with volleyball and sad looking lazy river which we passed on. Can't bring food in but two outlets inside and not a complete ripoff. Music playing all day and a fun atmosphere even watching other people on the jumps. I think it's half price for 14:00 onwards only.
Gareth M — Google review
What a fantastic place, absolutely epic. My 8 and 11 year old kids didnt want to leave. Facilities are good. This was our second visit, we came last year (2024) before the larger slides had been finished so this year was extra fun. The slides are definitely not for the faint hearted. It felt very safe and not too big so you can keep an eye on the kids at all times. Its not really suitable for small kids, probably 5/6 and under. They have lockers and changing facilities. 10 out of 10 most definitely.
Sally L — Google review
The facilities were good as the park had a large variety of slides and a water assault course which was fun. There was also a small pool with a net which was used for water volleyball. However, it was very packed and pricey. We saw people constantly queuing outside at all the times of the day and a lot of the slides had long queues. The water assault course needed to be properly managed as there were also too many people which made it unsafe. I can’t imagine how packed it would be on a weekend! We payed €35 euros each which is expensive for a day out so we got there at 10:00 when it opened to get our moneys worth. We ended up only staying a couple of hours as the atmosphere wasn’t for us due to the blasting music. However, all the staff were lovely and we would still recommend going.

We had a great time at the waterpark as a family. Our kids (10 and 11 years old) had so much fun and we parents also enjoyed the slides. The staff is really nice and attentive. Big plus that you don’t have to pay extra for sitting on the sun chairs, as in other parks. I am giving 4 stars out of 5 because you are not allowed to take any food & drinks with you (and yes, they will check your bags at the entrance) and the food one can buy at the park is ice cream, sodas and deep fried fast food at steep prices. Not sure about the water quality either. We all had red, itchy eyes after the visit and our simsuits & towels smelled a bit weird when unpacking them at home. But nevertheless, we really had a fun day and even though the park looks smallish from the outside we spent many hours there without feeling bored.

Castell de Peralada

Mentioned on 
+3 other lists 
Party planner
Food & Drink
Castell de Peralada is a historic estate with medieval origins that offers museum tours and tastings of cava, liqueurs, and wine. The current castle dates back to 1285 when it was rebuilt outside the walls to avoid spatial limitations. In 1875, it was refurbished into a French-style chateau with an extensive park. During the summer, the castle hosts musical performances under the stars.
Situated on the Perlada estate, with a free transfer from the hotel, if you are looking for an evening to remember then you must visit here. The tasting menu is excellent value for money with a superb range of local dishes and is rare that the maître d'hôtel also holds a Michelin star for the excellent service and he is also a cheese aficionado which explains the excellent cheese board on offer. The only downside was that we spend so much time enjoying our meal that we did not finish until 02:00 which is when the Casino closes but at least that saved me losing some money!

Lots to see from glass collections to pottery and a library that hosts 100,000 books among other collective items. A sanctuary with lots of paintings hanging on the walls. The tour lady spoke English and French which was really nice and she is very knowledgeable and nice. We didn't get to do the garden tour but it looked gorgeous from outside.

This beach is located in the city of SAgaro and it is a very popular spot for sunbathing and swimming. It is also a great place to enjoy the views of the sea. The beach has wide sand beaches and there are many restaurants and bars close by.
We stayed a week at Sant Pol beach and we loved it. The beach with a clean sea and deep water is occupied mainly by locals, there are very few tourists. It offers relaxed atmosphere, sports and water activities, brunch and tapas bars and restaurants. Recommended for those avoiding summer rush and crowded places. ❤️🇪🇸

One of the best experiences I’ve had. My friend and I went on a tour kayaking at this beach. This beach was so beautiful and clear just like these pictures and videos. I will definitely come back here. We went in mid May and it was still a little bit chilly but the tour gave us the wetsuit and we did not feel cold at all. The tour and kayaking experience was amazing and I definitely recommend it to people!

Beautiful beach and area. Lined with hotels and restaurants that do not take away from the beauty. The waves are calmed which makes for a lovely experience. We went in march the water was 15 a little chilly but when the kids want to enjoy the beach and water you go when you can. We played all day and watched the sunset. Convenient parking and a great walk way.

Cala Giverola is a small, pine-fringed cove located about 5 kilometers north of Tossa de Mar in Costa Brava. It offers a naturally striking beach experience with wild, rugged cliffs and beautiful turquoise waters. The bay is surrounded by rocky hills covered with pine trees, creating an exceptional location between the azure blue of the Mediterranean Sea. This almost 200-meter-long sandy beach is popular for families and offers various amenities such as showers and sunbeds.
Beautiful beach to relax and enjoy some fresh breeze from the ocean. The views are amazing, you can get there by boat from Tossa de Mar which also goes through some beautiful caves before arriving here.
Julian C — Google review
Nice beach. Coarse sand and stones. Clear water with a rich underwater flora and fauna. Snorkelling equipment is quite recommended. At the restaurant you need wait to be seated about 30 minutes. The menu is pizza and pasta. Nothing special. There is even no any green salad. The parking is quite busy even thought it costs 20 eur a day. We arrived at 12:30 and it was a miracle we were parked. So you need to come there earlier.
Dmitry V — Google review
It is an amazing little isolated place. There are a few restaurants and a hotel. You can either go here by hiking or by a boat. It's not that far by hiking, just 1.5hrs. Boat is expensive as they are tourist boats with glass bottoms, which I would suggest to avoid if you are on a budget. The water is a bit warmer here. But there are lots of stones so a bit difficult to get into and out of the water... But once in, it's paradise. I went on a week day so there were few people.

Very nice beach, nice atmosphere. Good for families. Nice snorkeling too. Has a beach bar and restaurant, but did not make use of that. Hope that you're lucky to park alongside the road, other wise you're stuck with paying a ridiculous €30! However, parking is free after 18.00.

Cala Pola is a beautiful beach located just 2km away from Tossa de Mar. The area offers a variety of other beaches within close proximity, such as Platja de la Mar Menuda and Cala de l'Ull de Vidre, all within a few kilometers. Additionally, visitors can explore cultural venues like the Museu del Mar Maritime Museum and Castillo de Tossa de Mar, both just a short distance away.
Super beautiful bay just 5 min drive from Tossa. The beach is good equipped, you can find there toilet, restaurant, children playground. Everything new and clean. It is also very easy to enter the water compare to other beaches and it has a quite wide sand stripe which is nice if you travel with a baby. The bay is very popular so it is better to be there earlier to catch a parking slot. Unfortunately it is impossible to park hourly 😢, only for a day, the price 20 euro.

If you're younger than 25, this is the place for you: lots of youth, a DJ playing music on loud volume and you probably don't care that you have to walk 2 km from the nearest parking. However, if you're coming here with a family and want to enjoy a nice and relaxing day at the beach, then I'd suggest to continue to Cala Giverola. The view is very nice though.

Beautiful views near the cove, the waves were too strong for swimming. The campsite is closed so there are no restaurants or bars, it’s best to bring you own food and drinks. Accessible by bus and a small hike down the mountain from Giverola resort.

We took a day trip by train from Barcelona to Girona, and it was absolutely worth it. There’s an audio tour available for the interior of the church, while exploring the outside grounds is free.

Girona wall is unmissable even f you are going on a day trip. It’s easy to walk & you must walk it if you visit the old town . During my 2 weeks stay I climbed it several times from 3 different routs , south & notrth . It goes through old town and offers get b’views of cities and observation points. You will love the detailing of wall with its lovely little windows or red stone or steps and small squares to wait and enjoy views. You can climb at some places the small metal circular staircases to have higher views of the city or skip it altogether and continue walking . It is bit narrow but 2 ppl can easily pass at a time. The height of wall is well maintained without any risk of falling or slipping . O realm feet pleasant experience and short hike at a historic place, definitely a must to do . It’s free completely.

We stopped in Girona just for a day on our way back from Morocco, and walking along the Muralles was one of the highlights. The views over the city and nearby hills are stunning, and the historical atmosphere is really strong here. It happened to be during the flower festival, which made everything feel extra magical. It's a beautiful mix of nature, history, and peaceful city vibes. Would definitely come back to explore more. 📌 Interesting fact: The Girona city walls (Muralles de Girona) date back to Roman times and were expanded during the medieval period. Today, you can walk long stretches of the restored walls for free and enjoy panoramic views of the historic center and the surrounding area.

Girona Cathedral

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Girona Cathedral, a Roman Catholic church in Girona, is a popular tourist attraction known for its Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The cathedral features a record-breaking 22-meter-wide Gothic nave. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the cathedral from Cafe l'Arc on Placa de la Catedrale. The old town also offers attractions such as the Cloister and the Tower of Charlemagne, dating back to the 13th century.
800 years in the making, and well worth a visit. At only €7.50 for the Cathedral and the Basilica down the road, it very fairly priced. There is an audio tour which is detailed and insightful, and provides good context to the building. Overall, it’s a highly impressive, historic must visit in Girona! Don’t forget to walk around the beautiful gardens just to the north.

Don’t walk run to this iconic Cathedral. The steps are wonderful to sit and people watch and soak in the Game of Thrones feeling. Inside is grand. The cloisters in the garden are lovely to sit and cool off. I bought the 3 in 1 ticket so no need to line up… go to the tourism office in Girona first. They are so helpful. Quite wonderful.

Lovely cathedral and nice to see where they filmed some of the game of thrones. The walk on the wall surrounding it is quite something and worth doing. If you more in depth information it's probably worth going on a small guided tour.
Neil C — Google review
Visiting Girona Cathedral was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Spain. Climbing the steep steps to see its stunning Gothic façade and elegant Baroque details, I knew it was going to be unforgettable. Inside, the cathedral’s nave—the widest Gothic nave in the world—left me completely in awe. The way light streamed through the stained-glass windows and highlighted the intricate stonework made me feel like I was walking through centuries of history. What fascinated me even more were the stories hidden within these walls. The cathedral has witnessed pivotal moments in history, from the medieval struggles during the Reconquista to its role as a religious and political center in Catalonia. I was intrigued to learn that it was originally built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, and its construction spanned several centuries, reflecting the changing styles and influences over time. Beautiful cloisters, which date back to the 11th century, have seen everything from daily monastic life to historical ceremonies that shaped the region. Inside, there is so much to see. The main altar, with its stunning Gothic retablo, is breathtaking, and the Treasury houses priceless religious artifacts, including chalices, reliquaries, and medieval manuscripts. The Museu d’Art Sacre attached to the cathedral showcases beautiful liturgical garments and intricate paintings. I was also captivated by the fantastic rose window at the entrance and the Baroque pulpit, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Legend adds an extra layer of magic to the cathedral. They say that on quiet nights, the ghostly figure of a white-clad woman—known as the “White Lady of Girona”—wanders the cloisters, mourning a lost love. Locals claim she was a noblewoman whose secret romance ended tragically, and her spirit now lingers, protecting the cathedral and its treasures. This add a pinch of mystery to the history of this magnificent church. Climbing the tower gave me a breathtaking view of Girona’s old town, the Onyar River, and the surrounding hills—it really makes you appreciate how this cathedral has stood as a guardian over the city for centuries.For anyone visiting Girona, the cathedral is not just a sight to see—it’s a journey through time, mystery, and culture. Entrance cost €7.50 and its well worth it.

A must visit if in Girona especially if you are a game of thrones fan. Jaime rode his horse partially up the stairs which is very impressive. Word is it took 2 weeks to train the horse. Inside is a small museum and amazing architecture for your entry fee. Views from top of stairs are really cool.
Steven S — Google review
I had a fairly negative experience when visiting this cathedral which was a shame. I was approached by some men on the street and shouted at, which took away from the natural beauty and atmosphere of the cathedral, i was warned by locals not to be in the area by myself and they walked me back to the centre of Girona. I think if you are in a group or with a friend it is definitely worth a visit, I was just unlucky, and maybe be a bit more alert if you are a solo female traveller too!

It has great information and translations are in Castellano, Catalán, and English. I would allow for 45min to 1.5 hr for the visit. Additionally the very sweet and kind lady work the desk first thing in morning was delightful and professional. Make this a stop if your in Griona.

This was one of the museums I definitely wanted to visit while being in Girona. Extremely interesting, very well located and have 2 exhibitions: one temporary (which is free) and the permanent (2-4 euros/person). The temporary is not available in English, only the handbook, but the permanent can be followed in English. Walking through history, with the amazing audio guide I understood more about Jewish people and their culture and past. 10/10 recommend!

Ponte de les Peixateries Velles was built from 1876 to 1877 by the company responsible for constructing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This pedestrian only bridge is very popular amongst tourists as it connects the historic old part of the city to the new part. It’s bright red painted steel is an eye catcher though the diamond shapes created by crisscrossing the steel beams is also something to marvel at. Definitely recommend

Great viewing point in Girona separating the city into two halves. You see beautiful colourful house on the banks of Onyar river. There are many local food shops around.

The 'must-see' point of any trip to Girona, this picturesque raw of houses by the canal, with their intense colors, will remind you of other sites in Europe, like Bruges or Venice. Despite, sorry to say, that the majority are much debilitated and hence inhabitable, they still they offer a wonderful scenery that changes according to the light.

I also turned up the colors a bit, otherwise it wouldn't have been anything special. So... don't expect too much from this location, or you'll be disappointed. (Original) De meeste foto's die je op internet ziet geven wel een ietwat vertekend beeld van deze locatie De kleuren zijn in het echt behoorlijk minder intens.

One of my favourite places to go both when I was a kid and also now as an adult. During the winter and autumn is beautiful to walk around, feed the ducks, go on a jog or go cycling.

There’s designated areas that you can only swim in, one includes paying for drinks in the restaurant before you’re allowed to swim... seems a bit odd! But over all nice for a swim and day of chilling.
