The Girona City Guides deal with the questions every visitor has: where to sit down for a proper weekday set lunch instead of a photo menu, how to walk the walls and the Jewish quarter before the day-trip coaches roll in, which small museums deserve your morning and which Costa Brava coves you can reach without a car. Each guide is a short list with a clear opinion, telling you why a place is worth it, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Draps
Carrer de la Cort Reial 2, old town
A long-established old-town dining room with a seasonal four-course menu for about €33 including wine, and a cheaper lunch on weekdays. Think duck salad, tuna tartare and slow-cooked beef, served all day without fuss. From the food guide.
Torre Gironella
Carrer de la Muralla, top of the old town
The oldest and highest point of the medieval walls, on Roman foundations, with the stump of a tower that collapsed in 1404. Free, rough underfoot and unlit, with a full-circle view that beats every paid one. From the things to do guide.
Castell de Sant Ferran
Figueres, uphill from the Dalí museum
A huge 18th-century fortress with three kilometres of walls, often so quiet you have the ramparts to yourself. Entry is about €5, and the boat ride through the underground cisterns is the odd highlight. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Girona
Day one: walk the walls and the Call early with the things to do guide, take a set lunch from the food guide, then end with vermouth and a natural wine bar from the nightlife guide. Day two: ride the train to Figueres for Dalí or a bus to a Costa Brava cove with the day trips guide. On a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides send you to the cinema museum, the Arab Baths, the covered market and a long lunch.
