Daytrip to Girona
by MalenaN
Like many other tourists I visited Girona on a daytrip from Barcelona, but there are much more to see in Girona then you can see in a day. The city is situated 91 km northwest of Barcelona and has got a population of about 90 000. It is a lovely city with the old town spreading out on the hill east of River Onyar. I spent most of my time in Girona wandering around the narrow streets in the charming old town. There are several churches and museums of interest.
Girona is the Roman town Gerunda. It was situated along the highway running from Cadiz to Rome, Via Augusta, and here the Romans built a fortress. Later it came under Muslim control, but was taken by the Franks in AD 797. For some time Girona was the capital of one of the most important Catalonian counties, but in 878 it fell under Barcelona count ship. In the 11th century Girona was declared to be a city.
10 km south of the city is Girona airport. This airport is used by low budget flights like Ryan air for their flights to Barcelona. It takes one hour by bus from the airport to Barcelona, but if you land here don’t forget that Girona is a great city to visit as well!

RE: public transport to hotel
by Carmela71
There are ryanair buses from the airport
Línea Aeropuerto - Girona
It takes 25 minutes
From Girona to airport 5.00 to 22.00, every hour; from the airport from 5.30 till 0.30, every hour.
Phone 902 130 014
thsi si the information at the web site of the airport, hope it helps http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?cid=1046767807621&pagename=Estandar%2FPage%2FAeropuerto&SMO=1&SiteName=GRO&p=1046767807418&c=Page&MO=1
A taxi will be around 18 euros
RE: public transport to hotel

Sorry, Carmen, you are talking nonsense.
The transfer is more like one hour and a taxi would be more like 80 euros.
It is still easy by bus and costs about 18 euros return..

I hope the question is about a Barcelona hotel or else my humble apologies to Carmen.

Hi Isabella,
I don't think so.
Surely the taxi fare in Barcelona would only be about 5-7 euros, or even less?
Cheers

I am afraid I gave the wrong info as I gave buses to Girona, not barcelona, I guess with a name like that, I though the hotel was in Girona. (taxi price is from airport to Girona)
But all the buses info is in the link I gave from the airport web site, but it is only in spanish ....

As soon as you get off your Ryanair flight you will go through customs and all that stuff....then their will be bus booking booths before you exit the airport. Its a bus that leaves every 45 mins or close to that. The ride is about 1hr and drops you off at center of Barcelona. its pretty simple! the price is 12-18 Euros....i cant remember sorry!!
cheers
