A room for the next stop
For a short-notice rail stop, the station side is easiest. If you want the old town, look at walking access and reception hours.

Girona fits the stone lanes of Barri Vell, the brightly painted Onyar houses and the rail station into one compact city. Where you stay changes the walk. The old town climbs toward the cathedral, and the west bank has flatter streets and quicker train access.
The cathedral steps, the Jewish quarter and the city walls are in Barri Vell, east of the Onyar. The lanes are atmospheric but steep and cobbled in places. If the room is high in the old quarter, ask about luggage access.
The red Pont de les Peixateries Velles crosses the Onyar to the shopping streets. Rambla de la Llibertat has arcades by the river, and Plaça de la Independència has terraces across the water.
The Eixample stretches south and west toward Girona station. It is good for early trains and easy arrivals, with a more regular street grid than Barri Vell. Parc de la Devesa, north of the center, is the shady break.
Girona is a practical base for a city break or a train trip from Barcelona. The cathedral and walls are worth walking slowly. Leave time for the stairs and viewpoints instead of treating the old town as a quick stop.
Stay among the cathedral, the Call and the narrow medieval lanes for a history-focused visit. The cobbles and climbs come with the setting. If you need step-free access, ask the hotel.
Around here: Girona Cathedral, Jewish quarter, Arab Baths
The river bridges and the arcaded Rambla put the old-town sights on one side and the shops on the other. This central area is useful if you cross between the two banks all day.
Around here: Pont de les Peixateries Velles, Onyar houses, Rambla de la Llibertat
The flatter west-bank streets around the train and bus stations are easier with luggage and onward travel. To reach the cathedral, you cross the Onyar and climb.
Around here: Girona station, Plaça d’Espanya, Plaça de la Independència
The northern edge of the center has Parc de la Devesa, the Sant Feliu basilica and routes into Barri Vell. It is a quieter base near open space.
Around here: Parc de la Devesa, Basilica of Sant Feliu, Sant Feliu bridge
Spring and autumn are good for long walks on Girona’s walls and through Barri Vell. April and May are wetter than midsummer. July highs average near 87 °F and the month is fairly dry, so plan climbs for morning or evening.
Girona station has high-speed and regional trains, and the bus station is beneath it. Girona–Costa Brava Airport (GRO) is about 6 miles south of the city, with scheduled buses into town. Compare the bus times with your flight.
