From Girona Train Station, explore the city of Girona and other points of interest in Catalonia. Jump into your Avis hire car to discover the many treasures of northern Spain.

We make car rental easy, because we know you can’t wait to feel the freedom of the road and get the very most out of your stay. Wherever your travels take you, the keys are waiting for you to unlock the world.

The centre of Girona lies 1km north-east of the main train station, with the heart of the city only moments away.

The Province of Girona is steeped in history, which can be best appreciated by the ancient architecture that still remains, such as the Roman walls - which were extended in medieval times. A stroll along the ramparts provides great views of the city. The Forca Vella, which was built by the Romans as well, is another ancient site worth visiting.

For both relaxation and history, head for the Banys Arabs. This is the only known bathhouse from Medieval Christian Spain. It dates from the 12th century and is based on Muslim and Roman designs of previous centuries. This bathhouse is thought to be around 1,000 years old, but it’s still functioning, and bathers can relax in the sauna and plunge pools all year round.

From rustic eats to fine dining, Girona is a gastronomic city through and through. For a sweet treat, visit the many bakeries of the city and order xuixo - a sweet pastry that is filled with cream, deep fried, and covered in sugar. And for something more substantial, try some classic or contemporary Catalan dishes in many of the city’s restaurants.

With an Avis rental car, you’re completely free to travel around Girona and beyond at your leisure.

Girona is ideally placed to explore all of the attractions of the surrounding region too, so head off in your rental car and explore.

L’Estartit

This small coastal town is just a 30-minute drive from Girona. This is the perfect spot for water-sports enthusiasts. L’Estartit is the premier destination for diving on the Costa Brava, and a great place to try water sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving. For those who want to do things at a slower pace, find a patch of golden sand on the 5km stretch of beach, which is bounded by rolling sand dunes, and bask in the sun’s rays.

Olot

A 50-minute drive north-west leads to the town of Olot. This is paradise for outdoor and nature fans. Two extinct volcanoes and an abundance of forests, which are perfect for hiking, surround the town. Be sure to visit the Volcano Museum to learn about the geological history of the region.

With your Avis hire car, you can discover the city of Girona as well as the seaside and countryside gems that are just a short drive away.
