One of my favorite places in Catalonia. This sea city features everything you need for a fun and relaxing weekend. Beaches are clean and spacious with Tiki bars, and restaurants all around the town. The views are absolutely amazing no matter where you go. Going up hill is a fantastic experience whether by train or on foot. Every step you take has a view. Although there are few ruins left of the ancient fortress, you still can appreciate the walls and towers which surround it. There's a nice little restaurant half way up the top of the hill, and another one where the light house stands at. There's also a cute museum with nice little things found in the area. Don't miss taking a picture with Ava Gardner's sculpture and the little chapel behind it and on the way back you can follow a different path with stone covered streets which lead to all the traditional restaurants and shops and don't forget to wear comfortable shoes to climb up the stairs along the walls.

So beautiful to walk around. Old castle vibes and great views of the sea from its walls - it seemed like a movie. Visit it if you are in Tossa de Mar. 👌

This ancient fortress wall, perched high on the cliffs overlooking the picturesque town of Tossa de Mar, carries an aura of history and charm. As I walk along the well-preserved stone pathways, I am transported back in time, imagining the lives of those who once defended this coastal stronghold. The commanding views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and the rugged coastline are simply awe-inspiring. The blend of medieval architecture, narrow winding streets, and colorful houses make Tossa de Mar a true gem on the Costa Brava. The Muralles de Tossa de Mar not only offer a glimpse into the past but also provide a stunning vantage point to admire the beauty of the present. Exploring these ancient walls is a journey through time that ignites my imagination and deepens my appreciation for the rich history and natural splendor of this enchanting town.

Nice village to spend quiet time next to the chill sea..
I would say that it is the best for elders and couples with kids.
Great views, old streets, plenty of restaurants... The old town is very cozy as well.

Tossa de Mar has no direct train from Barcelona, you have to go to Gerona or Calella and travel onwards from there.
Parts of the old town date back to the 1600's with what I would describe as 'typical' Spanish architecture. The basement of the museum in the castle dates back to Roman times where there was a villa. As can be seen from the pictures there is the original mosaic.
There are beautiful views across the bay from the top of the castle and is worth the walk.

One of the best beaches i have ever been to. If you're a tourist and wants to visit beach in Spain then i would recommend to visit Costa Brava Region. This is a beautiful pebble beach. Tossa de mar is one of the cities to visit them. There are 2-3 beaches, small and big. There is a castle on the beach side so you can see Sea from some height. There isn't any fee to enter the castle. There are direct Buses to Tossa de mar from Barcelona, operated by Moventis, I don't know about the prices, but it should be around 10-15 Euros. If you want to travel from Girona, then you have to take bus till Lloret de mar (One way price 6,05, takes 1 hour) and then lloret de mar to Tossa de mar (takes 25-30 minutes, one way price 2.4 Euros). You can also visit beautiful streets of Tossa de mar.

The castle was nothing special. Boring. I mean I can toss a coin anywhere in the world and find something more interesting. Don't take the train, as it is even worse of a waste of money, unless you have mobility issues.

Took the boat from Lloret de Mar and landed on the beach to the beautiful views of Tossa de Mar. It was hot, but the hike to the top was well worth the walk. Exploring the quaint roads around was great.

Having strolled through the city, going to the old castle throws you back in time. You can almost see the large sailing ships, hear the cannons roar and see the soldiers manning the tower and fortress.
Looking down to the ocean from the castle is amazing. You can actually see the fish and rocks going disappearing in the depths of the ocean.
On top of it all - quite literally - there is a small cafe with the most amazing views. Almost 360 degrees unhindered view of the Mediterranean.
Enjoy your drink!

Platja de Lloret de Mar is a beautiful and popular beach with a large bay. The sandy shore can be busy, and the water has surprisingly large waves that deepen quickly. There's a steep drop-off from the beach to the sea, making it less suitable for small children. However, there are calmer areas near Castel d'en Plaja and in the evenings.
It's a very nice beach with lots of entertainment, bars and restaurants. Very clean water, but watch your kids when it is wavy. It's deep in a couple of metres.

La playa de Lloret donde puedes contemplar un precioso amanecer rodeado de gente meando, vomitando y tirando todo tipo de basura al agua.
Un agua que a pesar de todo está razonablemente limpia y puedes hacer snorkel y disfrutar del fondo marino lleno de bragas, compresas, botellas, latas y otros artilugios varios que depositan las "personas" que visitan la ciudad.
Totalmente recomendable coger el coche e irse a donde sea que seguro que está más limpio.
(Translated by Google)
Lloret beach where you can watch a beautiful sunrise surrounded by people pissing, vomiting and throwing all kinds of rubbish into the water.
A water that despite everything is reasonably clean and you can snorkel and enjoy the seabed full of panties, compresses, bottles, cans and other various gadgets that "people" who visit the city deposit.
Totally recommendable to take the car and go to wherever it is sure that it is cleaner.

Came here for the day, stayed in one little area! I really like this beach the sea is quite clear, the sand is quite rough and hard to walk on but it’s ok, there’s plenty to do, drinks and food nearby an aqua course, pedal boats, toilets and showering facilities nearby. the sun beds are €8 each and extra for umbrellas and has lovely views of the area. It’s relatively busy but not overly crowded. I would come back to this beach i’ve had a great day!

Decent beech, if not a little busy. I could not walk on the sand barefoot (VERY, very small pebbles), the beech has surprisingly large waves and the water gets deep quickly. There is a steep drop-off from beech to sea which, whilst good for landing small pleasure boats, is not good for small children. I (adult) was almost knocked off my feet by waves whilst walking along the shoreline. Up towards Castel d'en Plaja (rocky area), plus (generally) in the evenings, the drop-off/wave size was not as bad.

Traveled here on the local bus from Tossa Dr Mar.
Having got off at the main bus station it was not far to walk to the beach and along the cliff top path to climb up the rocky headline or further if you wish to.
Nice sandy edge inlet swimming shallows.
Well worth a day trip and worth the bus price.
Check before returning as I thought I bought a return ticket but was informed otherwise at the ticket office bus station when I enquired about this.
Nice scenic stroll along the promenade beach front and returned back to the bus station down the back streets.

Nice place to visit, excellent food, lots of bars and clubs people are very welcoming the food pictures are from the best restaurant by far la tagliatellia located on the far end of the beach close to the castle.
Playa de Fenals is a city beach situated in the quiet and serene district of Lloret de Mar. It boasts of coarse white sand, crystal-clear water, lifeguards, toilets, lockers, and a range of water sports facilities for both kids and adults. The beach offers an array of water entertainment options such as boat trips, kayaking among others. Xaloc restaurant situated within the vicinity offers excellent culinary experiences to visitors.
The very best beach on Costa Brava. Really, if you ever wanted to go to Lloret de Mar, don't go to the city center, choose Fenals district as it's more silent, with very good Xaloc restaurant, clean beach and nice walking routes.

Nothing special. The best at this location is the rock formations on the right side of the beach, especially in summer late evening. Unfortunately too many R U PPL. I felt uncomfortable (little stalingrad). I will not back because of this.

In my opinion it's better than the main beach in Loretta de mar. It seems a bit classier and not as commercial. There are a few bars and restaurants if required. The entrance to the sea is steep at the south end and shallow at the north.

very nice but 7am in the morning you recognize the main objective of this small spot, party party fiesta 🤣 full of the leftovers from last nigt, outside the beach you smell urine allover. But it is beautiful, just the sand isn’t that fine as I am used to it. deserves almost five points as per beauty and view.

Beautiful beach very clean would imagine very busy in peak season but wouldn't put me off as the waters are so clear . You can either relax or do parasending pedalos bannana boat or even day trips to other resorts from here so again plenty to do or just chill and enjoy your surroundings
The gardens of Santa Clotilde are a beautiful and tranquil place to spend a holiday in Lloret de Mar. The garden is broken down by the Italian renaissance gardens style, with lovely statues and flowers in abundance. There is also an expansive beach access that makes it easy to enjoy all the natural beauty the garden has to offer.
Beautiful garden!
Very enjoyable walk with many beauty spots where you can sit and enjoy the views - the beach, the sun glistening on the surface of the sea water or the calming green of the trees against the blue sky and sea!!!
Statues, fountains and beautiful staircases cascading down the terraces, big trees along the alleys guide your eyes in different directions as well as providing shade and comfort on a hot day.

What a great views and place to rest and switch off. Everything is inspired by Italian gardens, which is great to see in Spain. Newest spin off of Game of Thrones been recorded there, so be for look out if you can recall some scenes.

A beautiful Mediterranean garden located right on the cliff of Lloret de Mar. The location is a bit hard to get by foot especially when it’s over 35 degrees; you’ll arrive drenched🥲 The entrance fee is rather reasonable of only 6€. There is a really useful map that is given that will guide you throughout the garden. The views of the beach with the mountains are just immaculate. A beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the see. I recommend going during the golden hour at about 18h40-19h during the summer to truly see the glow of the area. Don’t miss out on visiting this spot when in the beach town.

Famous botanic garden of Lloret de Mar, with great views and perfectly maintained flora. Entrance is very cheap compared to many other attractions, you can easily go here with children because even in botanic garden they can find something interesting - trees with oranges!

An excellent botanical garden located in Lloret de Mar. Admission is 6€ for adults and 3€ for children. It's not a very big place. but it is green and has a sea view. It is very nice to watch the sea through various plants and trees. There are many beautiful spots to take pictures. Definitely a place to visit for the view.

Not even close to the beauty of the Jardí Botànic Marimurtra in Blanes. If you have a time and opportunity, i would strongly recommend to visit Jardí Botànic Marimurtra instead.
We liked: fresh air, fountain, the view.
We didn't like: area size, too little variation of plants/trees, entire park looks the same, no cafe.

No shops or drinks stalls on site and only one toilet so not ideal for people with diabetes like my partner. Also why no access to the beach from here? Some lovely gardens though

lovely place lots of good views polite staff, a few gardener around, lovely views good price very nice place must go if you are in lloret, lots of benches and resting places once you get past the initial entrance walk, lots of water fountains to drink from and very clean and pleasant. Not allowed food in, but it takes only around 45 minutes to get around the whole place so as long as you have food before you shouldn't get hungry. Interesting place.
Rosie — Google review
A must visit for everyone who goes to Lloret. Amazing scenery all round, views of the beach are breathtaking and the gardens are beyond beautiful. €6 entry for adults, but definitely value for money. Bus stops about 3minute walk from gardens.

Passeig Jardins, s/n, 17310 Lloret de Mar, Girona, Spain
Water World Parc, situated in Catalonia and popular among tourists during summers, is a vast park covering 140,000 square meters. It boasts of fifteen water attractions suitable for all age groups, including water slides, a wave pool, and a kids' lagoon. The park is surrounded by natural areas and grassy patches ideal for picnics or sunbathing. Additionally, the park features various food options to cater to visitors throughout the day.
Great day out! The park is very big so be prepared to walk more than 20k steps🙈 there are plenty of choices for all ages from kiddie pools and spaces to the extreme rides for braver ones. There is a very useful waterproof your phone service at the entrance for 6€, lockers, restaurants and clean toilets. Definitely buy tickets online to avoid long queues. Park opens at 10, we were there at 9:30 and still waited about 15 mins. The queue to buy tickets was about 1h long. The fast track premium band is well worth as it allows faster access to rides.

Great aquapark for the people of different ages. It is cheaper to buy tickets online or even to buy "Season Pass ticket" online (81 euros per person for all the season of 2021). It has huge free car park 😀🚗👍❤

Ben Heine — Google review
Lovely day here today. Slides are good fun some are quite hard on an older body! 😊 seventeen year old loved it all though! It’s not a cheap day out though. We bought the advance tickets €33 and €18 fast passes which give you one quicker go on a selection of the rides. These were invaluable as some of the waits were up to 45 minutes that we saw. You collect them from the gift shop which is not obvious and the person at information just told me ‘up’ and pointed up the hill which wasn’t helpful. I asked another guest and they told me the shop which is not up the hill! It’s all clean and well managed, lifeguards everywhere. It’s looking a little tired in places to be sure but not that bad. If you buy food in advance you can get it from any food place just show your bar code. It is steep and involves quite a lot of walking but all water parks do. We weren’t hassled for photos and we just asked for our deposit back for the locker in euros. There was no trouble. Total price for everything for three people over 1 metre 20 cms including food, locker, fast pass and entry was €190 and we were there about six hours. We went on every ride once and had had enough, but some quiet rides you could go on again. All in all a good but expensive day! Especially as we got taxis there and back too from Santa Susanna - €30 each way 😊.
Helen Bradley — Google review
Very average water park. As a couple we went to look for a bit of fun we paid 70 euro for the both of us and paid 8 euro for a big locker inside the park. Our pickup bus was 25 minutes late and it left us waiting wondering whether it will ever turn up or not. This already brought the mood down.
As we settled down we proceeded onto the slides some of which were very fun and quick enough to go through with no waiting lines at times. Then we proceeded onto a few other slides were you get trapped waiting for over 30 minutes for a slide. We felt like there was a large distance to walk from slide to slide (HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING SWIMMING SHOES). There was no big swimming pool to chill out in which was disappointing. The area was very clean and well kept. There is a possibility to purchase food which is what you'd expect at a water park. There is also a place where pictures taken of you can be purchased near the exit.
We decided to leave early as we didn't really enjoy the park so we proceeded onto the early bus pickup and left more than 10 minutes prior to the bus however the bus for our destination was not in the lane with the destinations name in front of it so we didn't go to it and we waited at the seating area. Bare in mind this was after asking the staff member where exactly to wait. We were then informed that we missed the bus and we could get a taxi home or wait 2 hours for the next one. Luckily another bus took us on where we were dropped to get a bus home. I won't be returning and I would recommend spending your money elsewhere.

So, would have to agree with other reviews that queuing time is awful unless you get the fast passes so take off one star. Expensive but it meant the kids got a go on each ride. It is steep to walk around so be prepared if you're pushing a buggy or taking big picnic. But, having said that, we had a great day. Lots of free grassy areas with tree shade to set up camp (mostly on an incline) so we paid out again for sunbeds by the tropical pool - 4 euro each which we didn't think was bad. Didn't have the food, only got slushies at 6 euro each but they were big. The large rides didn't open til 11 but we got to the park about 10 and there are 4 or 5 slides open then that the kids all had a go on. It was only after they'd been waiting over an hour with a long way to go for the first big ride we realised only being there for the day they would spend most of the time standing not sliding. It's a shame because other reviewers had been before they introduced fast track and said queues were reasonable. Other problem there is if lots of people buy fast track, no one goes anywhere very quickly! All in all we really enjoyed our day but it is pricey!
Mich Hayes — Google review
Great place to spend a day. We were there from open to close. Kids loved every slide. Lifeguards were all lovely. Wave pool was hysterical, especially when everyone was clapping and counting down the bungee jumper. Food and drinks are a bit pricey. Locker was 11€ but you get 7€ tshirt to advertise the park when you return the key!!!
Annette Mayes — Google review
Located in a very beautiful area - the view is just amazing no matter where you stand.
All the rides were fun however, the tickets are a bit expensive if you get the fast track pass (we only got one for 6 rides). The fast track system was a bit confusing, you would go to a ride where it said number 6, yet they mark off number 5. The map should state which number is which ride to make it more clear.
The queue for the non-priority queue is very long, no point of saving money - just get the fast track otherwise you will wait for 40+mins.
CHANGING ROOMS DONT HAVE DOORS!! Basically - no privacy. Skip that and go to change in the toilets.
Food was meh, we went to the Mykonos place in the park, staff wasn't that friendly, the food was kind of bland.
And I am pretty sure they charge you €5 for a sunbed to lay in? Basically you pay over 80 pp and then on top you gotta pay for a locker, parking, and a sunbed.
But other than that - it was fun.
Viktorija Seliviorstova — Google review
Me and my partner spent the day here today. Despite the negative reviews, we actually had the most wonderful time.
We arrived at the same time as quite a lot of school groups did so we were a little worried at first. However, this didn’t end up having much of an impact on waiting times. We would queue for each ride for about 15minutes tops.
They have about x16 rides all together, all of which were manned well by the staff. It’s just a shame there wasn’t more rides.
Food was okay… wouldn’t buy again. If we were to come again, we would definitely bring a packed lunch. However, this Js just personal preference.
As a whole, we would recommend this water park to anyone who comes to Lloret Del Mar as we had a great time.

It's always nice to make some splashing, amazing sliders. Unfair super vip pass for + 29 euros people overtake you 1 hour waiting. Too expensive for families with 37 euros each person above 120 cm.
lino bragadini — Google review
Great water park. Really enjoyed it. Kids loved it too.
Positives:
Rides are brilliant (especially the X-Treme Mountain, Rafting River, Wild River and Hurricanes).
Wave pool was amazing.
Fantastic kids sections.
Chill out areas.
Negatives:
Food and drink prices are ridiculous. Also the level of service was awful (very inexperienced staff who had no haste about them). Seems the park pay absolute minimum wage and then charge absolutely extortionate prices (€3.90 for a Mcdonald's size fries, €3.50 for a soft drink, €2.30 for water etc). If we had all eaten a meal (burger, pizza etc), it would have cost around €90 - 100.
The entry price (€145 for a family of 5) was a bit steep but looking back it was worth it as we did enjoy it.
The whole park is set on a big hill so everything is uphill.
Lockers in the middle of park had no attendant so when we realised we wanted a locker, we had to go all the way down to the bottom to get a key.
People asking for photos knowing it'll be another extortionate price at the end.
A few rides were closed on the day which was disappointing.
Jonathan Davies — Google review
Great water park, easy spend whole day here. There's some great water rides. Recommend grabbing wet shoes from souvenir shop to walk around in with the hills and steps make it easy on your feet. Plenty of life guards around the park looking out for you. Food was quick and not too expensive. Went out of season so got to go on everything, but looking at the que lines you would be best getting the fast pass addon during the peak season
Grant Bartram — Google review
Water World Parc is something you must have done if you are on vacation in the neighborhood.
BUT...!!!
In an entire day we couldn't do all attractions.
Mostly because of the fast pass users. They keep on taking over most attractions.
We had to wait almost 90 minutes on a line of 45 minutes!!!
The fast pass is only good vor one thing! The cashflow for the parc company... 😠
It gives a lot of frustration for all the "normal" visitors.
So if you want to visit the entire parc with all of its attractions, don't go to the parc because you can't unless you spend a lot of extra money to a fast pass.
The entrance fee for our family of four was already 148 euros. Locker was 11 euros. Food was also expensive.
Fast pass for the four of us would have been 116 euros, which is way to much money for us...
The attractions are very nice but this way, the visit to the parc wasn't.

Ctra. Vidreres, Km. 1,2, 17310 Lloret de Mar, Girona, Spain
Hostal La Fosca is a relaxed beachfront hotel that features modern rooms and a Mediterranean restaurant. The hotel offers free breakfast, reservations, seating, table service, outdoor seating, parking availability, and highchairs for children. Guests can enjoy strolling along coastal paths with their kids or book biking and walking tours for a more adventurous experience. The on-site restaurant serves both kid-friendly meals and local cuisine at an extra charge.
Restaurant review: Quality-price relation of the food is excellent (they use their own organic produce). Very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered a paella to go and since it took 15min longer than expected, they invited me to a drink and a big amount of olives. What more can you ask for.

This place is fab and seriously worth a visit if you can get a table and should be viewed as a fabulous (really outstanding eatery) with dead cheap n super basic affordable and good vfm
The venue is almost directly on the beach with a welcoming professional team that understand customer service and great food. Children welcome
Some of the snobby customers should learn its rude to stare but the wine list is so great maybe they were just trying to refocus to believe the price was so reasonable

Krishinda Powers — Google review
The staff being friendly, can’t compensate for the tiny bedrooms of 3x3 meters, without airco or proper ceiling fan. Temperature goes up to 30 degrees in summer. The rooms are vintage as there was no proper maintenance since 40 years. They have reached a point the rooms should not be used till decent modernization. They will still be tiny but livable with at least an airco. Prices they charge are outrageous, taking the above into account. Hotel law should close these rooms asap. We left after one horrible night with screaming juveniles with music on the beach. Not the hotels fault but the lack of airco made it necessary to “sleep” with the door open, in order to make it alive to the next morning. One of the most horrible experiences in a civilized country like Spain.

Passeig de la Fosca, 24, 17230 Palamós, Girona, Spain
Jardíns de Cap Roig is a serene botanical garden that encompasses a stone castle in a picturesque environment. Established in 1927 by Russian Colonel Nicolai Woevodsky and English aristocrat Dorothy Webster, the garden spans over 20 hectares and features more than 800 botanical species. It is renowned as one of the most remarkable gardens in the Mediterranean region.
This is so much more than a beautiful botanic garden, it's a story of the lives, love and legacy of two people.
We arrived early and being able to explore the garden virtually alone was truly a
magical experience. I could feel the presence of Dorothy as I walked down the steps from house and into the garden with the beautiful views.
Lot's lovely places to sit and soak up the atmosphere.
Free car park, but if you have a motorhome, don't try freeloading, you have to visit the garden. 10€ for adults or 5€ if you are over 65.
What I really didn't like and I tried my best to ignore, we're the awful, out of place "sculptures". Why are they even there? Please get rid of the hideous, tacky bowl of fruit and put it back where it deserves to be in a holiday camp amusement arcade.
Having said that, if you can turn a blind eye, you will enjoy the garden.
Elizabeth Jackson — Google review
You can tell it's run by a bank. Spotless, the gutters at the sides of the path are swept clear of grit daily, the signposts are poor, the one way system in the car park isn't marked and the pedestrian entrance is closed and unmarked requiring an additional 1.5km to the ticket office. The first map is 100s of meters inside, no map handed out
Big summer music festival including Rod Stewart no less. Banks eh.
But the plants are great, nice sea view.
Worth going

Fastidiously designed estate with stunning attention to detail. High above the cliffs amongst the pine trees, twisting, anastomosing paths take you on a journey of botany and photo culture like never before. Especially the cactus area! Take your camera on a sunny day and you’ll not want to leave.
Sandy Man — Google review
It is a pleasant and well maintained botanical garden. The entrance is 10€, 5€ for students, and it looks like it is free for the clients of the Caixa bank (though I am not 100% sure about that).
We have visited during a low season, and there were only few other visitors. Of course, many plants are not at their most beautiful state in december...
It took us about an hour and a half. The castle was closed.
The only issue is a bad design of the walkways. Instead of having trails that meander through the entire garden, many of the trails have a dead end, so you have to retrace your steps quite often.
Alex Rublinetsky — Google review
Beautifully maintained gardens. Everything is labelled for identification. Staff are friendly. There is a picnic area and small children's play area. The stone castle looks amazing against the blue skies (cannot go inside). 10€ each in 2022 entrance fee and free if you have la caixa bank account, parking included in the price. of which there is plenty. Very clean toilets inside the grounds and vending machines outside (bottle of water 1€)
Fantastic sea views from the beautiful gardens and well worth a visit.

Highly recommend this beautiful garden to walk around and take in views over the sea. It is a large garden so I would recommend a few hours to walk around it all! Many types of plants and flowers can be seen, and some beautiful old buildings. Lots of places to sit and admire a nice view. Note that there is no cafe, only a small vending machine with drinks and snacks, but they only take cash, or card payment with an app called breazy. There is a picnic area inside the garden under shade and many tables to sit so best to just bring your own drinks and snacks!

We had an absolutely lovely day here, it is well worth visiting these gardens. The plants are arranged in areas - terraces, cactuses etc which makes them interesting to look at. We were lucky with a beautiful blue sky to set the plants against, and going down to the lower paths you get glorious view of the deep blue Mediterranean sea. Highly recommended.

I loved this place. Beautiful gardens overlooking a beautiful coastline. I'm a garden lover so I especially enjoyed the walks and the huge variety of plants. I spent about an hour and a half there. I arrived at around 11:00 and the place was very quiet which, for me, made it more enjoyable. You can drive right up to it and park there for free. The entrance fee was €10.
I would definitely recommend coming for a visit.
Lou — Google review
We arrived here in the heat of the day (what do they say about mad dogs and Englishmen!). The gardens also had their festival running which meant there were limited facilities there.
However, the gardens are very picturesque with views across the coastline providing a dramatic setting for the beautiful gardens. It's planted out really nicely with areas of shade which are welcome on a hot day. Castle is a really nice spot in the middle of the gardens although it was closed up because of the festival.
Staff were really helpful and friendly from the guy on the gate, to the taxi driver who shuttles you from the car park to the garden (2 minutes) and to the lady on the ticket desk.
Pretty easy walking although be aware it is built on the cliffs so there is quite a bit of up and down.
I'd recommend going when the festival isn't on as then you can stop somewhere for a drink and get a better feel for the place.

Beautiful botanical garden with interesting history. It’s a nice place for a walk and has beautiful terraces to have a view on the calas and the sea.
+definitely worth seeing
+beautiful, peaceful and green
+worth hiking
+there is a picnic spot in the shade
+has a very nice swimming spot nearby (not a part of the garden) Worth hiking there
-not a lot of information about the place, it’s history and plants. Worth looking in the internet before or during the visit.
-quite tricky navigation around the garden.
-no place to have food or drinks nether inside the garden nor nearby. There are some vending machines with water that don’t accept credit cards. So take some snacks or water in advance.

La Platgeta is one of the busiest beaches in Calella de Palafrugell, along with Port Pelegri, Canadell, and Golfet beach. It's a cozy and warm place that's perfect for spending lazy days by the sea. The beaches are ideal for families with children and snorkeling enthusiasts due to their clean and crystal-clear waters. La Platgeta offers a relaxed atmosphere where visitors can enjoy long lunches after exploring the beautiful coastal walks in Catalunya.

A great place have a long lazy lunch after walking one of the best cami de ronda (coastal walks) hikes in Catalunya. We can't recommend a specific restaurant here though. It's a tourist trap in the summer, so take your pick and good luck. We've had some shocking meals at exuberant prices over the last 20 years and have yet to find a good restaurant that constantly provides good service and good food. It really does depend on the waiter, the restaurant and the day. Normally, for a place like this, we'd pack a picnic, but the location is superb and if you luck out, it could be the best lunch of your life. Best to walk around and see which place blows your skirt up. What we can say is to avoid Can Gelpi....It's one of the most obvious places to eat as you walk into Calella, but we would suggest looking for a less touristy place to enjoy your lunch. A very rude owner.

Small beach with coarse, pebble-like sand. Beautiful water and adjacent scenery. Get here early, like 9am to get a spot close to the water. It stays busy all day. Oh, if you’re American, be aware folks (of all ages) are frequently sunbathing topless. That being said, no age restriction as we saw families with little toddlers up through older folks. At night, past 10pm, it seems like a favorite spot for teens to hang out with friends.

You have been discovering Costa Brava and finally you reached the crown jewel of Baix Emporda, this one the old songs talk about. No place for disappointment, Calella is spectacular, cosy to the extreme, perfect mix of an ancient fishermen village and a mediterranean bay.

Carrer de Francesc Estrabau, 3, 17210 Palafrugell, Girona, Spain
Turreted Gothic fortress & palace dating to the 11th century, flanked by viewpoints & rugged trails.
Excellent visit to enjoy a medival castle and the natural park!
The parking has sufficient space for many cars and it is located just about 3Km away from the castle. There are two ways up: the shorter one that is a bit more steep (15min to the castle) or the longer one that is a nice stroll on a wide path (aprox 30min walk), perfect for a family day excursion.
Once you arrive at the castle there is a cabin where you will find a guide. The price to get a guide is so minimal compared to the price to see the castle without one, that it was a no brainer for me. The visit takes well over an hour and you can stay as long as you want afterwards to see again all the areas. I would recommend to check the castle's website beforehand to see availability and to request a guide in another language if you need it (as most visits are done in Catalan). As a plus, the same entrance to the castle gives you free access to the museum 'La Gabella' in Arbucies (the town next door) where many objects encountered during the excavation of the castle are currently displayed.
Well worth the visit to both places: castle and museum; really enjoyable to see and learn.

Beautiful Castel in a hill, the treck to get there is easy but really nice and with stunning views ! Careful with the times to visit the Castle, on Google maps it was written until 5pm and it's actually 4pm, but it's with the guided tour.

Beautiful hike to the top from the free parking lot. €6 adults, pay in the gift shop at the castle entrance. Fantastic efforts in repairing and restoring the beautiful castle!!! Amazing views, wonderful history, excellent self-guided tour. Will do it again when we have visitors!!

We loved visiting this place with our guide! It’s a not so well known Gothic gem. Our guide was extremely passionate and engaging. I learned a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. Visits are in Spanish and Catalan only.

We couldn't get in as it was closed but the sorrounding is quite spectacular, well preserved, also the view is so wide. Very nice walk from the parking lot, the forest is cute.
Sergio Montesinos — Google review
While the castle with the exposed place at the hill gives you a marvellous vista around, the visit and check for opening times might be quite adventerous. There are different information from the website and the on-site information about opening times; unfortunately it was closed when we arrived there. But due to the reforms currently undertaken I suppose that major parts would be closed anyway.

Camí del Castell de Montsoriu, 17401 Arbúcies, Girona, Spain
Girona offers a plethora of activities, but some of the most cherished experiences include savoring wine while basking in the sun, taking in the picturesque views from the unique bridges that span the Onyar River, and indulging in delectable tapas. Consider renting a car to explore the charming nearby towns and Costa Brava coastline.
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.

Rio Onyar is a beautiful bridge area in Girona, a small town near Barcelona. This town is so quaint and pretty. I highly recommend a visit here if you have time. The place isn’t packed with people and tourists so it’s a nice place to walk around and see beautiful architecture.

Love the view of the houses with their different colors by the canal. It reminds me on "ponte vecchio" in florence.
Daniel Tüte — Google review
The houses on the banks of the Onyar River are unusual colorful bright houses in Girona. They were built in the XVII century on a basement left from the city wall destroyed by the French. In the following years, they were rebuilt several times, but retained their colorful appearance

(Translated by Google) A beautiful view emerges from the bridges over the Onyar river in Girona, reflecting the colorful houses lined up by the river. This reflection becomes much more beautiful with the sun rays in the evening. These houses, called Onyar houses, create a symbolic silhouette for Girona. This view is one of the must-stop stops of your Girona trip.

Girona'da Onyar nehri üzerindeki köprülerden, nehir kenarında sıralanmış rengarenk evlerin yansımasıyla çok güzel bir görüntü ortaya çıkıyor. Akşam üzeri güneş ışınları ile bu yansıma çok daha güzel bir hal alıyor. Onyar evleri diye geçen bu evler Girona için sembolik bir silüet oluşturuyor. Girona gezisinin olmazsa olmaz duraklarından biri bu manzara.

GI-541, km 10, 17403 Sant Hilari Sacalm, Girona, Spain
The Pont de les Peixateries Velles in Girona, also known as the Eiffel Bridge, is a distinctive footbridge over the Onyar River. It was constructed in 1877 by renowned French engineer Gustave Eiffel and his company using red iron-work lattice frames. The bridge is an important landmark of Catalan art and architecture gallery, Josep Bracons.
There's several bridges that can take you across the Onyar River between the old and new sides of Girona. Most of them are pretty standard, but this one is unique with its red lattice frame.
If you're crossing back and forth, you should at least make a point to take this footbridge at least once to check it out as well as views of the river.
Adrian M — Google review
Pont de les Peixateries Velles - A remarkable architectural wonder: the Eiffel Bridge in Girona, Spain with a great view at the colourful houses at the Riverside.
The Eiffel Bridge was constructed where four rivers meet. Girona has got eleven bridges!! The most famous is the one that was constructed by Gustave Eiffel - The Girona Steel Bridge (painted in Red) was built in 1876 by Gustav Eiffel, a French engineer with German roots.
Jens Jacobeit — Google review
A bridge designed by Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower in France. It had a similar steel structure and was very unique in that it did not fit in with its surroundings. It is a must see if you go to Girona.
M Pak — Google review
I don't know why people say this is a beautiful place worth visiting! This is just a metal bridge (for pedestrians), nothing more than that. Even though it was made by the guy who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris; guess because of that.
Duarte Junior — Google review
A very instagramable bridge, probably 2nd most visited place in Girona, just after the cathedral.

Curious of this bridge that famous french engineer,Gustave Eiffel made here in Girona before Eiffel Tower was built in Paris. It was beautiful at night when we visited. The design and color really did make an interesting instagrammable effect. People can check it out when in Girona:-)

Great views over Girona with it's beautiful multicoloured apartments stacked on top of each other like a medieval game of tetris, it's a backdrop nearly as beautiful as Venice and it captures the afternoon sunlight.

Absolutely loved visiting Girona, the town was clean and a beautiful place to visit.
We ate at one of the plaza restaurants and then had cookies from the Guilty Cookies.
The food and service at the restaurant were both absolutely incredible.
Girona's medieval walls are a fascinating remnant of the city's past, and offer walkers wonderful vantage points of the area. There are several entrances to the walled park, including an alley east of Girona Cathedral that leads into lush greenery. Nearby, you can climb up a spiral staircase inside Torre Gironella for an excellent lookout.
Las Muralles de Girona is a huge, beautiful place - definitely one of the highlights of the city. The inner gardens are very pleasant, specially to rest a bit during a hot summer day. I really recommend taking the whole waking route to get the best impression of the place.
Flavio Pimentel — Google review

A long wall connected to Girona Cathedral. It was a place where their efforts to protect the castle by shooting arrows could be seen. Once you set foot, it's too far to turn back. You arrive on the other side. However, it is worth it because the view is so beautiful. I recommend you go up there.
M Pak — Google review
Massive old walls that's a must-visit. You can walk on the ground alongside the wall to appreciate its size, then climb the stairs up the wall on either side then walk atop the wall from one end to the other, taking in the views of Girona as you go by. You'll most likely pass by others along the wall which isn't a problem, and there's some areas including towers you can stop by along the way.
Adrian M — Google review
For sure one of the highlights of the Girona. Amazing views and not too crowdy (except the northern part close to the Cathedral). There are also many towers which you can climb on for better views.

Along with the Cathedral, a must-visit in Girona! The views of the whole city and the mountains it's surrounded by are incredible. Also, it's free. The only minus is the smell, especially near the towers - it stinks of urine / feces there.
This museum tells the story of Judaism in Girona, Catalunya, through exhibits on religion and culture. There is also a gift shop where visitors can purchase items related to the Jewish community. The museum is proud of its Jewish heritage and does not shy away from less salubrious aspects of history such as Inquisition persecution and forced conversions.
Nearly all artifact explanations in three languages. Provided otherwise hard to find site based insight regarding the brief two centuries peace before the 1492-3 persecutions. Steep Geography of Surrounding neighborhoods compliment the depictions of daily 14th C living in exhibits.

An interesting museum to visit while in Girona. Use the audio guide to learn about the tragic history of the Jews in Girona and in Spain in general. The museum is laid out in different section so you can learn about the life of the Jewish community, traditions and ceremonies for many centuries ago.

I visited this Museo on 18/12/22. Weeks later I find myself still reflecting on it. I’ve been to similar museums but ultimately I found this one rather exceptional. 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!
M. Somlyai — Google review

Historical Jewish museum and Jewish quarters makes this place an interesting visit in Girona. Narrow alleys and mysterious turns make this place an unforgettable experience.
Girona Cathedral is a large, impressive building made of many different styles of architecture. It is one of the most famous and popular tourist destinations in the region. The cathedral has a wide Gothic nave that is larger than any other Gothic church in the world.
One of the most important cathedrals in Europe. a very interesting place that is worth the detour. Not to be missed, the carpet of creation. one of the most beautiful pieces of art you can see. Wonderful

Girona was originally on my plan, on my way to Barcelona to Marseille, I made a stop for lunch, and the quick lunch turned out to be a whole afternoon leisure. I stayed at the Cathedral of Girona for over 2.5 hours, appreciating its architecture wonder. It has the widest nave of 23 meters for any cathedral in the world. It also collected the tapestry of creation treasure, the 1000 year old tapestry was still having the brightest colors you could imagine, with the design and story behind the tapestry. It is truly a masterpiece collection! The cathedral was very quiet on a Monday afternoon, only less than a dozen people inside. I was a very pleasant surprise visit of the cathedral! 🙏🙏🙏Cheers!😃😃😃

This church in Girona is truly majestic and one of the main attractions for visitors. It is one of the best churches I have seen in Europe. The Cathedral of Girona is a thousand-year-old building famous for its historical significance and its appearances in film and television. The building is located at the highest point of the old city of Girona, known as the "Old Force," and is protected by a set of walls and ramparts. The Gothic nave, tower of Charlemagne, cloister, and sacristy remain from its Romanesque period in the mid-11th century.
Patrick Min — Google review
The ‘Catedral de Girona’ is one the most impressive architectural buildings in the whole region. The church lays imposing at the top of a beautiful, long staircase - the best spot for portrait pictures, of course. I recommend going early to avoid too much wait.
Flavio Pimentel — Google review
This Gothic Cathedral is certainly a sight to behold. Beyond its beauty, it is so rich in history, so be sure to pick up an audio guide on your way in. Entrance is 7 euros, which includes entrance to the basilica as well. The Cathedral has many beautiful and majestic pieces of tapestry draped over its walls, so take your time to enjoy that and the rest of the art displayed throughout the space. Definitely a must-visit during your stay in Girona.
Ivan Loh — Google review
WOW! This is the widest cathedral I have ever seen. It's the second widest in the world, after St. Peter's basilica in Vatican! Its dimensions hit you when you arrive in the square, it's enormously beautiful. The painted glass windows are exquisite, very well maintained. Take the audio guide, it's free and very informative.
Aurelia Ghenuche — Google review
Stunning cathedral, really glad I decided to go in! (versus only taking a photo of the famous steps) It's the tallest cathedral nave in Europe and has amazing stained glass.The audio guide is great and included with ticket entry. They also do student discount. Come in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, as the coach tours have gone home in the afternoon and there's several cafes still open in Girona at that time.
Laura FF — Google review
Visiting the Girona Cathedral is a must if you're in Girona. I visited other great churches and cathedrals throughout my travels, but for some reason, this one took my breath away as soon as I walked through the door. It must be the sound of the organ playing, mixed with the dark setting and the overwhelming size of the interior. It's hard to describe. You have to see it for yourself!
JF Piché — Google review
One of the most important cathedrals in Europe, it is simply impressive. Being a fan of Game of Thrones, I had to visit it. It was a great experience to see it laying at the top of a gorgeous, long staircase. This is definitely a must-see place in Girona! I would love to come back soon, probably not in Temps of Flors due to the amount of people.

Went to Girona in November 2023 for a University Trip, was absolutely gorgeous and so quiet even though it was a Thursday! 100% recommend if you want a holiday without all the noisy tourists, a lot of steep hills and walking so if you’re a bit older or have a few kids probably not great but if you don’t mind the walking it’s a lovely area, plenty of shops and cafes further back in the towny area, this was about a 15-25 min walk from the shops and stuff but that area wasn’t horrifically crowded, pretty average I would say, so overall a lovely area and perfect for travels ^^

The cathedral is the jewel in the crown, the old town is steeped in history with it's many narrow streets and tall buildings but sitting high above them all is the magnificently built Cathedral, the entrance ticket is 7.50 euros as of November 2023, and it is worth paying just from the visual aspect, but will the tickets price you get an electronic guide that you hold up to your ear, thankfully these ones work really well and easy to use and the information is clear and short and very well explained, so give it a big thumbs up

Better come early as the entrance closes pretty early as well. However still good to see from outside especially during sunset. Gorgeous view. Need a bit of walking as the streets were really narrow.
Excavated ancient city overlooking the sea with a wharf, forum and thorough archaeological museum.
This is an incredible place with both green and Roman runs. The history is shared through the audio guide and makes you feel like you are entering the time of the Greeks. The mosaics in the Roman city are not to be missed.
Sara MacCracken — Google review
Brilliant Find overall. A bit tricky to find using GPS Or Google. Used road markings to reach the place.
Great spot, next to sea beach. Many people went to sea beach as well using the same parking as the site. 2 big parking available.
The site entry is 5 euros or so. Kids free. Free voice headsets. The explanations (voice guidance) is available in many languages. If you really want to know and learn and hear each set of voice message it will take you an hour or so just for greek part them similar for Roman part. A bit hard to do when it is too sunny as there is no shade once you enter the main site. One ice cream van at the entry ( inside).
Overall great place for history lovers.
Nand Nandan Jha — 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.

If you like to be in the ruins of an old city under a ruthless sun this is your place: you have the ruins of the greek city and the ruins of the roman city. It's a unique combo.

Incredie experience! We have been in Kayak for 2.5h and we were totally amazed! Our group (2 couples and Marc) were the only people in the lake and we managed to relax and enjoy this corner of paradise.
I would recommend not to go for the 1h tour as I'm afraid you won't get enough time to enjoy the experience. You won't get tired, it's not and intensive experience, you can do it even if you are not trained or fit.

(Translated by Google) At the end of August we were here to rent a pleasure boat for 1 hour. The person in charge had no reservations and came for us anyway, which says a lot in favor of the company. The price for one hour was €45 for 4 people.
Pedal boat that is perfectly worth spending 1 hour until you reach the bell tower of the swamp, if you are lucky and there is little water you can see the entire upper part. It is not easy to get there, because you have to go through Vilanova de Sau with its corresponding curves, but it is worth it.

A finales de agosto estuvimos aquí para alquilar una embarcación de recreo por 1 hora. El responsable no tenía ninguna reserva y se desplazó igualmente para nosotros, dice mucho a favor de la empresa. El precio por una hora fue de 45€ para 4 personas.
Embarcación a pedales que vale perfectamente para estar 1 horita hasta llegar al campanario del pantano, si tienes suerte y hay poca agua se ve toda la parte superior. No es fácil llegar, porque tienes que pasar por Vilanova de Sau con sus correspondientes curvas, pero vale la pena.

Terribly hot in all floors, even in a cloudy day and not so hot outside.
Musty smell in all rooms.
While we were there we were sprayed with a smelly product!
This terrible smells plus the heat left us with terrible headache!
All you will see is a few rooms with stamps, illustrations and clothes. NOT REALLY SUITABLE FOR KIDS.
“Experience what is like to be a circus artist” - a promise NOT delivered in any way…
Not even the Faquir is like the photo in the promotional leaflet…
This place could me amazing, IF HAVING any type of videos, interactions and other educational material.
ANSWERING TO CIRCUSLAND REPLY:
As you can see from my previous reviews, my kids are used to visit museums. Usually great experiences.
I did said at reception how many adults and kids we were. And we did pay all the entries, be careful with slander…
Since you mentioned: it’s an abuse to consider children only up to the age of 9 y.o. Children are widely considered up yo 12 y.o. Again, an evidence that you are not child friendly.
We followed other persons to the patio, which had door opened. I guess you will offend the other customers too.
If you had air conditioning, consider install new ones, because it was insanely hot! (Maybe that’s why the patio door was open …)
Please take feedback to improve, not to offend your customers. If your museum is more suitable for adults loving circus, which I can understand, please advertise accordingly.
You will see previous reviews, from other customers, aligned with what I have just written here. Continuous improvement is an art…

Interesting museum, but a bit disappointed. The knife throwing promised on the poster is not possible. There wasn't even a knife to just pretend and take a picture. There is a toilet that acts a little bit like an optical illusion, but my friends didn't experience the illusion.

Plaça del Prat de Sant Pere, 15, 17850 Besalú, Girona, Spain
This Romanesque bridge with arches & defense towers dates back to the Middle Ages.
It's truly Amazing, one of the best bridges I have seen, and it's amazing at night time also.
Ward Obedi — Google review
Such a nice medieval town and worth a visit if your in the area. The Roman bridge is the star of the show and makes the walk into town feel grand. The streets are cozy and lots of stalls and restaurants. There is a circus museum in town and also a circus event that start at 9pm which you can buy tickets from the circus museum office box but may only be a summer event.

Amazing iconic medieval bridge located in the beautiful town of Besalú. You can walk across the bridge and admire the stunning views of the river and the surrounding landscape. This is definitely an important landmark in the town and a great spot for photos. Very enjoyable and recommended.

Besalú is a small town in Catalonia, Spain. It is also widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. The medieval castles, churches, large residences and Jewish neighborhoods in the town are well preserved, and you can enjoy the beauty of medieval Spanish architecture while walking through them~
Catherine — Google review
It was a rainy day so there was ample parking but limited public restrooms at the entry where bus trips lined up to relieve themselves. Once across the bridge the little town is full of local vendors and it was also a holiday so only about 1/2 were open and very few cafes so I think we hit it in a poor day. Limited view but still intriguing history.

Not to be missed if you are in the area. Several nice viewing areas from different angles. The best parking is on the right side right before crossing the river, if headed towards the town of Bisalu. It’s a good size free parking lot right after the around about. Don’t try to find parking in the town, it’s very hard.

Certainly a monument to behold. Its wonderful to walk on history. Very evocative of medieval cliches (you transport yourself to those times without a lot of effort, you expect the taxman at the gate to ask you for some fee to allow your produce to go inside for selling, if you know what I mean).
However, overcrowded scene brings down the fantasy 2 notches. Signs of the times…

Besalú is a medieval town with a 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river.
The name Besalú is derived from the Latin Bisuldunum, meaning a fort on a mountain between two rivers.
The town's importance was greater in the early Middle Ages, as capital of the county of Besalú, whose territory at one point extended as far as Corbières, Aude, in France. Wilfred the Hairy, credited with the unification of Catalonia, was Count of Besalú.
Kent Wang — Google review
A very pleasant place, I recommend visiting it. There you can take many fabulous photos and dip yourself into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages with knights and ladies.

Do not miss the old medieval bridge if you are around Besalu. It is a wonderful piece of heritage beautifully inserted in the surrounding nature. The whole village itself is also a must see and definitely worth a visit.
Renato Santos — Google review
Besalù in Spain is a captivating medieval town, renowned for its striking Romanesque bridge that stretches across the Fluvià river. This historically rich town, a part of Catalonia, is a treasure trove of ancient architecture, including the remnants of a once-formidable fortress and a Jewish bathhouse dating back to the 12th century. The cobblestone streets, flanked by well-preserved medieval buildings, transport visitors back in time. Besalù is not only a feast for history enthusiasts but also offers delightful culinary experiences with its local Catalan cuisine. The town's compact size makes it perfect for leisurely exploration, promising an enchanting journey through a bygone era. A visit to Besalù is an unforgettable immersion into medieval splendor and cultural richness.

Carrer del Pont Vell, 17, 17850 Besalú, Girona, Spain
The Pont de Besalú is a medieval stone bridge that features arches, defense towers, two turreted gates and a heavy portcullis. It was built during the Middle Ages and first recorded in 1075. The structure has undergone periodic modifications to bolster its defensive capabilities over time. Though it suffered damage during the Spanish Civil War in 1939, it was repaired soon after and remains an exquisite pale sandstone bridge today.
Amazing, must visit Medieval town! Cozy little lanes, medieval structures makes you feel like being in old times! Many cafes, souvenir shops, and mesmerizing view. Just 9km from the Castellfollit de la Roca so one can cover bothe places within half day.

Château de Gruissan offers a must-do climb for breathtaking 360-degree views of the town, including the salt pans, lakes, stilt houses, port and marinas, hills, and the Mediterranean Sea. Sensible footwear is essential due to rocky and uneven steps. The tower itself is in ruins but provides an insight into the area's history through information boards in French and English.
Good view to see the nearby area from the top but make sure you have good shoes to walk up the steps plus stoned path...some parts a quite narrow just need to be caution as can be slippery if its wet weather!

A must do climb for amazing 360° view of Gruissan. You can see the salt pans, lakes, stilt houses, port and marinas and hills surrounding as well as the city and Mediterranean Sea. Sensible footwear is important and not really suitable for people with mobility issues as lots of rocky uneven steps. The tower is in ruins and you can see some other areas, but its mostly rocky outcrop. Information boards of the history in French and English. Their is some shaded area to sit and rest and a lower walk around the base.
Sheila Brooks — Google review
The tower is a "Must-see" in Gruissan, just for the great views out over the town. The climb up to the tower is slippery, so it would be bad to go on a damp day. Hold on to the railing! there is also a nice trail that goes all the way around the base of the rock.

The Les Halles de Narbonne food hall is a beautiful place to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses and patisseries. There's also a huge range of different home made cassoulets in glass jars and tins. It can be busy so be prepared to queue, but it's definitely worth it!
A massive food hall where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, patisserie, meat and seafood. There was also a huge range of different home made cassoulet in glass jars and tins. It doesnt look very appealing but you must try a cassoulet when in Narbonne or the surrounding areas, they are very yummy! We went Sunday morning at 10am and it was quite busy already. There was a parking area directly outside but we parked down the road a but where there was ample street parking. There were public toilets out the les halles.

I have visited Markets all over the world, and this one in Narbonne is as good as any I have found. In a historic Market building it has everything you might need from seafood to exotic spices and anything to fill your grocery basket. As well there are stalls where you can get a drink and lunch. It is at times crowded, and when we visited there were no COVID restriction in place or masks being worn.

A beautiful building to house the indoor market. The market was mainly food stalls and bars to have coffee, alcohol and lunch. We were hoping to find non food stalls too.

Tourist. 1st time. Absolutely stunning market in an old historic building in downtown Narbonne.
We came with our French friends. They said this is a “very French” place to go.
Visit during the week when it is not as busy. You can barely walk during the weekends but well worth the visit.
You can buy anything here: food, drink, bar, gifts, soap, whole bean coffee, bread.
The vegetables are the biggest I have ever seen and smell so good. So many kinds of Mediterranean fish. Meat butcher shop.
So many olives and tapenade. Nuts.
We bought soap gift sets for 5 euros to take home.

Great traditional market with food stalls for veg, butchers, bakers, sausage makers, fishmongers, etc. In summer, the little sardines are caught right off the coast in Gruissan and sold right here! Also has little lunch spots with stools serving great local specialties, and a places with prepared food like roasted chickens or cassoulet that you can take home (or to your Airbnb!) Bring cash as most vendors prefer it

Bustling but great covered market that offers a wide variety of local products. It is a great place to see and sample some of the region's delicious food and wine. During my visit, the market was very busy and full of energy. There was even live music, which I thought was a great touch. The vendors were friendly and helpful. This market is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Halles centrales de Narbonne Boulevard docteur Ferroul, 1 Cr Mirabeau, 11100 Narbonne, France
The Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur Cathedral in Narbonne, France was constructed between 1272 and 1340, but was never fully completed. It boasts a transept and a lofty choir that stands at 40 meters high. The cathedral is one of the tallest buildings in France and dominates Narbonne's old district.
Been coming to Narbonne for over 10 years and this was my first visit to the Cathedral. How beautiful and a credit to all those that are responsible for its upkeep.
Thank you.

Cathédrale Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur is a beautiful cathedral with breathtaking stained glass windows, elegant chandeliers, intricate tapestries, and captivating paintings. The stone-sculpted chapel and massive organ add to its grandeur. Entry is free, making it a must-visit attraction in Narbonne. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this magnificent cathedral if you're in the area.

Wow, don't miss this on your visit it's Even worth a dedicated visit if you love old style architecture it dates from the 12 century a top tip is there are two sides to the main building visit the derelict ruins first then the main area afterwards, and when inside don't miss all the other areas in the cathedral.
Steve Clark — Google review
This is one of the fascinating buildings, either incomplete (as in this case), or in ruins, that demonstrate, better than a completed edifice, the original plan of the builders. Here we have a complete choir with chapels containing a selection of works of art. Do not miss the cloister with its bizarre selection of gargoyles and pinnacles.

While waiting for our train in Narbonne we decided to walk around and take a visit to the cathedral - we are so glad we did. There is so much history here and it is so grand for its age and location.

(Translated by Google) Price much too expensive when you compare..... To flee....!!!! After Nocibe's intervention, I went there to buy an eau de toilette. What is not specified in their answer is that the price alignment is only done in relation to their site and not in relation to the competition, this is how there is still despite a reduction in 49 €, another 20 € more than my usual site which is a French site and which has existed for more than 10 years. So thank you for everything.

Les 9 Écluses de Fonseranes is a popular tourist destination that features a series of canal locks consisting of 9 flights. Visitors can witness the fascinating operation of the locks and enjoy stunning views of Beziers. The location also boasts an interactive cinema and restaurant at its visitor center. While there may be little shade, it offers an interesting experience for children with great toilets and a store available on site. A short walk away lies a water bridge, similar to those in photos.
Wonderful place to visit, kept very clean. You can picnic and there are boat rides and the little train comes too. Restaurant/bar at the top of the hill.
(7 of the 9 original locks remain functional).

We took our Dutch barge through on our own with no other boats and what an experience ! After coming down the mighty Rhône…and through the Étang in quite windy weather, this was absolutely the highlight of the journey. It was amazing. Lauren the lock keeper was so helpful with information. All in all it was an unforgettable moment to pass through these locks of historical engineering built by men and women hundreds of years ago. Allows boats to be raised 21.5m (71ft) over a distance of 300m (980ft).

What a great experience, we had to wait 3 and a half hours to get up because there were so many boats coming down but we had a nice walk around.
The Cathédrale Saint-Nazaire is a stunning 13th-century Roman Catholic church located on the site of a previous structure. It offers breathtaking panoramic views from its entrance, where visitors can find an employee offering tours (though not affiliated with the church). While the surrounding businesses and area may be somewhat quiet and in need of renovation, the cathedral itself provides incredible vistas of Languedoc from its high vantage point. Inside, one will find impressive architecture and decor.
A beautiful cathedral. It is even possible to climb the bell tower for free.
Worth a visit!

Beautiful cathedral with pretty panoramic views from the entrance. There's a table with an employee set up in the entrance to arrange tours, though not linked with the church, which I found kind of surprising, as I was seeking for info from the church. The surrounding businesses and area are fine for service, though it's a kind a sleepy and rundown town.

Expect amazing views of Languedoc from Cathedral Saint-Nazaire’s perch. You can see parts of the Massif Centrale, surrounding countryside, and the River Orb. The inside of the cathedral is impressive of course. Perfect for catching the sunset. Nearby are several cafes and restaurants.

Very impressive old cathedral. High ceilings and impressive glass art work. Inside you can have some guide explaining all the art and history of the building. Outside there are some great views of the city and mountains

A beautiful quiet and serene place full of history and a thousand years of continuous religious worship bearing down on you - but in a way that is uplifting. A 'must' visit! Thanks to the lady who greeted us and made our visit so enjoyable.

Beautiful cathedral, really worth visiting. Don’t miss out the stunning view overlooking the city and surroundings from the tower, just 168 steps up!

A beautiful building inside and out. It is a must visit when coming to Beziers. Free entry though an offering of a donation is asked for but not mandatory. The views from the bell tower are amazing but note there are 168 steps to get to here and they are very narrow so be aware. Free to go up to the top.

It Is a very beautiful church with astonishing Architecture and good descriptions of the meaning behind it inside. It is viewable from most of the city and adds to the Character nicely.
It is possible to go upstairs to the Tower of the Church which would have made our visit perfect but sadly this wasn't possible at the time of our Visit.
Anyways still a must if you visit Béziers.

Lovely Catholic cathedral in Carcassonne. Excellent stained glass windows and religious iconography. The only downside is that, as with the rest of Carcassonne, it can get very crowded with tourists and guided tours. If at all possible try to visit early in the day before the crowds get there.

So happy that they make all of the Cathedral (including the tower and cloisters) open to the public at no charge. The staff in the information booth are very nice and did their best to answer our questions. The view from the tower balcony is wonderful, in all directions. In such a small city, the altar and stained glass were exceptional. A "must see" sight in Béziers. We're going back on Sunday to hear the 17th century organ.
