Where to stay in Girona

Girona's municipal markets sit close to the old town, so a central base within walking distance helps on a morning when the halls open around 7am. Try the Hotel Llegendes de Girona Catedral for a central base with plenty of character, or Hotel Historic if you'd rather be inside the old town walls. If you prefer something more modern, the area around the train station, Eixample, has solid options at various price points and keeps you well connected to the rest of the city.
