[2025 Girona Attraction] Travel Guide for Eiffel Bridge (Pont de les Peixateries Velles) (Updated Mar)

#bucketlistreboot The Eiffel bridge was constructed where the four rivers meet. It was laid over the Onyar river in 1877 to facilitate local access from historic centre to the town market. Girona has eleven bridges, the most famous is the one that was constructed by Gustave Eiffel, a red color bridge that will not miss it, just before the construction of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

This year’s Girona Flower Festival was a bit disappointing The Flowering Season exhibition takes place every year in Barri Vell, Girona, and in the days leading up to the exhibition the city is filled with plants and flowers. This floral display turns various attractions, courtyards and even corners of the city into unique gardens. Visitors feel like they are in a concert of wonderful colorful aromas, while at the same time admiring the cultural heritage of this Catalan city. This small town less than half an hour away from Barcelona (high-speed train) is the filming location for "Perfume" and "Game of Thrones". What makes me happiest is that starting from the second week of May every year, the old town (Barri Vell) is filled with flowers, and the whole city turns into a huge garden. After leaving Girona train station, walk northeast and cross the Pont de pedra bridge. Walking north along the Girona Ramblas de Libertad, you will see the famous red iron bridge Pont de les Peixateries Velles. After crossing the bridge you can see the Cathedral of Girona. You can start exploring the old town with the Cathedral of Girona as the starting point and landmark. Nearby alleys and historic buildings feature courtyards decorated with flowers and plants. During the Flower Festival, in addition to the steps in front of the Girona Cathedral being covered with flowers, the courtyard inside the Cathedral is highly recommended. In addition, the path behind the church is very historical. This festival has a history of more than 60 years. It started with some young entrepreneurs in 1954, held in some halls of the city hall, and has now become an international flower festival. It attracts hundreds of traveling placers from all over the world each year. Flowers and roses in Girona cover the entire streets, along with the city lights and fountains, adding more beautiful colors to this festival. It's a pity that the flowers in recent years seem to have lacked some of the bright colors that attract people's eyes. Most of the flower baskets are mainly white, including the flower carpet in front of the main church. There are also white flowers, and they are sparse. , lost the shock of previous years. Girona

#European travel “Girona”, a popular tourist destination near Barcelona This area, also called Girona, is also famous as a filming location for Hyun Bin’s movies. It’s about an hour away from Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia by Renfe train. The name of the area is Girona! It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on the type of train. The price was 22.50 euros round trip (as of November 2023). It’s a small town, so you can walk around it all in one day without needing a transportation pass. I think I walked around here and there to feel the quiet feeling. The 1st to 6th photos were taken at the famous Eiffel Bridge! It’s really pretty, so be sure to walk across the bridge. 📍 Pont de les Peixateries Velles Location: Carrer del Riu Onyar, 17004 Girona, Spain
