Travel from Barcelona to Girona: Journey Details

Barcelona and Girona are only around 100 kilometers apart, so flying isn't really an option for anyone traveling in Spain. Instead, travelers can catch local buses or take a Renfe train service between the two Spanish cities. Catching the train is by far the fastest, most frequent and most convenient way to reach Girona from Barcelona.

Return trips from Girona to Barcelona are also available.
