4. tourism
Girona's old town also saw an increase in tourists because it was a filming location for the drama Game of Thrones. Although demand decreased after the Game of Thrones Season 8 flopped and the fandom was destroyed, even as of 2024, Game of Thrones filming course tours are still actively taking place.
Girona's old town is directly connected to Barcelona by rail and is relatively easy to access, but Girona's beach tourist destinations, Lloret del Mar and Torre del Mar, are not connected by rail, so you have no choice but to take an express bus. As of 2017, buses are regularly late by about an hour, and there are more thieves at bus terminals than at train stations, so it is best to be careful when using them. Unlike the beaches of Barcelona or the beaches of Sitges in the south, it is rare to see topless people tanning at Lloret del Mar Beach , but many people take pictures of the beach due to the beautiful scenery surrounding it.
