6. Explore the University of Girona Whilst exploring the old town of Girona, definitely check out Universitat de Girona. This is where both my friends go to university, and of course (from an outsider's perspective) I couldn't believe how lucky they are to study in such a picturesque place!!! (I think they feel differently as you don't appreciate the architecture as much when your head's in a book in the library). There's a gorgeous courtyard here that's worth a wander through.
