Barcelona to Girona Route Overview

The Barcelona to Girona rail corridor is unusual because travelers can choose between fast trains on the Barcelona-Figueres high-speed line and slower regional trains that serve more Catalan towns. High-speed trains run through the long urban approach at Barcelona Sants before heading north toward Girona, while regional trains may call at stations such as Granollers Centre, Sant Celoni, and Macanet-Massanes. Seat reservations are compulsory on AVE and Avant services, while regional trains normally operate with open seating and no assigned seat. The route is useful for day trips because Girona station is within walking distance of the Old Quarter and the bridges over the Onyar River.

Available Ticket Classes

Barcelona to Girona high-speed services use Renfe AVE and Avant trainsets. AVE tickets may be sold under Renfe fare families such as Basico, Elige, Elige Confort, and Premium, with seating and change conditions depending on the selected fare. Avant trains normally offer Turista class with reserved seating and are designed for shorter high-speed regional trips in Catalonia. Regional Media Distancia and Rodalies services generally provide standard class seating without assigned seats.

Barcelona to Girona Map

The Barcelona to Girona route runs north from Barcelona Sants toward the Valles and Girona province. High-speed AVE and Avant services use the Barcelona-Figueres high-speed line and may continue to Figueres Vilafant. Regional trains use the classic line through stations such as Granollers Centre, Sant Celoni, and Macanet-Massanes. The approach to Girona runs west of the Old Quarter, with the station close to the Onyar River bridges.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The train links Barcelona Sants and Girona station directly, with the fastest high-speed services taking about 38 minutes from city to city. Buses from Barcelona Nord or the airport to Girona usually take about 1 hour 30 minutes or more, depending on traffic and the exact stop. Flying is not practical for Barcelona to Girona because the cities are only about 100 km apart and there is no useful city-pair air service. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than using a private car or airport-based routing for this short Catalan corridor.
