Tarragona to Girona Route Overview

This route links southern and northern Catalonia without crossing central Barcelona by road, using the high-speed line through Camp de Tarragona, Barcelona Sants, and Girona. A key planning point is station choice: Camp de Tarragona handles most high-speed departures but sits outside the city, while Tarragona city station is closer to the waterfront and Roman sites but often needs a connection. Spanish high-speed trains normally require a reserved seat, so passengers travel on the specific departure printed on the ticket rather than boarding any train. The Girona approach uses the high-speed tunnel and underground platforms near the city center, putting the old town within a short taxi, bus, or walk from the station.

Available Ticket Classes

Renfe AVE services on the Tarragona to Girona corridor generally sell tickets under Basico, Elige, Elige Confort, and Premium fare families where available. Basico is the lowest-price option with more restrictive exchange and refund rules. Elige adds more change flexibility, while Elige Confort uses wider Confort seating when offered on the trainset. Premium includes the highest flexibility and, on selected AVE services, additional onboard benefits. Avant services are designed for medium-distance high-speed travel and usually offer Standard seating with reserved places rather than the full AVE fare-family structure.

Rating

The Tarragona to Girona train is strongest for city-region travel because it avoids airport transfers and uses Girona station near the old town. Buses between the two cities usually run via Barcelona or Barcelona Airport and take longer than direct high-speed rail. Flying is not practical for this city pair because there is no useful direct air link between Tarragona and Girona, and airport access would exceed the train time. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than making the same trip by car or air through Barcelona.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
