Transport in Girona
Girona is small so it's easy to get around. There's no metro or tram, just bus services. You can use the city's bike rental scheme Girocleta to cycle, or you can see the city just by walking.
Parking
Car parks are typically underground. Free parking is available near Parc del Migdia (where?) and the roundabout near La Devesa (between the rivers).
Buses
- Girona has 10 local bus routes.[1] City buses are generally on time, with minor delays of a few minutes. You can pay with cash or by tapping your bank card.
