Sightseeing tours are top-rated in any city in the world. Especially when it comes to excursions by bus or tourist train: it's a real adventure for children, and not as tiring. Girona also offers a similar excursion.
Why is it always recommended for families on holiday in Spain with children? That's easy; it's a very original way of doing things. You and your child don't need to get on a stuffy bus to watch the city panorama float by behind its windows. That's because Girona has its tren turistico, a little train with carriages. Hop on to one of the trains, and it will take 35 minutes to get around the most exciting parts of the city!
This unusual Girona tourist train, a favourite of all children, started running around the village in 1995. Since then, many travellers from all over the world have taken advantage of this original route. And most of them are kids of all ages.
One of the most interesting points on the green train route is the bridges over the Onyar River. Even though cars are not allowed to stop there, the train makes several stops so visitors with children can enjoy the panoramic views of the city and have their pictures taken. Taking the Green Train through the old part of the city will allow you to get to know the main attractions of Girona while saving a lot of time and money.
If your child is old enough, you will enjoy the excitement of the night journey that takes 2 hours. You'll go to the highest part of the city and visit the ancient castle of Montjuïc, where the traveller will find plenty to see and do.
