The Passeig de la Muralla ,the medieval city wall, is spectacular. You can walk along the old city and see most of all of Girona's historic center. There are plenty of towers where you can climb up to the top for a closer view. Also there are spots where other areas of the historic city are accessible. You will also walk past many of the interesting gardens that are kept safe within the walls. These are great places to checkout the medieval gardens and layered quarters.
