Girona in August
Not the best time
August offers guaranteed sunshine but tests your patience with crowds and heat. The upside? Long, warm evenings perfect for exploring Game of Thrones filming locations when the light is golden.
Weather
August matches July's intensity with 30°C days and 20°C nights. This is the driest month with barely any rain. The heat can feel overwhelming during midday, especially when exploring stone streets that radiate warmth back at you.

All Months
May through June gives you perfect weather and spring energy without summer crowds. The Temps de Flors festival in May transforms courtyards into flower exhibitions — the city opens private spaces normally closed to visitors. September and October deliver warm days, cool nights, and harvest season in nearby wine regions. Summer means heat and tour groups following Game of Thrones routes. July temperatures hit 30°C regularly, and good luck finding shade in those stone streets. Winter works if you don't mind shorter days and occasional rain. December brings Christmas markets to Plaça de la Catedral, but many restaurants close for holidays. April can be unpredictable — pack layers. The shoulder seasons give you the best restaurant availability and hotel rates.
