Staying in Eixample, Girona
Eixample (the Catalan word for 'extension') is the 19th- and 20th-century expansion district that spreads west and south of Girona's ancient walled city. Unlike the atmospheric stone lanes of the Barri Vell, Eixample has wide boulevards, pavement cafes, independent shops and a relaxed, residential character that gives you a feel for everyday life in the city. The area sits within easy walking distance of the old town, typically ten to fifteen minutes on foot, and it wraps around the main rail and bus hub, which makes arrivals and day trips to Barcelona or the Costa Brava coast straightforward.
The neighbourhood appeals to a broad mix of travellers. Those who find the old town's narrow streets and hillside setting impractical will appreciate Eixample's flat, navigable layout. Business travellers benefit from proximity to Girona's commercial centre, while leisure visitors enjoy the concentration of restaurants and bars along streets such as Carrer de Santa Eugènia and the Rambla de la Llibertat nearby. Hotels here range from budget-friendly one-star options to well-equipped four-star properties, so finding a room that matches both your comfort level and your budget is rarely difficult.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Eixample from Girona's old town and main sights?+
Eixample borders the historic centre directly, and most hotels in the district are within a ten to fifteen minute walk of the Cathedral, the Arab Baths and the colourful houses along the Onyar river. The flat terrain between the two areas makes the walk comfortable even with luggage.
Which hotels in Eixample offer the best value for money?+
Hotel BestPrice Girona (1 star, from 89 €/night, rated 4.5/5) and BYPILLOW The Bloom (1 star, from 92 €/night, rated 4.2/5) stand out at the budget end. For a mid-range option, Hotel Ultonia (3 stars, from 94 €/night, rated 4.3/5) offers solid comfort, while Hotel Gran Ultonia (4 stars, from 114 €/night, rated 4.6/5) is the highest-rated property in the area.
Is Eixample well connected by public transport?+
Yes. Girona train station sits on the edge of Eixample, giving direct rail connections to Barcelona (roughly 40 minutes by high-speed train) and to the coast. City buses also cross the district, and the compact size of Girona means that cycling and walking are realistic alternatives for most journeys within town.
Who is Eixample best suited to as a base in Girona?+
Eixample works well for business travellers who need quick access to transport and the city centre, for couples who prefer a lively local neighbourhood over a purely tourist setting, and for families who appreciate flat streets and a wider choice of supermarkets and everyday amenities. It is less suited to visitors whose sole priority is being surrounded by medieval architecture around the clock.
