Football Trips to Girona - Football Travel

Girona begins with stone lanes, river reflections and the smell of warm pastry, then climbs toward red-and-white noise at Estadi Montilivi. Our football trips to Girona bring flight, hotel and guaranteed match access together, backed by official partners and more than 50,000 travelers since 2008. This is a compact Catalan football trip with a club still writing its next chapter.

Girona’s story in motion

Girona were founded in 1930 and still feel far removed from Spain’s giant football brands. The club’s first promotion to LaLiga came on 4 June 2017 after a 0–0 draw with Real Zaragoza, a result that turned restraint into celebration. Then came the startling 2023–24 LaLiga third-place finish: 81 points, Champions League qualification and a season that made neutral fans look twice.

There has been a fall, too. Girona were relegated in 2026 and now fight to rise again in LaLiga Hypermotion. That is exactly why the trip feels alive. You are not stepping into a polished super-club script; you are catching heartbreak, glory and another climb in real time. Our football trips to Girona are built around that feeling.

1930 set the roots: a local club began its long, uneven road.
1970 brought the move to Montilivi, still the emotional home.
2017 changed the horizon with a first LaLiga promotion.
2023–24 delivered a third-place finish and Champions League qualification.
2026 reset the story, with LaLiga Hypermotion now demanding grit.

One result still glows: a 4–2 away league win on 10 December 2023 against Catalonia’s biggest football power, Girona’s first league victory in that fixture. It sent Girona top after 16 games and turned the phrase “I was there” into the perfect souvenir.

Old town before Montilivi

The day should begin slowly in Girona old town. Rambla de la Llibertat runs beside the River Onyar and grew from a 13th-century market area into one of the city’s most atmospheric strolls. Arches, balconies and café chatter set the rhythm before football takes over. Plaça de la Independència, built on the site of the old Sant Agustí convent, adds a busy porticoed square where the afternoon can stretch without effort.

Central Girona is the best place for early food and drinks, because the area around Estadi Montilivi is more residential. Look out for River Girona, Cu Cut and McKiernans as natural stops rather than boxes to tick. A xuixo in the morning, pa amb tomàquet before the game and ratafia after the final whistle give the weekend its Catalan flavour. For a sharper local edge, a regional edge under the lights adds extra bite to the itinerary.

Start near the Onyar, where the painted houses make the water feel part of the city.
Pause on the Rambla when the terraces begin filling and scarves start appearing.
Eat early in the centre, then let the climb toward Montilivi build the tension.

Montilivi up close

Estadi Montilivi stands at Avinguda de Montilivi, 141, and its size is the point. Opened in 1970, it now holds 14,624 spectators, with a 710-seat North Stand addition introduced for the 2023–24 season. The ground first welcomed football on 14 August 1970 against a visiting Catalan giant, with around 25,000 spectators present and Vivolas scoring Girona’s first goal there.

Evening light falls across roofless sections, red-and-white scarves lift, and the low seating pulls supporters close to the pitch. There is no sense of distance here; every clearance, shout and late attack feels nearby. We arrange your full package with our ticket guarantee, so your focus stays on the noise, not the logistics. Our Estadi Montilivi football trip places that compact intensity at the centre of the weekend.

Some fixtures make the venue feel even smaller. A Catalan pride fixture brings a special charge, while one of the season’s grand-visitor nights can turn this modest ground into a stage of huge contrast. In Montilivi, scale does not soften drama; it sharpens it.

The red-and-white build-up

The final hours before kick-off have their own pulse. La Prèvia amb Mas Sorrer, the official Gol Nord fan zone in the car park, opens two hours before the start. Expect music, family activities, local food trucks and sponsor activations, with supporters encouraged to arrive early, wear red and white, and help create a wall of sound for key games.

Near the stadium, A 1/2 Kmí at Avinguda de Montilivi, 35 is the standout stop for local football feeling. Promotion-race fixtures in LaLiga Hypermotion may offer the rawest emotion right now, because every point carries the weight of a comeback. A tense Saturday at Montilivi or late-season drama in red and white can feel like a chapter being written in front of you.

If you want noise, choose a fixture where the table matters and the crowd senses it early.
If you want local pride, the Catalan clashes bring sharper songs and quicker nerves.
If you want the full Montilivi feeling, arrive before the players do and watch the colours gather.

That is the beauty of a football trip here: Girona gives you a city break in miniature, then a ground where every seat feels close to the story. From the old town to the final whistle, we take care of the package so you can follow the red-and-white climb.
