Exploring Girona with your pet
No need to leave your pet behind when visiting Girona. Pet-friendly hotels here often prepare a comfortable bed, treats and fresh water before you arrive, and front desk staff can usually point you toward nearby walking routes along the river or through the old quarter. Girona's compact, walkable streets and outdoor cafe culture tend to welcome dogs naturally. Book a pet-friendly hotel in Girona and the whole crew feels at home from day one.
Getting to Girona with a pet
Girona Costa Brava Airport (GRO) is the nearest airport to Girona's city centre, located about 10 kilometres away.
Airlines typically set many of the rules for travelling with animals. Weight restrictions, carrier size and whether your pet can sit in the cabin can all vary. Get all the answers before you book your flight and pet-friendly hotel in Girona.
Entry rules also matter. The permits and paperwork for your pet to enter Girona differ depending on your departure point.
Taxis and public transport don't always follow the same set policy. Some require leashes or carriers, while others might not take pets at all. A little planning can make getting to the city centre from the airport much smoother.
Book in advance
The 'Pets allowed' filter under amenities makes it easy to find hotels that allow pets in Girona. Availability can be tight, especially for large dogs, since these rooms often fill up first. The sooner you book, the more choice and better value you'll get.
...Or score a last-minute pet-friendly stay
Last-minute deals often appear when hotels have empty rooms to fill, especially during the quieter months. If your schedule allows for spontaneity, this approach can work well. And the more pet-friendly hotels there are to choose from, the easier it is to find one.
Flexible dates can unlock better prices
Even small changes to your travel dates can bring the cost down. Compare weekend and weekday rates, and avoid major events where you can. It also pays to travel outside of school breaks. This matters even more with a pet, as cheap pet-friendly hotels in Girona can fill up faster than standard rooms.
Things to know before staying in a pet-friendly hotel in Girona
Before you book, remember that pet rules can vary between hotels. You could face a surcharge, a size cap, or restrictions on which animals are allowed to stay. Going over the details early keeps check-in easier. Here's a quick overview.
Typical pet fees and deposits
Some hotels that allow pets in Girona charge a fee for each night your pet stays, while others bill a single flat rate for the entire trip. What's more, you might see a one-off cleaning charge or a deposit that's refunded when you leave. It's a good idea to confirm the full cost before booking.
Check size and breed restrictions
Many hotels place limits on size. Some only accept small dogs, while others have a maximum weight. There can also be a limit on how many pets you can bring.
Size isn't the only factor. Some hotels restrict certain dog breeds, even if they take pets. Cats aren't always covered by the same rules, so dog-friendly doesn't always mean cat-friendly.
Hotels usually treat service animals differently from pets, with their own set of rules. If that's your situation, check with the hotel directly for more details.
Look for pet-friendly amenities
Allowing your pet to stay is just the beginning for the best pet-friendly hotels in Girona. A few include a dog bed, food and water bowls, or a welcome treat in the room.
Others offer services that'll make your trip easier. Pet sitting can give you some time away from your pet, while some hotels arrange grooming on site.
A trip is even more enjoyable for your dog when there's somewhere nearby to stretch their legs. Looking for hotels with pets allowed in Girona on the map view shows you where the nearest green spaces are.
Understand local pet rules
Pet rules can vary quite a bit from place to place. Local leash laws, restaurant policies, and pet access on transport might differ across Girona. It's worth checking what applies at the places you plan to visit before you venture out.
