About This Guide

Girona's New Year's Eve is local and low-key. The city council marks midnight with the cathedral bells and a parade led by the Girona Marxing Band through the old town. Many people celebrate at home or in restaurants.

Where to see in the New Year

  • Campanades de Cap d'Any (midnight bells) and parade — Plaça de la Catedral and Plaça dels Apòstols. 31 December, from 11:59 pm, with the parade at about 12:05 am (2024 programme).
  • Cursa Sant Silvestre (New Year's Eve run) — Pavelló Municipal Girona-Fontajau. 31 December, mini races from 5 pm and the adult race at 6 pm (2024 edition).

Dates and times change from year to year, so check the organiser's listing before you travel.

Where to stay

  • Barri Vell: The cathedral square is where the midnight bells are rung, and the old town is walkable at night.
  • Mercadal: A short walk from both the old town and many restaurants offering set-menu dinners.

How we picked: these are 4- and 5-star hotels in Girona rated 8 or higher by Booking.com guests, listed closest to the centre first so you can walk back after midnight. Checked in October 2026.
