Weekend Trip from London to Girona: Your Budget-Friendly Escape
Girona · Photo by Hotellook Weekend Trip from London to Girona: Your Budget-Friendly Escape Wizz Air flies London to Girona for £35-£45 one-way if booked 21 days ahead, making this medieval Catalan city the perfect 48-hour escape. Last April, I caught a 7:15 AM flight, arrived by 9:30 AM, and had the entire Girona Old Town to myself before the tour groups arrived. The key? Booking early and skipping the Barcelona detour. How Much Does It Cost? For a weekend (Fri night to Sun night), budget £150-£220 excluding flights: £35-£45 for Wizz Air, £85-£120/night for a hotel, and €10-€15 for a train from Barcelona (if you fly into Barcelona instead of Girona). The R2 Nord train from Barcelona Sants to Girona takes 45 minutes and costs €4.50.
