Onyar River (Riu Onyar)

One of four rivers that converge in Girona, Catalonia, the Onyar River (Riu Onyar) carves a path through the heart of the city, creating its most iconic view. The narrow waterway is flanked by rows of houses painted in vibrant hues, forming a striking contrast against the river’s gentle flow. This natural divide separates the medieval old town on the right bank from a more modern area on the left, home to some of the city’s top restaurants and museums. Visitors can stroll along the riverbanks, taking in the colorful facades and enjoying the blend of historic and contemporary Girona.
