Magnificent! Great story to the bridge itself, and lovely souvenir shops after crossing. You can easily go down to walk along the Fluviá River too.

The bridge is everything the internet says it is. While it may not be worth going so far just for the bridge, once combined with a day trip from Girona to Cadaques incl Figueres (and Castellfollit if possiblethen its a wonderful place. Takes just 30 mins to see the small area that Besalu is but quaint, with huge fish in the river below and throw in a gelato to make it complete.

Enjoyed the circus museum very interesting. A lovely place but needs signs giving directions back to coach park as lots of little side streets.

Nice view for the family. Small Town, located in Catalunia, Geronde easy to do by foot. A little bit challenging with a troller, but doable. You will find a lot a souvenir shops with small budget items 👍The lovely view really give you that medieval town vibe. The bridge has been up since the XII century !

A lovely ancient town with the most amazing bridge, some very nice shops and cafes and a little land train that takes you around the most interesting areas, the only down side was the commentary was only in French.Well worth a visit.

Medieval city of Besalu also known as the city of chairs. Lots of history and cobbled streets make this a charming place to visit.

Such a nice medieval town and worth a visit if your in the area. The Roman bridge is the star of the show and makes the walk into town feel grand. The streets are cozy and lots of stalls and restaurants. There is a circus museum in town and also a circus event that start at 9pm which you can buy tickets from the circus museum office box but may only be a summer event.

Magical town to walk around for a few hours. Train ride is €6 and not really worth it. It’s much better to walk around instead. Public toilets are near the tourist information desk but close early at 6.30pm and even earlier on holidays 3.30pm.

We strolled across and then below the bridge this beautiful bridge on a cloudy autumn day. The ducks were swimming by, used to the people, and the yellow flowers were especially vibrant against the darkening sky. Only drawback was at the area where we reached the lower part by the water smelles rather foul, like sewage. We joked that thus time, its good you cant smell your photos!

Gorgeous location. A few restaurants before you cross the bridge and I noticed one after you cross. Going down the stairs towards the water is a nice scene as well. Picturesque. Quaint town. Close to Girona.

On our ramble southwards towards Barcelona we planned to stay overnight on an area autocaravanes at Besalu. We discovered that this place was the medieval centre of Catalonia and was now a very pretty touristic place to stay. In fact we stayed over for a second night and was treated to the locals having their own entertainment in the streets on the Sunday with music, food and street entertainment. Well worth a visit.

Great experience soaking up old-world charm, visiting shops and eateries. This location had settlers dating from the 1st century A.D. Town and bridge are straight out of Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett!!

Picturesque old Roman bridge in the town of Besalú. We had a great time walking around town and exploring the stoned streets. There is a river passing by the town and places where you can rest and have a pic nic. This is a must visit if you are in Catalunya around Barcelona.

Cute middle aged town, really lived the fact that there were some souvenir shops selling middle aged toys and clothes as well, this contributes to the atmosphere.We were lucky enough to find ourselves a fair under the pont: ‘under bridge besalu’ which was worth the visit as well with the small foodtrucks.

Such a beautiful medieval town, many beautiful shops and delicious food here, not far from Barcelona or Girona. Theres a small museum in the center of the town exhibits some kind of microscopic carving works, personally I dont suggest you to get in. You can just walking on the small streets and feel the histories of Catalonia.
