Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Placa de la Independencia is a great place for various occasions - an outdoor meal, a stroll, photoshoots, a cool-down, and such. Having visited it on Monday, I would not consider it crowded. There was, in fact, quite a lot of space in the area, which made it comfortable and peaceful. I enjoyed it very much!

Beautiful area of the city, a lot of interesting architecture. There is a large selection of cafes and despite the abundance of tourists, you can safely find a place to sit.

This is a lovely square right near the river. Had a tasty cup of coffee and pastry on the square. Don't miss it .

Read about why they call it the independence place and enjoy the food and drinks in all the local bars in the sun. In the centre of the square stands a monument (1894) commemorating the 1809 defenders of the city of Girona. Read, drink, enjoy the sun, relax and move to the next monument.

They normally organized every kind of events related to food, drink or local products. Besides that, they have coffes and restaurants (not the best of the city but proper to eat)

It's a lovely place to East and do some serious people watching, but wasn't impressed with the variety of restaurants. We settled on a place and it was OK for a light dinner. The interesting thing came later in the night when we heard music (our apartment was across the river) and curiosity took us back to the square where a local band and dancers were performing what I assume was a traditional Catalan dance. It was quaint and it actually took the square back in time...I found Girona full of such lovely surprises.

A typical Spanish plaza which on Easter Saturday had a local brass band playing in the square to celebrate Easter and entertain the vast crowd.
It is hard to imagine what it looks like in normal everyday life but probably a great place to take a breather and enjoy some food.

The square, surrounded by restaurants, bar and gelato shops, is alive with people both local and from elsewhere enjoying themselves, the bus of excitement is best in the evening from 7pm until 1am.
Be warned most of the restaurants are fully booked and it is therefore essential to pre-book a table if you really find the restaurant you want, although there are numerous outlet just outside the square in case toucan't get in.
