You can easily get there on foot from the center or by bus; check the official website or call +34 972 26 00 51 for the latest confirmation.
A visit to the Olot Tourist Office is completely free, as it is a tourist information point. You would only pay for additional services such as detailed maps if you request them, but basic assistance is free of charge.
It is recommended to allow between 30 and 60 minutes to get information, maps, and personalized advice. If you are planning specific routes around La Garrotxa, it could take a little longer.
Olot Tourism is the central hub for discovering the rich history of Olot, the birthplace of volcanism in Spain and home to the Olot School, known for 19th-century religious sculpture. It serves as a gateway to the volcanic and Modernist culture of La Garrotxa.
The best time is during spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) to enjoy mild weather and fewer crowds; avoid July and August because of the heat. Go early in the morning to avoid lines and keep the rest of the day free for exploring.
