Absolutely worth visiting! Massive ramparts , medieval castle , narrow streets with small shops and restaurants . Food is fantastic and locals very nice.

McCaffrey Dagmar

A lovely day visit, go later in the day or you will end up in a queue of people trying to get a move on in the main street... lovely sweet shops, but some cold restaurant service

Adam Kučera

Visiting in December is really good idea, because you miss the crowds. You don't need to pay anything to enter La Cité and the view from the outer walls is great, no need to pay fee to inner walls.

Geek heaven! Ignore the crowds of tourists ; it’s an actual mediaeval city !!! All your geek fantasies come true! The ultimate inspiration for your D&D game!🤓📚🏰🇫🇷

Cité is beautiful, but I think you can find in the South France more interesting places. Great place if you love middle age world.

Torzin S

Stunning fortification and beautiful both day and night

SV Ah Ma

Impressive old castle , inside the walls you will find not much more than bad food and souvenir shops.

Sofia Uz

Oh the castle ! Must see! Plan to stay until dark- illumination is beautiful

Yolanda Rodriguez

Beautiful and alive castle . Nice atmosphere

Adriana Carolina

If you want to sleep in the medieval town , don't go with wheel suitcase, unless the hotel has pickup service. I had my suitcase broken(stone floor) and there was no a place to fix it around the city .

Katie Farquhar

Lovely town for a short break - really enjoyed visiting the ramparts and old Cité.

Matt Crozier

Stay until after 5, when the tourist buses leave it's peaceful and much more atmospheric

The city Spirit.

Abraam Efthymiadis

Like you go 300 years back

Stijn

Lovely atmosphere.

Grazyna O

Totally overrated. Full of souvenir shops with products you find on every gas station in south of France . Extreme tourist trap.

Kevin Delquie

Hotel le donjon is really good !

Vadim Aladev

История этих мест начинается до нашей эры с первобытной стоянки на месте замка . Затем галлы, римляне, мавры, крестоносцы и еще куча разных эпох. Посетить обязательно.

Jo Luchty

Dieser Besuch ist ein Erlebnis mit bleibenden Erinnerungen. Ein Muss in Frankreich, auch wenn es voll ist.

Manuel de Santiago

Extraordinaria ciudad medieval, bien preservada gracias a Eugene Violet Le duc. Importante en la historia de los cátaros en el siglo XIII y además se puede pasear por el canal de Midi (siglo XVII).

Maria-Isabel Ampuero Poblete

Llegando a la entrada y contando una caminata tranquila , sin las visitas guiadas, toma al menos unas 2 a 3 horas p/recorrer. Restaurantes de época que sorprenden: buena atención y sabores especiales

Paulo Sérgio Freire

Lindíssima e perfeita cidade medieval . Dica se chegar tarde na cidade tipo depois das 22 horas existe ainda alguns restaurantes e lanchonetes abertos na parte histórica de Carcassone. Aproveite!

Christophe Fernandez

Même si c'est très touristique, la cité reste incontournable si vous passez par Carcassonne !

Jany Red

un endroit merveilleux preserve de notre monde moderne ou on remonte avec une grande delactation dans le temps ! vous n'oublierez jamais ce lieu exceptionnel !

Luis Urea

La ciudad medieval más grande de Europa. Entrar a la Basílica y al Castillo es obligatorio.

Laura Toso

Ciudad medieval preciosa, parece sacada de un cuento de hadas! Perfecto para familias con niños!

Roberto BeerExperiences

Espectacular. La perdición para los golosos , tiendas de chocolates , caramelos y dulces.

Chris Bergamini

Lindíssima cidade . Vale muito a pena se hospedar dentro da cidade murada. Acordar nesse ambiente é tudo!!!!

Diego Bravin

Parada obrigatória no sul da França.

Veronika

Очень похоже на Сан-Мишель по атмосфере . Тоже небольшой туристическо-торговый городок за крепостными стенами и небольшим замком в центре. Почему-то продают сувениры из Поованса

🌝

Cerca de la entrada principal hay una tienda de recuerdos donde venden croissants . son DEMASIADO buenos. ah también hagan el recorrido del castillo .

⚓️ Dredd 🐪💨

Невероятной красоты замок , и городок внутри. Очень много сил и времени потрачено на восстановление .

Masqueturismo

La ciudadela medieval y castillo mejor conservado del sur de Europa, en Carcassonne.

Christian Martinot

Magnifique et donc grosse affluence, dommage mais inévitable. Choisir une période moins touristique si possible...

Patricia Pinzon

Caminar la ciudad en la noche es hermoso.Visitar el castllo de noche ,hay juegos de luces bonitos

Eduardo Herraiz

Es muy bonito el castillo y la zona amurallada pero se puede pasar sin ver la parte de pago (8'50€), no merece la pena, es lo mismo pero desde dentro del castillo .

Elisa

Una ciudad medieval de cuento de damas y de caballeros. Un sueño. Impecable estado de conservación

Marine Laperiodebleue

Magnifique cité où se balader.

Joan Riutort Crespí

Imprescindible una visita nocturna per veure la ciutat iluminada.

Glauco Barcelos

Se vem de carro, existe um estacionamento antes de subir, que é gratuito. Para acessa lo, venha pelo centro.

Anke St.

Toll erhaltene Festungsmauern mit schöner mittelalterlicher Stadt im Innern

Pilar Muiños

Una ciudadela medieval espectacular y muy bien conservada aunque demasiado explotada para el turismo
