The best things to do in Carcassonne



Looking for things to see in Carcassonne? Well, almost everyone who has visited the city will have the same answer and tell you that of all the places to visit in Carcassonne, the Citadel must be top of your list. This fortified city, noted for its ramparts and battlements, transports the visitor to a distant, long-gone era. As you stroll around it, you'll forget that you're living in the 21st century!

And you don't even have to leave the Citadel to discover what do in Carcassone. Within its walls you'll find the Count's Castle and the cathedral, other things to do in Carcassonne with a great historical legacy.

Leaving the Citadel, you'll find even more stuff to do in Carcassone. The Royal Canal of Languedoc, a navigable canal to the Mediterranean, is the oldest in Europe that is still operational. You can take a ride on one of the many tourist boats that are in Carcassonne, taking you from the city to the mouth of the sea.

This ancient city is divided into two sectors: the fortified city and the lower city. While most of the attractions in Carcassone are found around the Citadel, you there are also things to do in the lower city, like shopping at the Neptune Fountain market. And don't forget to make a visit to the extensive vineyards and their cellars where whites, reds, and rosés are made for worldwide distribution.
