Carcassonne Fortress is an amazing place to visit. It's majestic turrets and cathedral have stood the test of time. I especially enjoyed reading each panel that explained the history of the growth of the fortress. The ancient stonework was remarkable. Walking the ramparts was challenging with so many steps(over 900+), but the views from the ramparts and getting to see the different rooms of the structure was a remarkable experience! Well worth the time and effort!

What an absolutely wonderful little town! And the walk in the castle and on the walls was really special because you could really walk around the whole town, see it from every angle. Informative boards are placed everywhere, giving you the right amount of history and details of the structures. The entry was very easy, there's a dedicated queue for visitors with already purchased tickets. If you are visiting on a sunny day, don't forget your hat and sunscream, plus wear comfy shoes :)

Die Buchung über Headout war unkompliziert, das Ticket kam direkt aufs Handy und der Einlass lief problemlos. Das Schloss und der Rundgang über die Stadtmauern sind absolut sehenswert, vor allem die Ausblicke über die Türme und die Umgebung. Klare Empfehlung!

You can see the old walls and castle from Carcassone fortified old town, The Cité, but you do get extra by visiting the castle itself and walking around the walls. You find out extra history inside, learn about the castle and get some great views. The walk around the walls is worth it, but a lot of steps up and down, so might not be suitable for everyone. The ticket queue wasn't too long, but we saved around 10 minutes going straight through, and it was worth paying a booking fee to know we'd got tickets for the time we wanted. I always try to pay in the local currency - so € in this case, but the charge came through in GBP though I don't remember agreeing to accept a conversion

La visita al castello di Carcassonne ed alle sue mura è stata uno dei momenti salienti della nostra vacanza in Provenza. Grazie all'acquisto online l'ingresso è stato rapido e senza problemi. La visita al castello è stata un continuo saliscendi fra i vari ambienti interni ed esterni con belle vedute sulla città ed i dintorni.

Enjoy self-guided access to one of France’s most impressive historic attractions, the Carcassonne Castle and its courtyards, ramparts, and the archaeological museum.

Walk along the fortified medieval walls and climb the Bishop’s Tower, spanning both city walls.

Marvel at 15th-century polychrome alabaster statues in the Salle Pierre Embry and take in panoramic views from the ramparts as you learn about Eugène Viollet-le-Duc’s restoration work that revived the city to it's medieval grandeur.

I liked the pace of the tour and that you can take in the points in any order. I expected the guide to include the castle and ramparts but it didn't.
