Pretty cool to get to walk around the castle and then the ramparts. Amazing view to the Pyrénées. The scale model was amazing. The linear audio guide was at times confusing, with lots of directions to remember (example, go to the end of the corridor, and down the stairs, then turn left, and when you get to the end press play).

I thought I had to exchange the tickets at the castle, but the tickets were just fine with no need to wait in line.

Your Experience

Travel back in time to the 13th century and drink in views of the citadel that was once claimed by Romans, Visigoths, Saracens, and Crusaders! Look out for the massive 13th-century fortified walls, ramparts, watchtowers, and a castle that will bring this citadel’s remarkable history to life!

Step into the world of medieval trade and travel at the Cité de Carcassonne, much like the beloved board game, Carcassonne! Walk past the double-wall boasting 52 watchtowers, the Great Well, and the Count’s Castle, Château Comtal. Carcassonne was slated for demolition in the 19th century, but you can still walk the ramparts today, thanks to one of Europe’s largest restoration projects.
