Highlights

Discover the historic marvels of Cité de Carcassonne, a medieval city that rivals the popularity of Mont Saint-Michel. With a rich history spanning 2,500 years, this unique destination boasts massive 13th-century fortified walls, watchtowers, ramparts, and a castle. Explore the double wall and the 14th-century Great Well with this ticket, where legend has it that the Visigoths concealed the treasure of the Temple of Salomon. The Gauls, Romans, merchants, crusaders, and travelers have all left their mark on this ancient city, making its history truly awe-inspiring. Despite Napoleon's attempt to demolish it in the 19th century, a successful campaign saved and restored the Cité, earning it the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visit this 13th-century citadel, one of France's most impressive historic attractions

Walk the ramparts of the castle and discover its history in the Museum of Carcassonne

It’s a must-do when you’re in Carcassonne. The medieval architecture, city walls and stunning views make it feel like stepping back in time. However, note that the “museum” included in the ticket is quite minimal — more a small area with displayed artifacts and actually open to all visitors.
