Restored medieval fortress made of red stone, sitting on a crag & staging historical reenactments.
Great out of the way castle. I had a great time. Make sure you have good footing... There aren't a lot of hand rails. I like it that way personally.
Jeffrey H — Google review
Nice Castle with decent restoration and pretty close to the highway on our way to Zaragoza. We stayed in the parking lot for the night with amazing views of the village and valley below the castle. And with no clouds you get a sky full of stars! Entrance fee for the castle was 11€ for 2 adults and 2 children.
Harry P — Google review
Probably one of the best restored medieval fortresses worldwide
Rene E — Google review
Absolutely fantastic afternoon/evening spent here, we were lucky enough to visit the same time a re-enactment group were performing. The walk up from the town was fantastic, a novice walker could easily do this in an hour or you can park right outside the castle, for free. We obtained our tickets, 3 euro 50 each, an absolute bargain at the ticket booth, David spoke better English than me and explained what was happening and a little history about the castle, well done David, a credit to tourism in Spain........... There are many walks around and we plan to stay in the area for 2 or 3 days, truly a lovely picturesque location and a hikers dream. 5 STARS .....

If you love weird nature landscapes, this is the place to go. This military medieval castle with it's defense weapon display is atop a huge rock overlooking below and all around... Mesmerizing
Georgette — Google review
Great castle and amazing place to visit.
Jasper H — Google review
It has the wow effect when the car passes the hill. Huge castle with a clear military and defensive structure, far from the royalty kind of castles. Inside you can see a collection of siege weapons explained. At the entrance they provide a little piece of paper with the basic explanation of the castle and, unfortunately, that they there were no guided tours, otherwise I would join. It is very interesting and the landscape is not to be missed.
Jorge A — Google review
The landscape and location of the castle are breathtaking. However, since the castle has been fully restored lately, it looks more like an amusement park attraction rather than an historical site... more focus into the original condition of the construction and the history of the site would have been more appreciated

Monasterio de Piedra

Monasterio de Piedra is a stunning natural park located in Nuevalos, where the Piedra river creates a breathtaking setting around a 12th-century monastery. The park features waterfalls, caves, and lush vegetation amidst an otherwise arid landscape. Visitors can explore the monastery's walls steeped in eight centuries of history since its consecration in 1218.
The park is simply fantastic; spending a day there is a great pleasure for the whole family. The fresh air and the river create a wonderfully warm atmosphere. If you happen to see the birds perform, you're in luck. Come and see.
Andrey S — Google review
It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.
Sari D — Google review
I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.
Pedro G — Google review
WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!

One of the most beautiful places on earth. The paths and the falls are amazing. So much peace and beauty make this a great place to retreat to for the day.
David A — Google review
This park is worth every penny. About 2.5 hours of absolute nature magic. Recommended early morning, opens at 09:00 and avoid weekends. Bring a picnic as there are nice places to do it, take your time and enjoy nature. Buy your tickets online and bring a professional camera because you will get some amazing shots.

Museo Minero de Escucha

1 list 
Museum
Specialty Museums
Museo Minero de Escucha is an old coal mine that offers guided tours where visitors can explore the mines and gain insight into the challenging work of miners. While the tours are primarily conducted in Spanish, some guides may speak English to accommodate international visitors. The museum provides a fascinating experience, with visitors entering the mine by train before continuing on foot.
Visited February 2024. Friendly staff, and thankfully, one spoke some English, and with Google Translate, we managed to purchase our tickes, we were informed it's only in Spanish. Which was fine with us. We were disappointed, though. There was no literature or audio guide in English or any other language. Our guide was Tamara and she spoke some English, which was fantastic for us. We were so pleased with our tour. Tamara tried so hard explaining almost everything to us in English. Thank you so much.

I suffer from claustrophobia but didn't have any trouble here at all. We had a guide who also did the tour in English. You enter the mine with a train and the rest goes on foot.
Adriana O — Google review
Amazing experience for kids and adults alike. Spanish only, but the guide (atleast our guide - Sara) was very knowledgeable and more than willing to answer all our questions. Take a sweater, you go 150m deep into the mine so it's cold inside even in the middle of summer!

(Translated by Google) A MUST-SEE for everyone, children, teens, and adults. Unmissable. Impressive. I can't understand how we're letting this town, which is part of Spain's history, disappear. Visited with two children, ages 8 and 10, who also enjoyed the visit. Our guide, Raquel, was excellent. (Original) Visita OBLIGADA para todas las personas, niños, adolescentes y adultos. Imprescindible. Impresionante. No puedo entender como estamos dejando que desaparezca este pueblo, que es historia de España.

(Translated by Google) We went to visit the old town of Belchite and we can only highly recommend it. Know the entire history of the place, how it affected the actions of both sides during the war, how the new town emerged, etc. It has been very interesting. Best of all, the guide, Raquel, and her companions are from the place and give testimonies of the people who lived there and who they know, stories of people still alive, events that still take place and their fight to keep the place standing to be able to continue telling what happened there. (Original) Fuimos a hacer la visita al pueblo viejo de Belchite y no podemos más que recomendarlo muchísimo. Conocer toda la historia del lugar, cómo afectó la acción de ambos bandos durante la guerra, cómo surgió el pueblo nuevo, etc. ha sido muy interesante. Lo mejor de todo que la guía, Raquel, y sus compañeras son del lugar y dan testimonios de la gente que vivió allí y que conocen, historias de personas aún vivas, eventos que aún se realizan y su lucha por mantener en pie el lugar para poder seguir contando lo acontecido ahí.

(Translated by Google) We've been here twice. The first time was for the daytime visit, which focused on the story of everything we've experienced. The second time was for the nighttime visit, so we could experience the other, more mysterious side of it all. Unfortunately, it was an extremely large group; there were many children and adults who weren't behaving properly, which prevented us from enjoying the experience, but we'll definitely be back. Both times we were with Raquel, and she was delightful. Thank you so much for the experience. (Original) Hemos venido dos veces, la primera fue a la visita diurna, en la que se centra en la historia de todo lo vivido, la segunda, para la nocturna, y poder intentar sentir el otro lado, el más misterioso de todo esto. Desgraciadamente era un grupo extremadamente grande, había muchos niños y gente adulta que no se comportaba como debía y eso nos impidió poder disfrutar de todo aquello, pero volveremos seguro. Ambas veces nos tocó con Raquel y fue encantadora, muchas gracias por la experiencia.

Aljafería Palace

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Aljafería Palace, also known as Palacio de la Aljaferia, is a must-visit in Zaragoza. This 11th-century palace serves as the seat of the Aragonese Parliament and offers guided tours. The palace's fortified exterior contrasts with its stunning interior featuring Mudejar art declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Inside, visitors can admire the breathtaking myrhab, alveolate arches, an orange tree patio, and the golden hall.
We love Spain and Moorish architecture so this was a most enjoyable visit on a roasting day. Don't forget to look up at the amazing ceilings....bit hot for visiting the gardens which may potentially may only have consisted of a number of trees within some dusty paths. There was some Goya art there as the official exhibition is closed. Not art to my personal taste but I appreciate he is a local hero.
Jeph B — Google review
This used to be a fortified Islamic medieval palace built between 1065 and 1081 that eventually housed the regional parliament of Aragon. I was amazed by the intricate mixtilinear arches and springers, with arabesques over a large area. Definitely worth the money (not expensive) and time spent there. Notable sights include the Golden Hall, Mosque, Santa Isabel Courtyard, Palace of Peter IV and Palace of the Catholic Monarchs. When I was there, Goya’s works were also temporarily exhibited here, with the Goya Museum being renovated. So it was a 2-in-1 visit.
Mo L — Google review
The place looked beautiful, and definitely is very cool from the outside. However, we were unable to go in because the tickets are not working from the online system. There was a long line, and we went to buy our tickets online, but definitely with the mobile device it was not working. It seems to be fairly typical that many of the websites in Spain don't work. 😞😵‍💫

1. Before my visit, it was not clear to me whether tickets had to be purchased in advance or not, so as not to waste time in queues. I visited Aljaferia Palace on a Friday afternoon in September. There was no queue for tickets. The ticket office is a small booth outside the walls of the Aljaferia, on the side of Calle de los Disputados street. 2. As with many Spanish attractions in Zaragoza, the explanations are perfect in Spanish :-) , but there is no information in English. I had installed the Aljaferia Palace app. This app contains numbers, but unfortunately these numbers do not correspond to the numbers found in the various rooms. Well, how difficult is it to do something properly... 3. Coming back to the tickets. Apparently, you can take guided tours in English during the summer. September is no longer summer, so guided tours were only available in Spanish. Try booking a ticket in advance on the website, and I wish you luck understanding it... I see online tickets for locals, for students, for all kinds of groups of people, but not for a foreign (English-speaking) tourist who wants a regular visit without extras. Has anyone ever taken a critical look at this booking web page? 4. Although the style is also Moorish, it is not comparable to, for example, the Alhambra in Granada, which is much more beautifully integrated into the landscape and has much more beautiful gardens, water features, and buildings.
J. A — Google review
It is a magnificent building to visit especially on a Rainey day. Though our visit coincided with a film crew on site. Restricting locations and sound levels. As we had just arrived we could not come back another day. We were still charged full price to enter.
Albert R — Google review
An absolutely amazing piece of history not too far from the centre of Zaragoza. I booked the English tour for 9 euros and it was well worth the money. I would recommend the tours because you will get a lot more of the history of the palace and you will enjoy the visit more.
Martin F — Google review
One of the most interesting archaeological heritage buildings that shows our shared cultural and artistic links of Aragon and Spain with the Muslim world while showing the evolution and its later role in Christian time as a royal fortress since Ferdinand and Isabella. If it was located in France or Italy it would have been visited 10 times more. A hidden gem worth visiting and cherishing and discovering all its treasures.

Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar

Mentioned on 
42 lists 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar is a stunning Baroque structure adorned with vibrant cupolas and renowned for its shrine to the Virgin Mary. Inside, visitors can admire frescoes by Goya. While it's worth exploring this architectural gem, nearby villages like Aninon and Torralba de Ribota boast exceptional examples of Mudejar architecture, such as the Church of Lady of Castillo and the Church of San Felix.
Breathtaking and Majestic El Pilar is absolutely stunning—both inside and out. The architecture is grand, the interior is peaceful and awe-inspiring, and the views from the towers are unforgettable. A place filled with history, beauty, and spiritual calm. A true gem of Zaragoza and a must-visit for anyone in the city.
Akmal K — Google review
A most exquisite building dedicated to Saint Mary who appeared on a pillar which is now enclosed but you can kneel before it and touch part of it. The soaring ceiling and beautiful sculptures are breathtaking. Each of the chapels has its own glorious artworks. The chapel at the back of the church is extraordinary with a separate open roof structure. A true gem.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza is a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a deeply spiritual landmark.

Such a beautiful Basilica. Seeing the Pilar where our Lady billocated was so special. We timed it well for Holy Mass. you do need an hour to explore afterwards. Plenty of priests were there to hear confessions. Architecture was spectacular, the paintings, sculptures- a pure joy to be there. Plenty of Capella for praying along. Rosary after 12 mass.

The church was absolutely stunning, with its magnificent architecture leaving me speechless. The intricate stonework and towering spires created an awe-inspiring silhouette against the sky. As I walked through the grand entrance, I was captivated by the rich history that enveloped the space; it felt as though time itself had been preserved within these walls. The ornate stained glass windows cast vibrant colors across the interior, illuminating the beautifully carved wooden pews. I found myself particularly mesmerized by the elaborate details on the facade, where every chiselled figure and decorative element seemed to tell a story of its own. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on my heart.

Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza, also known as La Seo, is a stunning architectural marvel that combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. Situated on Plaza de la Seo, it holds historical significance as it was built on the site of one of the first mosques during Moorish rule in Aragon. Over the centuries, it has undergone various renovations and additions reflecting Mudejar, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque influences.
This is a magnificent and stunning piece of architecture and art, no less than any other churches of this style, with the choir in the centre, but it is far less crowded and expensive as in other more popular cities in Spain. No long queues to enter, no booking in advance, and one can stroll leisurely and admire every detail. I am so glad that I stop by Zaragoza.
Connie W — Google review
The Catedral del Salvador de Zaragoza, commonly known as La Seo, is an absolute masterpiece that genuinely captivated me. While many visitors flock to the more famous Basílica del Pilar, overlooking La Seo would be a grave mistake. This magnificent temple boasts stunning architecture, with its intricate domes, numerous chapels, and breathtaking art creating an atmosphere of profound beauty. It's immediately clear why this cathedral holds the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every corner reveals centuries of history and artistic brilliance, making it an unforgettable experience that truly stands apart.

This is a must see. It’s just stunning. Try time it for mass. A lot of tourists are walking around, looking at all the art periods, Capellas. The audio guide is necessary, they’ve a children’s audio guide too. The staff are so kind & patient. It’s mostly wheelchair accessible except the gift shop & tapestries. The beauty & building for the glory of God is a feast for your eyes. Again the ticket here can be also used at ‘the glass rosary’ You’ll need more time than you think in this cathedral. Look at the tapestries. If you like art this is for you.
Á D — Google review
This was the best historical site we saw in Zaragoza. It covers several periods, invasions & conversions. The audio guide for children and another for adult work really well. Lots of language options. It’s mostly wheelchair friendly but the gift shop, up one step and the tapestry’s are up several flights of old broad stairs. Everyone is so friendly. The detail of each little chapel can be a little overwhelming at times. The effort, skills & expense put into them. The personal Family history.
Aine D — Google review
Pretty amazing place, but quite crowded on the weekend. It's also closed around lunch time so you can't really go in and take advantage of smaller crowds. All that said, it's not worth taking a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a couple other churches that are around. If you're in the area, or you're passing through, you definitely should visit.
Loech M — Google review
Very nice and important place to see. The cathedral has some magnificent architecture and decour, also there is a wonderful tapestry museum inside which I would say is a must see for any history and decour enthusiast. The visit includes a great audioguide in multiple languages.
Michał Ł — Google review
One of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain, also constantly underrated and overshadowed by El Pilar for obvious reasons, it retains a big artistic value in unique from the wood altarpiece to the choir or all the baroque interiors, plus the mudejar tiles on the façade or the collection of rich medieval tapestries. It reflects the role of Zaragoza as witness in a crossroads of civilizations from Roman to Visigoth, muslim, and Christian again in Romanesque, Gothic, renaissance, unique mudejar with arab reminiscences, baroque, neoclassic, etc all in one single building

‏We had an absolutely fantastic time on our canyoning adventure in Spain with Javi as our guide! My two children, aged 11 and 9, enjoyed every moment of it. Javi was incredibly attentive to all our needs, and his sensitivity to my daughter’s occasional fears made the experience even more special. He ensured that we all felt safe and confident throughout the journey. ‏Without a doubt, we will be returning for more adventures with them in the future. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience! Michal Danin Hollander

Great family (2+4) experience! We were extremely pleased with our guide David who guided us in a fun and safe manner. Our youngest girl of 8 years old skipped a few high jumps but was encouraged to expericence the adventure full swing. Exiting and beautiful trip1 Highly recommended.!

Our family had a wonderful day with Javier. It was our 8 year okd’s first time and she whined a fair bit in the beginning about the hiking ascent under the sun but soon all was forgotten as we navigated through the icy river, wading, swimming, climbing and jumping off rocks, crawling and squeezing through crevices. Javier really guided our and another family with 2 kids, serving as human ladder at times to support us. He kept the kids entertained and shared his enthusiasm and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We all had a blast

Pasarelas del Vero

Hiking area
Bird watching area
Pasarelas del Vero is a stunning hiking trail featuring suspended walkways and footbridges that wind through a picturesque gorge with turquoise waters along Rio Vero. The 3km loop takes about 1.5-2 hours to complete and offers breathtaking views of the valley and the river. Visitors are encouraged to support the maintenance of this beautiful trail, which starts and ends in the town of Alquezar.
A really interesting walk down through a gorge then above the river on metal walkways before returning to the village via a roughish track. The paths, steps and hanging walkways are excellent quality. Loved it!!! Take your lunch and enjoy the tranquility and ruggedness of the gorges.

Not a particularly tough walk for walkers but a beautiful place to visit and exercise . You buy tickets opposite the entrance which is a One way walk .
James C — Google review
Really nice hike! At the time of writing, it costs €5 for an adult. The paths are well maintained with lots of (metal)boardwalks. After the first section, there is a detour to a large cave. You can swim there, but it is very cold. The middle section goes along the side of the mountain through metal gangways, with beautiful views of the valley. The final section is a steep climb with barely any cover for the sun. You definitely need enough water during the summer. They also warn you about this. If you are near, it is definitely worth taking this hike.
Jerry N — Google review
Fantastic hike! It order to get to the trail head, you need to park in the parking lot (4 euros) on the other side of the town. This adds a nice walk through the historic streets, just follow the signs. Then you buy a ticket at the city hall (ayuntamiento), it's 5 eur per person. The hike isn't long, but you will definitely spend long time taking a lot of pictures on this beautiful trail. I absolutely loved it!
Maria D — Google review
Amazing walk down into the canyon alongside the river. Steep descent, some sloping boardwalks, some wooden stairs, some walking on rocky ground. Not easy for anyone with mobility issues. The walkways along the cliff side are amazing and scary at the same time, but the views of the beautiful river take precedence!
Catherine S — Google review
Starting at the paid entrance was actually a plus. The staff gave us a map and excellent advice for the route. There's also a shop there to buy water before you start. We hiked with our 17-month-old in a toddler backpack carrier. Our advice: pack light, wear breathable clothing, but don’t skimp on proper hiking shoes! The trail was said to take 1.5 to 2 hours, and we walked at a pretty steady pace and completed it in just over an hour. We found a very small shaded area after the main lookout point to have a quick bite, but there aren’t really any places to rest along the way. If you can, take your time, stop often, and enjoy the stunning views and waterfall. Don’t forget a hat, sunblock, and plenty of water! Highly recommended for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic adventure.
Ramona A — Google review
I'm not giving it 5 stars because the entrance is not free. I must agree with other people that it sucks that you have to pay to enjoy nature. But the nature was great. The river was a blast. Very beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot. We were there in the middle of June and walk almost everything by ourselves at our own pace. I didn't know you could swim in the river so I recommend bring swim suit. And good shoes too!
Raquel A — Google review
Lovely hike for all levels. A Walk along the mountain boardwalks with views to a river, a small dam and valleys. Look above and see the vultures fly. 4 euros tourism fee which you need to pay at the town hall which is next to the entrance of the beginning of the walk. It's a light walk with a bit of an uphill towards to the end. Nice to go with the family as it's not too difficult

Sights & Landmarks
Castles
Nestled to the west of Plaza Mayor, Castillo Fortaleza de Ainsa is a remarkable historical site that has been recognized as an Asset of Cultural Interest and a Historic-Artistic Monument. This impressive fortress, originally established in the 11th century, served as a strategic stronghold against Muslim territories and was built upon ancient Arab foundations. The oldest section of this castle is the Torre del Homenaje, which stands proudly within its fortified walls.
(Translated by Google) Go for a walk on the ramparts, and you will have a magnificent view of the village and the mountains. It's not really dangerous but toddlers will still need to be supervised. (Original) Allez faire un tour sur les remparts, et vous aurez une vue magnifique sur le village et les montagnes. Ce n'est pas réellement dangereux mais il faudra quand même surveiller les bambins.

(Translated by Google) Aínsa is one of the most beautiful towns you can visit in the area (and I'd say in the country, without exaggeration). You'll easily spot the fortress, which also has a parking lot next to it. At the top of its walls, admire the surrounding valleys and mountains from its viewing points, feel the wind on your face, enjoy nature, and walk along the wall like a king. This free attraction won't take long. Take a walk to see the views and also the details of the wall. Take your influencer photo and stop by the bathroom to relieve yourself before getting in the car. (Original) Aínsa es uno de los pueblos más bonitos que puedes visitar en la zona (y yo diría del país, sin exagerar). Fácilmente verás la fortaleza, que además tiene un parking al lado. En lo alto de su muralla, divisa en sus miradores los valles y las montañas alrededor, siente el viento en tu cara, disfruta de la naturaleza y camina por la muralla como si fueras un rey. Atracción gratuita y que no te llevará mucho tiempo, date una vuelta para ver las vistas y también alrededor los detalles de la muralla. Hazte tu foto de influencer y pasa por el baño para evacuar antes de coger el coche.
Pablo R — Google review
(Translated by Google) A Romanesque-style defensive enclosure, built on Arab remains in the 11th century, the original site underwent several changes over the centuries. The interior of the walls is reinforced with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style, despite dating from the 17th century. These supported the promenade along the wall, or the guard's patrol path. The oldest part of the Castle Fortress is the Keep, which currently houses the Eco-Museum Visitor Center. The town's inhabitants took refuge within its walled enclosure in case of danger. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 1931. (Original) Recinto defensivo de estilo románico, construido sobre restos árabes en el siglo XI, el original emplazamiento sufrió diversos cambios a lo largo de los siglos. El interior de los muros está reforzado con arcos de medio punto, de claro estilo románico, pese a datar del siglo XVII. Estos sostenían el paseo sobre la muralla o camino de ronda de la guardia. La parte más antigua del Castillo Fortaleza es la Torre del Homenaje, actualmente alberga el Eco Museo Centro de Visitantes. En su recinto amurallado se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. Considerado Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1931.

(Translated by Google) We were on our second day of our motorcycle trip, following the Trans-Pyrenees Route, and we stopped in this beautiful and spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, located in the Huesca Pyrenees, in the Sobrarbe region, south of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. It sits on a promontory above the confluence of the Cinca and Ara rivers and is made up primarily of two almost parallel streets, Calle Mayor and Calle Santa Cruz, which flow into the Plaza Mayor. Further west, the Castle appears, extending across a wide esplanade. This Castle-Fortress of Aínsa is located at the western end of the Plaza Mayor. Its oldest part is the Torre del Homenaje (Keep Tower), built on Moorish remains in the 11th century and surrounded by a walled enclosure where the town's inhabitants took refuge in case of danger. The original enclosure underwent various changes over the centuries, and the fortress's current appearance reflects the fortification policy of Philip II (17th century) and follows the same principles as the Citadel of Jaca. To build it, some 70 houses on the western edge of the town were demolished. Inside, the walls are reinforced by high arcades with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style despite dating from the 17th century, whose function is to support the Paseo (or Coastal Path). The only gate leads to the Plaza Mayor, which until not many years ago was preceded by a moat, now filled in, and crossed by a drawbridge. A visit to this castle is highly recommended, as is the spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, which is also deservedly included on the List of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. (Original) Estábamos en nuestro segundo día de viaje en moto, realizando la Ruta Transpirenaica, y paramos en esta bonita y espectacular población medieval de Aínsa, situada en el Pirineo de Huesca, en la comarca de Sobrarbe, al sur del Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. Se emplaza en un promontorio sobre la confluencia de los ríos Cinca y Ara, y está formada principalmente por dos calles casi paralelas, la calle Mayor y la calle Santa Cruz que desembocan en la Plaza Mayor. A continuación, en dirección oeste, aparece el Castillo que se extiende por una amplia explanada. Este Castillo Fortaleza de Aínsa, está situado en el extremo oeste de la Plaza Mayor, siendo su parte más antigua la Torre del Homenaje, construida sobre restos árabes en el siglo XI y rodeada de un recinto amurallado donde se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. El primitivo recinto fue sufriendo diversos cambios a lo largo de los siglos y el aspecto actual de la fortaleza responde a la política de fortificación de Felipe II (siglo XVII) y sigue los mismos criterios que la Ciudadela de Jaca. Para construirlo se derribaron unas 70 casas del extremo occidental del pueblo. En el interior los muros están reforzados por arquerías elevadas con arcos de ½ punto, de evidente sabor románico a pesar de datar del siglo XVII y cuya función es la de sostener el Paseo o Camino de Ronda. La única puerta da a la Plaza Mayor, que hasta no hace muchos años estaba precedida por un foso, ahora cegado, que se salvaba mediante el correspondiente puente levadizo. Recomendable visitar este castillo, así como visitar esta espectacular localidad medieval de Aínsa, que además está incluida en la Lista de los Pueblos más Bonitos de España, y además con todo merecimiento.

(Translated by Google) The Aínsa castle is almost attached to the town, separated by the Plaza del Castillo, which currently serves as a parking lot. The oldest part is the Torre del Homenaje, built on Arab remains from the 16th century. XI. Later, the enclosure was closed, with high walls (up to 14 m), with a walkway and two viewpoints or balconies, that of the Villa and that of the Pyrenees. Wheelchair accessible (except, obviously, the roundabout) Free access to the castle, which is open all day. (Original) El castillo de Aínsa está casi pegado a la villa, separado por la Plaza del Castillo, que actualmente sirve de parking. La parte más antigua es la Torre del Homenaje, construida sobre restos árabes del s. XI. Más tarde se cerró el recinto, de altos muros (hasta 14 m), con un paso de ronda y dos miradores o balcones, el de la Villa y el de los Pirineos. Accesible para silla de ruedas (salvo, obviamente, el paso de ronda) Acceso gratuito al castillo, que está abierto todo el dia.

Didn't do much research on Ainsa, thought we'd check out the Plaza. WOW , beautiful medieval old town high above modern Ainsa with stunning views , lovely gift shops, bars, a small craft market and restaurants. Bit of an uphill trek by foot, but noticed a carpark at the top so obviously driveable.

Hidden above the modern town, the medieval heart sits on a hill and is a fantastic place to visit. There is a car park for those who don't have the stamina to walk.

Next to the square there is a small park and the remains of a fortress which offers great views over the old town and the mountains. You can easily spend a couple of hours here.

Quite nice plaza mayor. Requires a little walking, and not very wheelchair or highheels friendly due to the cobbles.. Has some interesting shops.

Cirque de Gavarnie

Mentioned on 
+49 other lists 
Elevated
Nature & Parks
Cirque de Gavarnie, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Pyrenees National Park, is a breathtaking natural amphitheater that can be reached by foot or horseback. While it tends to attract crowds in the summer, there are less crowded paths that allow visitors to fully appreciate its beauty, including the famous waterfall and the iconic Breche de Roland. The relatively easy hiking trail offers stunning views of numerous cascading waterfalls along the vertical walls of this majestic cirque.
We visited Cirque de Gavarnie in early spring and had a wonderful experience — it’s an easy and scenic trail that’s great for families with young kids. The path is wide and mostly flat, making it very manageable even for little legs. Along the way, the views are stunning — snow-capped peaks, waterfalls starting to flow, and peaceful meadows just beginning to turn green. Although there was still snow on the peaks, it added to the beauty and didn’t make the walk difficult. The final view of the cirque itself is breathtaking — like a natural amphitheater carved into the mountains. It’s a perfect introduction to the Pyrenees for children and a relaxing hike for adults, too.
Sid — Google review
What an amazing experience. You should do the loop starting from the church… the views are amazing!
Hugo M — Google review
The hike to the Cirque de Gavarnie begins in the village of Gavarnie, along a wide and pleasant path by the river, crossing a stone bridge and a shaded forest, and gradually climbing until the impressive cirque comes into view. After about an hour and a half, you reach the Hotel du Cirque, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains and the waterfall. For those in good shape, I recommend continuing to the base of the waterfall for a unique experience. The return follows the same route — a beautiful trail filled with nature and the dramatic scenery of the Pyrenees. I strongly recommend bringing hiking poles, especially for the ascent and descent in the final part of the trail near the waterfall.
Mira D — Google review
One of the most impressive mountains that I've ever seen in my life. The trail towards the end is easy (although after the hotel, dogs are not allowed, which js what I don't understand). On the way back, we took the harder trail via Refuges Pailha. This trail is moderate-hard, with some of the trails not well maintained. The view, however, was just excellent. Worth the pain and effort! PS: Parking is €7 nowadays for the whole day.
St H — Google review
This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. I can see why it was so admired by Victor Hugo and other writers. What I wish I knew before my visit: Google will trick you into thinking you can drive to the hotel right by the cirque de Gavarnie, but that is not entirely accurate: the road to the hotel is usually closed in the beginning of the day so they make you park in the town. From there the walk is around 2h to the actual waterfall, instead of anticipated 50 min from the hotel. The walk is not too bad, it does include quite a bit of an elevated hike, but that is to be expected. Another thing I wish I knew is that the waterfall itself would be really cold and it would not be a great idea to try to get to the base of it. Or, if that’s what you want to do, bring a change of clothes as you will be soaking wet. Overall, a great experience, beautiful breathtaking nature. I will definitely return for more exploration of this magnificent place.

An amazing adventure to Pico Perdido. Solo climbed it from La Pradesa Ordessa via Ruta de Escaleras(5 resaltes), this is a unique route than the normal route via La Escupidera, but for experts only as it involves exposed section, dangerous when climbing without ropes. The summit is wonderful with open views all around.

No matter your age, as long as you can open your eyes, the views and the landscape will take your breath away.

This outstanding mountain landscape, which spans the contemporary national borders of France and Spain, is centred around the peak of Mount Perdu, a calcareous massif that rises to 3,352 m. The site, with a total area of 30,639 ha, includes two of Europe's largest and deepest canyons on the Spanish side and three major cirque walls on the more abrupt northern slopes with France, classic presentations of these geological landforms. The site is also a pastoral landscape reflecting an agricultural way of life that was once widespread in the upland regions of Europe but now survives only in this part of the Pyrénées. Thus it provides exceptional insights into past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, upland pastures and mountain roads. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES

We did both the Via Ferrata and canyoning with guide Fernando and it was amazing. He combines a great sense of humour with a strong focus on safety. Difficult passages were made easy by his explanation and instructions. He even knows important words in different languages to make it easier for kids to understand the instructions in their native language. Just keep in mind you can be up for a long day, so don't forget to bring enough food and water, as well as sunscreen. All other equipment will be taken care of by Sin Fronteras.

Mountains
Col du Tourmalet is a renowned mountain pass in the Pyrenees, standing at an elevation of 2,115 meters. It is famous for being a challenging climb on the Tour de France cycling race. The route to Vallee de Gavarnie from Argeles-Gazost can be accessed through the narrow Gorges de Luz or via Col du Tourmalet. Cyclists find it essential to conquer this pass, with both sides offering long and demanding ascents.
Biked up the Col. it’s a grind but the views are phenomenal. Seeing the llamas on the descent was a little surreal.

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Pic du Midi de Bigorre is a prominent mountain in the French Pyrenees, home to the 19th-century Pic du Midi Observatory. Standing at nearly 3,000m, it is easily recognizable with its observatory and rocket-like transmitter. The site offers an immersive experience with friendly staff who provide insightful information about its history and astronomy. Visitors can enjoy a cable car ride for stunning views and explore the bistro for a delightful culinary experience.
Hiked up to pic du midi late June. The hike is all the time with wonderful scenery and open views of mountains peaks. Near the lake I met a group of friendly Lama.
Noel Z — Google review
A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.
Robin R — Google review
Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …
Eli K — Google review
we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.
Christophe D — Google review
Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.
Morris E — Google review
Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

Balnéa Spa

Spas & Wellness
Nestled in the picturesque Louron valley, Balnéa Spa offers a serene escape in the heart of the Pyrenees. The spa is set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and an artificial lake, creating a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation. Visitors can explore various pools inspired by cultures from around the world, including Roman, Japanese, Inca, and Amerindian designs.
The thermal baths were great! I’ve been to quite a few thermal baths in Europe and this was one of the most enjoyable ones. Very easy to get a ticket from the machines and had multiple languages. No queue to get in and changing rooms were quite empty on a Thursday afternoon in July. There was lots of different pool with all sorts of jets and waterfalls. Loved how there are so many little hidden features like the musical pool and little Roman baths. The water felt very clean and therapeutic. My favourite part was the mineral pools. Two hours is not enough to explore all the pools as there is so much to do!
Rachael — Google review
Not the friendliest/patience for English speakers. Outdoor hot baths are a lovely experience but 2 hours is over far too quick when you include time to get changed, showered etc. 3 hours would feel more of a reasonable duration.

Very “tired” building. A lot of facilities didn’t work, the interior looks like you are in the middle of the construction work. They need to repair everything. Stuff was unexpectedly rude. The nature outside is great.
Valentina L — Google review
Although we live 75kms from Loudenvielle, we used to love a weekly visit to Balnea. We used to love the pampering - white towels and Prija shower gel included in the service - Japanese baths heated to 40°C - peaceful silence throughout. Gone now are these little things that made our visits so relaxing and worth while. Gone are the white towels included in the entry price. Gone too is the shower gel and the obligation to shower before getting into the baths. Gone is our favourite feature - the Japanese bath at 40°C (now heated to a mere 36°C). We gave Balnea one last visit recently - the chatter and noise everywhere except the saunas was overwhelming; the place was crowded and felt like a public municipal pool facility. A hot shower at home is more therapeutic than the Japanese baths at 36°C. I guess good things never last. Farewell Balnea!
JJ S — Google review
Amazing lunch and lovely spa. Many different themed rooms with varying types of pool/ sauna. Enjoyed the choices, some pools hotter than others. Outside pools have views of the surrounding mountains. Well worth a visit.
Suzanne B — Google review
Wonderful thermal bath with a great idea - you can travel to Japan or Peru or relax in the Roman baths. The thermal water is great - but some restrictions: Unfortunately, long line in front of the entrance - on a Tuesday outside of the holiday season at 2.45 p.m. The changing rooms are really bad, you don't feel well. You are not allowed to wear flip-flops or take a towel with you into the sauna - that means everyone is sweating on the wood and you have to sit in the sweat of others. The very dark shower room is a major disaster, much too small and not discreet. You can't really take a shower naked and clean yourself before and after the thermal bath, that urgently needs to be changed. Please.
Jens J — Google review
Probably the strangest spa I ever visited… and I did visit many, in multiple countries. There are no deck chairs AT ALL. Not even a single bench or chair to sit on. One can be either in the pool or stand somewhere. Staff asks you to leave EVERYTHING in the locker, including towel, book… or whatever else you might need… NOT a place to relax at all. Money wasted.
Alen L — Google review
The shower was cold, pools outside were cold, pools inside were cold. Sauna was warm. People were shivering walking between pools. They said "it's only 3 degrees cooler in the hot pool" and wouldn't find is any kind of refund. AND you've got to wear speedos. 1/10 would not recommend

A tiny lake is surrounded by an asphalt walking path suitable for bicycles, about 2.7 km long. The water in the lake is very cold and looks clean and full of water plants. All around we found fast food places, ice creams, boats for rent and inflatables in the water for children, on the shore of the lake in front of the attractions, a lot of noise... make your decision where to sit. Behind the boat rental business are convenient and relatively clean public toilets. There is plenty of parking around Lake -the parking spaces are marked "private parking" even those on the main road. Many park there without considering the signage.

This is a great place to visit especially with kids. There is a dedicated path for visitors and the animals are all around you.

I came specifically to see the bears and the pine marten. At the start of the park, the animals looked well and had good spaces. When I saw the bears, I was very sad..they had quite a small space to their size, and they seemed distressed. They were pacing back and forth constantly, it just seemed they were unhappy. Maybe I am wrong, and they were doing their morning exercises! It was the same with the pine marten, I only saw one and again it was going back and forth with no purpose, didn't appear relaxed and comfortable at all. The other animals were in pairs/groups and appeared well and content in their spaces.

Lovely animal park in the middle of the forest, almost every kind of animal had young ones which gives me the feeling all in all they are in good shape. Very natural feel to it. Mind you that most of the park is shaded in the morning so bring warm clothes, in September it was already chilly.

We loved this park, loads of animals which are running "freely" around you so you can get very close to them. Nicely managed and very relaxing environment. There is a little caffee stand with WC near the end of the circle. Be prepared for a few steep walks during the visit tho.

This is a nice ski resort. In fact, the largest ski resort in Spain. Easily accessible by car. The whole area is very nice. 2h away by car from Toulouse and 3.5h by car from Barcelona. Plenty of slopes. Only 1 green slope so not quite good for beginners. Children area isn’t bad. Food and drinks on the slope are good and not expensive. Very large underground parking is available right under the gondola lift. 15 euro for the whole day. Daily ski pass cost 70 euro. (Winter season 2024/25) 160km slopes in total. Friendly staff all around.
Stoyan N — Google review
What an incredible place to ski, amazing slopes with every level slopes from beginners to advanced and expert skiers. The Baqueira Beret slope system is not only in perfect conditions, but also very well supervised and taken care of. There are 4 main mountains to ski, 90 slopes and there is enough to not do one slope twice. They have a lot of artificial snow makers that give you a great ski experience even days away from the last snow fall. The views are great, ski pass prices are around 70€ per day and come with an insurance in case of accident. Rescue patrols are always on the lookout. There are numerous number of ski and Snowboard schools if you’d like to take private of group classes, prices starting from 75/h. If you are looking to rent, Intersports or La Rider are great places to get good quality equipment. Amazing ski location! Don’t forget to go to the Aprés Ski at the Moet & Chandon bar (in Beret) or at the 1500 bar (at the base of Baqueira)

Great Resort in general! Just sometimes have to drive to other parkings higher up because of the amount of people, and in the morning hours you can get stuck in traffic. The resort is huge so you will always find some slopes with few people even when you would think that it'll be crowded

Baquiera Beret is like Europe's hidden gem of a ski resort. Compared to their more pricey and popular resorts further north, Baquiera is shockingly very good in both absolute and relative terms. Even in relatively late season, we experienced snowfall literally every day we were there, pretty much guaranteeing amazing snow and powder experience - this compounded by the fact that the resort is relatively free of large crowds (especially in neighbouring mountains Beret and Bonaigua) and you get some of the most pristine and pleasant pistes in the world. Infrastructure is excellent with a combination of cable cars and chairlifts that allow you to easily explore the extensive and diverse of pistes of Baquiera; not to mention the accessibility of restaurants, bars and cafes spread out across the resort should you need a quick refreshment or a leisurely meal overlooking the stunning landscape. The resort boasts a variety of pistes for all skill levels and stamina, offering scenic long runs and technical but still very enjoyable runs in the blacks. I love that many of the trails effortlessly converge and diverge from each other so that you can have the option to move from challenging to easier pistes effortlessly making meeting up with friends regardless of skill level a relatively easy affair. While English is not widely used and minimally understood (except for the more central services of the resort), we rarely faced problems communicating our needs and people were patient and generally happy to help you. Even a little knowledge in Spanish (or even better, Catalan) will go a long way in getting you around enough to enjoy your time there. Will it still retain its charm in the coming years as more people discover this understated resort? It's hard to say, but it's definitely become one of my favourites!

Nice experience. Not so crowded for the big holiday (6-9 Dec) in Spain. The slopes are wide, well kept and the lifts are nice, for could be better and then, on the downside, very little life in town, there’s only one “club” Tiffany’s and it was a pain to find good restaurants that weren’t absolutely crowded.

Very nice ski center, quite big and with some very runs. We spent 5 sunny days skiing in late February. Most of the lifts are modern and fast. The ski center was quite crowded but the queues were moving fast. Lots of parking available, we found the ones up in Beret and Orri the most convenient. What was annoying were the traffic to get to the ski center and to leave from it. Especially during Sunday it took us almost 2 hours to return to our hotel in Vielha which was just 15 km away! All in all, it is highly recommended.

Located in the heart of the charming town of Saint-Lizier, this cathedral impresses with its beauty and its atmosphere of serenity. The building, of great historical richness with Romanesque architecture, gives it an undeniable majesty.

The element that particularly struck me was the feeling of calm and contemplation that emanates from this cathedral. You can spend long moments there contemplating the architectural details while being transported by the history and atmosphere of this sacred place. The location of the cathedral, overlooking the village, also allows you to admire a magnificent view of the surrounding landscapes, adding an extra touch to this experience.

In summary, it is an unmissable place, both majestic and calming, where history, culture and spirituality meet to offer a unique experience. A visit not to be missed if you are passing through the region!

Située au cœur de la charmante ville de Saint-Lizier, cette cathédrale impressionne par sa beauté et son atmosphère empreinte de sérénité. L'édifice, d'une grande richesse historique à l'architecture d'influences romanes , ce qui lui confère une majesté indéniable. À l'intérieur, la visite est un véritable voyage dans le temps : les fresques murales, les vitraux colorés et le mobilier religieux témoignent de l'importance spirituelle et culturelle du lieu. L'élément qui m'a particulièrement marqué, c’est la sensation de calme et de recueillement qui se dégage de cette cathédrale. On peut y passer de longs moments à contempler les détails architecturaux tout en étant transporté par l'histoire et l'ambiance de ce lieu sacré. L’emplacement de la cathédrale, surplombant le village, permet également d'admirer une vue magnifique sur les paysages environnants, ajoutant une touche supplémentaire à cette expérience. Que l'on soit croyant ou simplement curieux de découvrir un trésor du patrimoine, la cathédrale de Saint-Lizier ne déçoit jamais. En résumé, c'est un lieu incontournable, à la fois majestueux et apaisant, où l'histoire, la culture et la spiritualité se rencontrent pour offrir une expérience unique. Une visite à ne pas manquer si vous êtes de passage dans la région !

A folk group performed, dancing and singing in the Occitan tradition. Around 10:20 PM, the church bells rang, and the bonfire lighting ceremony began! When the ceremony ended, some very discreet firecrackers were set off; our dog didn't even notice them (we came here to escape the firecrackers in Catalonia), since they couldn't be heard much from the apartments in Terres de France.

Cuando termina la ceremonia lanzan algunos petardos muy discretos, nuestra perra ni los ha notado (vinimos escapando de los petardos en Cataluña) ya que desde los apartamentos de Terres de France, no se escucha mucho.

Village Gaulois - Archeosite

Theme park
Tours
Village Gaulois - Archeosite is a reconstructed Gaulish village with realistic constructions and various activities for both children and adults. The friendly welcome and the mobile application provide a guided experience throughout the discovery. Workshops such as tailoring in leather, copper, and coin-making keep children engaged while transporting them back to the times of the Gauls. The park offers knowledge through guided activities and independent exploration, making it an educational rather than an amusement park.
A recreation of a Gaulois village complete with reenactors demonstrating traditional crafts such as weaving and leather working. It feels very immersive. They’ve also got a restaurant so you can spend the afternoon there.

There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.

Grotte du Mas d'Azil tunnel

Nature & Parks
Historical landmark
Many prehistoric cave painting & artifacts have been found in this cave carved by the Arize River.
We were on the way by car and just passed it. But it was so amazing that we returned to the parking spot, and repeated it on foot. On the parking spot is also a clean toilet.

The cave is a geological oddity with rivulets and roads cutting through it. You can walk around and see the surrounding area. To visit the museum(the cave), I recommend you make a reservation online in advance. Also, the ticket includes the other museums in the village. You can come and have a picnic. There are free parking spaces and one small restaurant next to the cave that you can get a drink/food before or after visit the cave.

Very nice guided tour for about an hour through the caves all in French all about the excavations and findings of prehistoric bones and artifacts found when digging the road passing through the cave. No pictures allowed during the guided tour. Well worth visiting. Set times for visits.

One of the most iconic caves of South Western France. Huge, very well conserved, easy of access and open all year round. The entrance fee of 11€ for a guided tour is worth for discovering in depth archeological sites within the cave. I'd advise traveling across the cave by car - jaw dropping.

It was an overwhelming experience to drive through this tunnel. Stop and take photos at both ends. Worth the extra drive!

A huge cave going right through the hillside. Big enough for a road to use it as a tunnel alongside the river. There is a small car park at the end and then you can walk into the cave and towards the museum. The surrounding countryside is very pretty with lots of hiking available. Alas we didn’t have time so I can’t comment on the museum or the surroundings in detail. But the cave is cool!

Very cool cave with a small road running through the biggest part next to a stream. A snack stand is nearby. If you pay, there’s a tour of the smaller parts of the cave with good interesting information on prehistoric life in the region.

They Only do the tour in French and not much to see there because it has been mined since Neolithic man has been there.

Fantastic tree climbing and zip wire activities. Progressively challenging coarses with a really good belay safety system. The staff are friendly and attentive. Relaxing areas for picnic lunch. The creperie also has a nice range of drinks, ice-cream and beer for refreshments. The down river canoe trips look good too. Thank you La Belle Vert!!

No one's a clue what was going on. Need I say anything else. Couldn't book anything and it was all all the place. If you booked in advance may be better. But we didn't so....

(Translated by Google) Great discovery, an afternoon filled with good humor, a super smiling and friendly duo to welcome us and guide us. A shaded park, endless zip lines, courses of several levels but ultimately with a little agility they are all doable from 11 to 44 years old as far as we are concerned 3h40 of fun !!!! At the top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (Original) Belle découverte, une après midi rempli de bonne humeur, un binôme super souriant et sympathique pour nous accueillir et nous guider. Un parc ombragé, des tiroliennes à n'en plus finir, des parcours des plusieurs niveaux mais finalement avec un peu d'agilité ils sont tous faisable de 11 à 44 ans en ce qui nous concerne 3h40 de régalade !!!! Au top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) For my part, it was a very good experience; the courses are well-balanced. The zip line course over the Ariège River is fantastic. The staff is fantastic and open to technical questions. Please note that payment must be made in cash. (Original) Pour ma part très belle expérience, les parcours sont bien équilibrés. Le parcours tyrolienne au dessus de l’Ariège est top. Le personnel est génial, ouvert aux questions techniques. Attention il faut prévoir le paiement par espèces.

(Translated by Google) Incredible, 😍 a little haven of greenery, calm, kindness, and warmth. It feels good to settle down in a pretty, hidden spot by the river. You almost expect to see some mischievous fairies and elves appear. To discover, share, and preserve as a magical place of passage. Thank you (Original) Incroyable, 😍 petit écrin de verdure, de calme, de bienveillance et gentillesse. Il fait du bien de se poser dans un joli endroit caché en bord de rivière. On s'attendrait presque à voir surgir quelques fées et lutins espiègles . A découvrir, partager et garder comme lieu de passage magique. Merci
