Famous long street in Barcelona, full of gems, located in the center of city and you can easily access it by any transportation methods. Surrounded by famous restaurants, branded shops, museums , markets etc. Be careful of your belongings since it’s also famous for their pickpockets.

Great walking street to explore. Coincidently, there was filming going on!

This road is the heart of Barcelona, you can find anything, close to Barceloneta too. But it's unsafe to walk there after 9 o'clock in the night and I don't recommend to book your stay close to this street. Best time to visit is morning hours and ofcourse winter motnhs that nit many people go like the summer.

Lovely strip to walk down and enjoy the culture and food. But also be careful

Located on La Rambla Street — it was very crowded and there was construction everywhere. The timing wasn’t great, so we couldn’t really enjoy the visit.

Busy road under construction, don't buy the fridge magnet here, it doubled the price elsewhere

Must visit. So many things to see, eat and do on one street but be careful as this can also be a tourist trap where prices are hiked. Don’t settle for the 1st thing you see, try another.

Our accommodation was only a 15-minute walk from Camp Nou, so even though it wasn’t part of our original plan, we decided to visit. Unfortunately, our travel dates didn’t match any match days, but it was still worth walking around the stadium, and especially visiting the official Barça merchandise store. Some people say there’s no need to come all the way here because the Barça stores in central Barcelona are cheaper and easier to access. But I disagree. This place is HUGE. A three-story building with practically everything you could imagine. You can find classic replica kits like the 94–95 away jersey, as well as Nike Dri-FIT official sponsor versions. There’s a wide variety of caps, bags, and other accessories too. The staff were all very friendly. You can even see Messi’s autographed jersey and captain’s armband. If you want, you can buy the replicas, just for €2,999.99 and €1,999.99 respectively. There’s also a café and a nice rest area, so if you’re visiting Barcelona and a football fan, I highly recommend stopping by this legendary place. + You can find drinks with Barça packaging for more generous price at supermarkets in the city center.

When I went it was under construction so I didn't get the full experience. If you would like to go just make sure if these works are done or not yet. Actually the stadium is not that astonishing but if you are a Barcelona fan then obviously you'll get in love with 😅

Very nice experience. The interactive museum is well made, got to see many iconic items on display. Thought not very big still a nice tour especially if you like the FC Barcelona team. I highly recommend you book your tickets before arriving. Also, better to book an early time visit as the line and waiting time tend to get longer.

It was a good experience visiting the stadium and the museum, however since the stadium is under construction at the moment it wasn't possible to feel the right energy. Once everything is completed i believe that i will give it 5 stars!

I’ve seen some complaints, but honestly -the stadium’s under renovation, not a secret! What did you expect, a VIP tour of cranes and concrete? The real magic is the feeling of Barça itself , the history, trophies, jerseys, and spirit. The interactive legends show gave me chills, and Messi’s iconic celebration against Madrid next to his golden shoes nearly broke my heart . Paid under €100 for two tickets Worth every cent. Can’t wait for the reopening! Visca el Barça!

Nou Camp, is a stadium in Barcelona and the home of La Liga club FC Barcelona since its opening in 1957. It is currently undergoing renovation, and with a planned increased seating capacity of 105,000[10] it will be the largest stadium in terms of seating capacity in Spain and Europe, and the third largest association football stadium in the world.

Was under construction, but still amazing, the trophy museum is a must too. Couldn’t go inside the stadium but there’s a construction viewpoint where you can see it from the outside but closer up. If visiting the stadium itself, get tickets of course, but for the trophy museum, you can purchase when you reach.

Well-made audio guide and efficient organization at the entrance. The house is wonderful, allowing you to fully discover Gaudí’s art. The ticket is a bit expensive (€36 for the Silver route). By choosing the Silver ticket, you also get access to the terrace with its colorful chimneys. Overall, a positive visiting experience.

I went there twice already, once by day and the other time by night and the magic just never ends. Gaudi must have had a lot of fun designing this mysterious world into a house and it amazes me how he managed to make it possible. By night, the windows and sea life details create this enchanting atmosphere throughout the visit. I cannot recommend this architectural gem enough!!

From the moment you arrive, the building’s facade grabs your attention – a surreal mix of bone-like balconies, mosaic tiles, and a dragon-scale roof that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. Inside, the experience becomes even more immersive. The flowing lines, natural light wells, and attention to detail in every corner show Gaudí’s genius not just as an architect, but as an artist deeply connected to nature. The audio-guided tour is excellent, enhanced with augmented reality features that help you imagine what the rooms would have looked like when the Batlló family lived there. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace – it offers beautiful views of the city and features the famous dragon-back design that symbolizes the legend of Saint George. Tips: Book your tickets in advance – it can get crowded, especially in high season. Go for the “Be the First” or “Magic Nights” experience if you're looking for a more intimate or romantic visit. Take your time. Every room and hallway hides some small detail you’ll regret rushing past. Whether you're an architecture lover, an art enthusiast, or simply curious, Casa Batlló is a must-see. It’s not just a building – it’s an experience.

Casa Batlló absolutely blew me away — it feels like stepping into a living, breathing piece of art. Gaudí’s imagination is on full display, from the flowing, nature-inspired interiors to the colorful mosaic façade that changes with the light. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s spine, is just unforgettable. It’s one of those places where every detail surprises you — truly magical.

This house cannot be properly understood without going in. During the night I find it even more magical as you can really see how light plays a most important part in it's architecture. I was awed and actually didn't even want to go at first, but all the details took my breath away. The style is different inside and outside, so even if you're not a fan of Gaudi, give yourself a chance to go in. It is 100% worth it. And there's 100% accessibility! Elevators on request but to all floors.

Visiting Casa Batlló was one of the highlights of my trip to Barcelona. Here you can see Gaudí’s creativity up close- the flowing shapes, colorful mosaics, his vision and talent in every detail. The house was redesigned by Antoni Gaudí in the early 1900s for the Batlló family and is a perfect example of Catalan modernism. Every detail — from the wavy staircases to the vibrant tiles — is inspired by nature. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s back, offers great views over Passeig de Gràcia. I booked tickets online (around €30–€35) and still waited about 20–30 minutes to get in, so I’d definitely recommend buying skip-the-line tickets or going early in the morning. Inside, the audio guide is fantastic and really helps you understand Gaudí’s vision and his use of light and ventilation in every room. It’s busy, but completely worth it. I am not big fan of this type of art or architecture however it was an unforgettable experience.

Casa Batlló is a true testament to Antoni Gaudí's genius and creativity, showcasing his ability to blend architecture with nature and art. Located in the heart of Barcelona, this modernist masterpiece stands out with its vibrant colors, organic shapes, and intricate details that draw visitors in from the moment they arrive. One of the most striking features of Casa Batlló is its façade, adorned with a mosaic of colorful tiles that resemble the scales of a dragon, a nod to the legend of Saint George. The undulating lines and whimsical shapes give the building a fluidity that feels alive, embodying Gaudí’s philosophy of design inspired by natural forms. The balconies, resembling masks, add a playful character to the exterior, inviting admiration from passersby. Inside, the experience only gets better. The open spaces and natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Gaudí’s attention to detail is evident in the custom furniture, stained glass windows, and the unique layout that encourages movement and exploration. The central atrium, with its blue gradient tiles, mimics the colors of the sea and sky, further connecting the interior with the natural world. Visiting Casa Batlló is not just about observing architecture; it’s about experiencing a piece of art that tells a story. Gaudí’s innovative use of materials and structural techniques pushes the boundaries of conventional design, making Casa Batlló a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, art, or culture. It’s a celebration of creativity that continues to inspire and captivate all who enter.

Visiting the Sagrada Família was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. You see photos everywhere, but nothing compares to standing in front of it and realizing how enormous and detailed it really is. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, construction started in 1882 and it’s still not finished but it's coming to an end. There’s something amazing about seeing a building that’s been growing for more than a century and continues to evolve with each generation continuing Gaudi's vision. Every part of it tells a story: the Nativity Façade is full of life and nature, while the Passion Façade is dramatic and emotional. Inside, the light through the stained-glass windows looks magical — it changes color throughout the day and fills the space with warmth, peace and wonderful colours. Even with all the crowds, the atmosphere is calm and awe-inspiring. It really feels like a place where art, faith, and nature come together. It's one of the most beautiful landmarks on the world. Book tickets online in advance and go early in the morning if you want to avoid long lines. And if you can, climb one of the towers — the view over Barcelona is unforgettable.

The Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona is one of the most extraordinary architectural masterpieces in the world. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, it perfectly combines faith, art, and innovation. The intricate details of the façade, inspired by nature and biblical stories, are breathtaking, while the interior feels almost otherworldly, filled with colorful light streaming through the stained-glass windows. The atmosphere inside is both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Although the basilica is still under construction, this adds a unique charm, witnessing a living piece of history being completed. Visiting the Sagrada Família is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must-see in Barcelona.

The Sagrada Familia is incredible. We did a guided tour which was great for a couple reasons. One, we got to walk pass the line with our guide which saved us time. Also, our guide was able to give us so many details about the structure we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. We went during the Golden Hour, which is when the sun is setting and the light shines through the stain glass, creating a Golden light. The details in the structure from the outside to the inside is spectacular. Highly recommend getting tickets way in advance so you don't miss out on the Sagrada Familia.

We had a guided tour. We don't normally do this but in this case it was necessary. The guide was informative amusing and personable. As for the Sagrada Familia itself, quite simply WOW! It was everything we had been told and so much more. The explanations of Gaudi's reasoning for the various aspects of the design brought the whole building into focus. It is truly an experience. The company we used was The Tour Guy. If all their guides are as good as ours you cannot go wrong. It may seem costly but IMHO it's worth it.

When in Barcelona, you have to visit the masterpiece of Gaudí. Book your tickets in advance and also get a guided tour. It will be a tour of around two hrs and your guide will explain about each and everything. This place is not just a church it’s a masterpiece of human kind. This place is an experience that you must do. I will recommend to visit either early in morning at the time of sunrise or in evening around 4pm at sunset. You will experience the place at its best and you will able to see the importance of time and light in the church. It’s the best architecture i have ever seen. Must book your tickets at-least 20 days in advance and also choose the tower access for the best views in city.

The Basilica of the Sagrada Família is truly one of the most awe-inspiring sites in the world and ​s​hould be on your must-see ​ list in Barcelona. No photos can capture the feeling of standing inside and seeing the light pour through the stained-glass windows—it’s breathtaking. The blend of color, geometry, and symbolism in Gaudí’s design is unlike anything else. Every column and carving feels purposeful, telling a story that connects nature, faith, and art. We booked ​a​ guided tour in advance, which made entry smooth and stress-free. ​The tours have a dedicated line making clearing security and entering the Basilica easy and highly recommended ​for the information provided by the guides making the experience more memorable​. Allow at least ​60-90 minutes to fully take it in, and don’t rush. Whether you’re religious or not, this is a place that inspires reflection and wonder.​ You are welcome to sit and reflect in one of the pews or simply rest your feet. You can buy tickets to view Barcelona from the top or visit the basement for more history and the gift shop. Unlike any church or basilica you will see.

Magnificent structure! I have visited Barcelona three times, and during my second visit, I had the chance to explore the interior as well. Both the inside and outside are truly unique. It’s an amazing experience to examine the figures on the exterior one by one. The ticket includes an audio guide, and by downloading the Sagrada Familia app to your phone, you can access a step-by-step audio guide that explains both the exterior and interior of the building. By the way, I recommend purchasing your ticket a week or two before your trip.

The buildings are great, but you can see them from the street, from the main entrance, so it's not worth buying a ticket. It's true that the park has other beautiful places than the well known Gaudi's buildings, but we wanted to visit it for this only reason and we left disappointed

If Gaudi knew his masterpieces would be turned into a tourist trap THIRSTING for money, he would be disgusted. I bought the tickets. Had an accident, couldn't attend exactly at the time that I had scheduled the tickets. They couldn't do anything. Not even get me a discount. Come on, do better. Ok, bought new tickets. The park is interesting, Gaudi never misses. Is it worth it paying 18 euros? Of course not. Stand outside the gates and you will see 95% of everything worth seeing. The workers are unprepared. There are so many nice things to see in Barcelona, if you don't have a lot of time, don't bother coming here.

Nice place to go for a walk, because in the city there is not much of a green areas around. But be aware that there is a lot of stairs in the park. So if you are coming with a stroller, that could be a challenge for you. Also be ready for a lot of people. It was difficult to find a quiet spot around the park. You can see nice architecture and if you are lucky you can find a spot on the sun and just relax for a bit.

Make sure to buy your tickets online beforehand or you likely won’t get in. Entrance fee is a little steep for what it is but nevertheless, still a great Gaudi experience. The place gets overly crowded so that definitely takes away from the overall experience.

We found the place amazingly innovating and also harmonically beautiful. Gaudi created a wonderous living space, full of hidden spots, making the journey delightful. I recommend booking a tour guide, as this adds to the whole experiance!

Was a very interesting place to walk around to see Gaudí genius at work. However, it can’t match up with his other masterpiece, Sagrada Família. Nothing much does. Not even close ! In my opinion but worth a walk through but beware it’s 18 Eyries each overall around and some of the inside park attractions are extra. I added some pics of the more popular spots in this park. Enjoy ! Nov 2025

Park Güell is a breathtaking place to visit! It’s definitely a must-see location during your visit to Barcelona!!! The unique architecture, colorful mosaics, and beautiful natural surroundings makes the whole experience unforgettable. The views of Barcelona from the park are stunning,l! Honestly, every corner of the park feels magical. The park perfectly captures Gaudí’s creativity and charm. I visited the park with a walking tour, which was amazing and worth every penny!

A quick photographic opportunity on a flying visit whilst exploring the Costa Brava. We parked about a 10-15 minute walk further inland, stopped for an ice-cream, which considering it's the height of the peak summer season was at a price one can expect €9 for two ice creams and a bottle of water. The beach was crowded. So we decided to walk around the castle walls and take a couple of photos.

A must-visit historical site, rich with culture and stories from the past. The area is lively and full of charm, with plenty of souvenir shops, ice cream stands, and restaurants—perfect for a relaxed day trip. K-drama fans will especially appreciate this spot as a famous lookout point featured in The Legend of the Blue Sea (Lee Min Ho, Jun Ji Hyun) We were lucky to enjoy the stunning scenery on a beautiful day, which made the experience even more memorable.

It's not a particularly special attraction, and the beach along the coast isn't very long or large as compared with LA, Thailand or others. There are a number of restaurants and small shops, though. Honestly, it's definitely not a must-see. If you have more time in Barcelona, ​​it's worth considering.

What a picturesque place to be . Very easy uphill hike . Well marked . Amazing views of Mediterranean Sea on your left and beautiful beach line and town on the other , you just can’t miss this lovely hike. Carry some water , hat and also a light jacket . We went around 17.30 and it was a nice sunny day of 15th May 2025 . Yet the wind on the top was so gusty that I had to put in my hoodie to keep myself warm . The weather was pleasant but wind will sweep you off your feet. You see great views from top and also cute village lanes to walk at some points. You will come across beautiful statues and also the light house. The lighthouse opens in stipulated timings . We could not enter but see from outside . Views from that point are extra ordinary. Spring brought several wild flowers blooming and made the views and rocks look more beautiful

Tossa De Mar is a classy town, and if you go, amble through the streets and then ascend by the steps in town or by the beach. The climb is steady, and there are stunning views all round. The lighthouse at the top is well worth the extra steps with the stunning vista at the top is unforgettable.

Beautiful landscape and place to visit. Highly recommend. Love fairly easy hike to the top of the castle with a lovely restaurant to take a break and enjoy the views…

Amazing place, very nice city. Free of charge, but worth your time. Huge complex of ancient walls with gardens. Very picturesque. You should visit if you are nearby

In March the water looks so clean! The view is absolutely beautiful. The bad thing is that there is a lot of trash in beach it would be nice to clean it up.

Nice beach looks like sand but is made up of small little rocks. Be careful with children. The sea becomes deep after a few meters, and waves are strong. Don't hire the rip-off sunloungers there €8 each plus €8 for umbrella! Bring a towel/blanket instead. Beach gets very busy on sunny days. There are some free public toilets, but be ready to see some dirty supprises in them like I did! 🤮

Great Beach This is beach is quite narrow compared to other beaches in Spain but it is very long. This is also packed in summer almost unbearable, but in winter (and the off season) is amazing and really nice. It has all the amenities you could expect and is super close to lots of bars and restaurants.

Beautiful beach! Lots of cute fishies to see under the water. The water is nice and very clear, but in some areas it’s a bit murky and polluted. Every morning (very early) a huge machine goes around the beach to clean everything. Every now and then I spotted a jellyfish, but no dangerous ones. Beware! There are currently no showers at the beach, if you want to clean yourself, you can bring a cup and some water from the tab near the toilets. The beach is made out of small rocks, which is fine, but it can get quite hot in the sun. (Ps. Using wedge heels or shoes with thick soles is great to avoid the rocks) near the beach there are small kiosk shaped buildings who sell great slush or ice cream. The beach is quite busy, near the castle it’s a bit more calm. On the completely other side there is a spot with very low water (last video), which is great for kids!

A family trip with children. Beautiful beach. Accommodation and food can be expensive in high season. But clean water and clean beach. Felt very safe there. Water world is 15 minutes away if anyone fancies. Will travel there again.

Brilliant sandy beach But be careful if going for a swim as it gets really deep so close to shore Usually less crowded on the left and right hand side Arrive early to get best spot especially on a weekend

This beach is very Nice and peaceful for family or friends . There are sun loungers and parasols available for rent on-site for 8€ each. The water is clear, and there is parking available, but it fills up quickly, so it's better to arrive early to find a spot. I highly recommend it

This outlet has a great selection of stores, offering a variety of brands. Sometimes it feels like the prices aren’t discounted much, but if you look carefully, you can find some excellent deals. Each store also handles VAT refunds, which is very convenient for travelers. There’s a spacious underground parking lot with electric car charging stations, making it easy to visit by car. I wouldn’t recommend coming here hungry, though – the restaurants are quite poor and always crowded, so you’ll likely spend a long time waiting in line. Overall, for shopping, this is a fantastic place and probably the best outlet experience near Barcelona.

La Roca Village is a factory outlet located just a 30-minute drive from Barcelona. You can reach it by taking bus 405 from Ectacion Barcelona Nord for €18 round trip. Like its other sister company, under the Bicester Collection, I recommend this factory outlet because it houses many well-known, exclusive brands. The items available are seasonal and vary depending on individual tastes. Some stores sell their products at the same prices as their store on Passeig de Gràcia, but don't worry, they only carry select classics. If you're lucky, you might find products at very low special prices. Try your luck!

Very nice outlet where you can find affordable designers' brands for all ages. There are many busses going from Barcelona to this outlet every hour so it's easy to access it even if it's far from the center of Barcelona.

Loved this place! Great deals on high end brands like Gucci, Prada, Tori Burch, Lacoste, and many more!

One of the best destination in Barcelona Roca Village outletsver affordable prices for the best international brands for women, men, and kids. It's only 35 min drive from Barcelona You can take uber or by bus or drive yourself

La Roca Village in Barcelona is a fantastic shopping destination with a wide range of premium brands at great prices. You can enjoy delicious food and amazing sangria at various restaurants, making it the perfect spot to relax and recharge between shopping sprees. A must-visit for any shopper!

a famous luxury outlet. Different selection of lifestyle and accessory brands. Visitors enjoy a premium shopping experience, along with dining options.

Beatiful views, nice walking trails, The basilica and Black Madonna are a must when you visit here, you can take the funicular up the mountain from the visitor center. The outside parking is a bit of a walk and costs 7 euros. You can also park under the basilica for 10 euros for the first 3 hours or for 14 euroa for over 3 hours and up to 24 hours. Convenient for those who have trouble walking or finding parking outside.

Beautiful place. Nestled 1500m above Cataluña in the mountains. Makes you wonder, given its location, who could manage to complete such magnificent structures! I was a little late in the day so only ventured half way up to where the Basílica and the shrine is located. You can feel the history/essence in the air as you sit quietly taking in your surroundings. Also, here is where the Virgin Of Montserrat is located. After passing the patron saint of Cataluña, you can choose to veer off and enter a stained glass, oval shaped prayer room. DON'T skip out....well worth taking a seat and just reflecting for a couple of minutes. Family friendly. Lots of outdoor space. The views, well you just have to see for yourself!

Magnifcent monument. Must see. I recomend train from Barça and cable car. You can buy combined ticket. Easy. Tickets for Basilica and other are available on spot without waiting. At 13.00 hrs every working day there is a short concert from Boys choir. Must se and listen. It's beautifull. Like Walking on clouds. After you must touch the Earth in Black Madona right hand. At last I recenzent visita a wiewpoint at St. Mathew's cross. On spot can be chilly. This is the place that I'll deffinetly visit again.

One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Barcelona Spain! Highly recommend everyone to come! We took the train cable car up to the mountain! Not many tourists were there! The views are absolutely breathtaking The cathedral was sooo beautiful and peaceful! ☺️

We went here on a tour and I was so happy we did. I loved it that the vendors as you approach the monastery are descendants of those who sold the same cheeses and products decades if not eons ago. The Black Madonna was an inspiring experience and we really enjoyed the art museum as well. I have never seen it even referenced but it was amazing.

This is a must-do day trip! We booked a small group tour via Viator. Our guide, a local, took us by train to Montserrat station, where we then took a cable car to the summit of the mountain. She gave us a great tour. We saw and were able to touch the black Madonna. We hiked to the St. Michael cross and were blown away by the views!

Had a great experience visiting Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the place had such a peaceful and spiritual vibe. It’s one of those spots where you really feel connected to nature and history at the same time. Definitely worth the trip if you’re visiting Barcelona! ⛰️🙏

Well preserved medieval village. The tower is worth climbing to appreciate the views. Info panels around the village are also in English.

Nice people who can inform you about the most beautiful things in the neighborhood.

A tourist information Centre and a must see tower in Girona .... not to mis it when we are around there...

Pals is an amazing place and the tourist office staff were very helpful.

Very helpful information for Pals and surrounding area.

Loved it

Amazing

Beautiful walk with amazing panoramic views over Girona’s old town and cathedral. Peaceful, historic and completely free, this is a must-see spot, especially at sunset.

We took a day trip by train from Barcelona to Girona, and it was absolutely worth it. There’s an audio tour available for the interior of the church, while exploring the outside grounds is free. Not only did we get to see filming locations from Game of Thrones, but we also enjoyed wandering the property and taking in the spectacular views.

Girona wall is unmissable even f you are going on a day trip. It’s easy to walk & you must walk it if you visit the old town . During my 2 weeks stay I climbed it several times from 3 different routs , south & notrth . It goes through old town and offers get b’views of cities and observation points. You will love the detailing of wall with its lovely little windows or red stone or steps and small squares to wait and enjoy views. You can climb at some places the small metal circular staircases to have higher views of the city or skip it altogether and continue walking . It is bit narrow but 2 ppl can easily pass at a time. The height of wall is well maintained without any risk of falling or slipping . O realm feet pleasant experience and short hike at a historic place, definitely a must to do . It’s free completely.

We stopped in Girona just for a day on our way back from Morocco, and walking along the Muralles was one of the highlights. The views over the city and nearby hills are stunning, and the historical atmosphere is really strong here. It happened to be during the flower festival, which made everything feel extra magical. It's a beautiful mix of nature, history, and peaceful city vibes. Would definitely come back to explore more. 📌 Interesting fact: The Girona city walls (Muralles de Girona) date back to Roman times and were expanded during the medieval period. Today, you can walk long stretches of the restored walls for free and enjoy panoramic views of the historic center and the surrounding area.

Free and magnificent views: a must do in Girona. There's also a peaceful park at the end of the murallas where you can hear a guitarist. Get your trainers ready: there are lots of stairs and some parts are a bit slippery.

We walked along the base of the wall for a while, then used one of the access points to go up and walk along the top. Nice views of the city and the hills beyond from several spots.

very nice city and the walls are very cool it reminds me of a movie and it’s a great place to explore and spend the day. This is a filming location for game of thrones so it is very medieval and cool looking.

Don’t walk run to this iconic Cathedral. The steps are wonderful to sit and people watch and soak in the Game of Thrones feeling. Inside is grand. The cloisters in the garden are lovely to sit and cool off. I bought the 3 in 1 ticket so no need to line up… go to the tourism office in Girona first. They are so helpful. Quite wonderful.

Lovely cathedral and nice to see where they filmed some of the game of thrones. The walk on the wall surrounding it is quite something and worth doing. If you more in depth information it's probably worth going on a small guided tour.

Visiting Girona Cathedral was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Spain. Climbing the steep steps to see its stunning Gothic façade and elegant Baroque details, I knew it was going to be unforgettable. Inside, the cathedral’s nave—the widest Gothic nave in the world—left me completely in awe. The way light streamed through the stained-glass windows and highlighted the intricate stonework made me feel like I was walking through centuries of history. What fascinated me even more were the stories hidden within these walls. The cathedral has witnessed pivotal moments in history, from the medieval struggles during the Reconquista to its role as a religious and political center in Catalonia. I was intrigued to learn that it was originally built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, and its construction spanned several centuries, reflecting the changing styles and influences over time. Beautiful cloisters, which date back to the 11th century, have seen everything from daily monastic life to historical ceremonies that shaped the region. Inside, there is so much to see. The main altar, with its stunning Gothic retablo, is breathtaking, and the Treasury houses priceless religious artifacts, including chalices, reliquaries, and medieval manuscripts. The Museu d’Art Sacre attached to the cathedral showcases beautiful liturgical garments and intricate paintings. I was also captivated by the fantastic rose window at the entrance and the Baroque pulpit, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Legend adds an extra layer of magic to the cathedral. They say that on quiet nights, the ghostly figure of a white-clad woman—known as the “White Lady of Girona”—wanders the cloisters, mourning a lost love. Locals claim she was a noblewoman whose secret romance ended tragically, and her spirit now lingers, protecting the cathedral and its treasures. This add a pinch of mystery to the history of this magnificent church. Climbing the tower gave me a breathtaking view of Girona’s old town, the Onyar River, and the surrounding hills—it really makes you appreciate how this cathedral has stood as a guardian over the city for centuries.For anyone visiting Girona, the cathedral is not just a sight to see—it’s a journey through time, mystery, and culture. Entrance cost €7.50 and its well worth it.

This is a must see in Girona, from its Gothic architecture to its history and modern-day GOT references. There is something for everyone! While a bit crowded, it never felt overwhelming and we were able to enjoy the climb up the stairs and the views.

A quite amazing place. Only €7:50 to enter and includes a guide handset. The cathedral is on of the most amazing one I have seen, with lots to see and learn about. It’s incredibly beautiful inside and out. Highly recommended

A must visit if in Girona especially if you are a game of thrones fan. Jaime rode his horse partially up the stairs which is very impressive. Word is it took 2 weeks to train the horse. Inside is a small museum and amazing architecture for your entry fee. Views from top of stairs are really cool.

I had a fairly negative experience when visiting this cathedral which was a shame. I was approached by some men on the street and shouted at, which took away from the natural beauty and atmosphere of the cathedral, i was warned by locals not to be in the area by myself and they walked me back to the centre of Girona. I think if you are in a group or with a friend it is definitely worth a visit, I was just unlucky, and maybe be a bit more alert if you are a solo female traveller too!

Visited without booking and we could not get tickets to enter house as it was fully booked so recommend booking before going. We visited the gardens though, ticket 6 euro and well worth a visit as it has a lot of Dali's touches. Also bar and beach for a beer, coffee and stroll amongst the boats.

I bought our tickets about two months in advance so we were ready. What we were not ready for was how cool the house was!! We had a friendly guide where took us through and spoke English and French to the rest. I loved that they had lockers free of charge available for larger bags. Also the Caffe by the entrance has a cute balcony on the top floor and tables outside. It was uplifting to soak up the local atmosphere.

We loved our visit to the Dali house and gardens. Booking tickets in advance is recommended since groups are limited to 8 people at a time. The guides provided explanations in English, Spanish, Catalan, and French.

Great tour guide who speaks several languages fluently. Interesting place. Need to book tickets and time for your visit ahead of time. We booked a couple weeks in advance.

Ok, first I will answer to all 1⭐️: buy your tickets in advance and be on time. Museum is an old theatre restored and some corridors are just to narrow to accommodate more people. About museum: after seeing lots of museums all over the world, not even Dali fan, I have to say- you have to visit it.

Well, I will say that the staff here is super friendly and helpful. We had a little ticket slip-up and they really came through and helped us out. The tour guide was good too. But wow, Dali's house is the most ugly and unimpressive thing I've ever seen. His artistic nature didn't really translate into the property as much as I'd expected, and to be honest it's mostly just a lot of... trash. And bad taxidermy. The garden is nice, for the trees and plants. And the wife's dome room is interesting. So, there's that. Anyway, don't feel bad if you miss this on your trip 😅

Worth a visit, but you probably will like it a lot more if you are a Dali fan, which, alas, I am not. He was creative and original for sure, but also kind of an odd and controversial figure, which becomes plain in the tour of his house. Architecturally really interesting home in a beautiful and simple fishing village.

Great lighthouses and the easternmost point of Spain! 🇪🇸 we enjoyed the sunrise. Beware of the time schedule to enter with your own car. Road is a bit narrow at times but manageable.

Beautiful view! There’s a bus that takes you all the way to the lighthouse. You can also drive up yourself if you have a reservation at the restaurant. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as the road is very narrow and buses need to pass by, leaving very little room to manoeuvre. From the top, you can also walk down the road to a small beach. The final stretch involves a bit of a climb down, so keep that in mind!

Nice little light house. Private cars are normally not allowed to drive there but we saw alot of cars driving to and from there. The shuttle bus goes often enough in summer. The hike there is nice and easy to follow (despite the hot weather)

If you’re in Cadaqués you have to take at least half a day to go to the lighthouse by bicycle or hiking. Impressive views and beautiful flora.

The hike here was worth it several times over. Good swimming options along the way. Earned restaurants at the lighthouse with nice staff and good libations make up for a long trek with the kids. Driving here, I would not recommend, would feel very underwhelming, and you miss the beauty of the unique stone formations of folded volcanic rock.

Cap de Creus is stunning, you can see the surroundings in the video, restaurant service, food and welcome top notch. To sit here with the great seafood and view is highly recommended.

The place is truly beautiful, but be careful! IMPORTANT NOTICE ACCESS REGULATIONS FOR CAP DE CREUS NATURAL PARK Access is restricted for unauthorized vehicles every day from 09:30 to 21:30. Fine is €200. There are signs, but they can be easy to miss if you're not aware in advance. Make sure to check the access rules before visiting!

It's a very picturesque Romanesque bridge. Free to cross and nicely lit up at night. The town of Besalú is nice and it is worth staying overnight if you can.

Beautiful medieval old town worth visiting if you want a day trip from Barcelona. It's a nice change from the coastal cities and has different things to explore than the usual beach vibes.

Impressive view and cizy village for a stroll. Good value terraces. A must see. Half day is enough with lunch or drinks

Lovely spot in Besalu with the perfect vantage point of aeeing the medieval city and the Besalu bridge. Our dogs also loved walking around

Pont de Besalú is the iconic bridge connecting historic Besalú to the rest of Cataluña. The history of the bridge’s origins are somewhat unknown - however documentation of the bridge is known to exist from early in the 11th century. Defensive towers were added to it later and yet to this day it welcomes visitors from around the world to and dazzles them as the visitors enter historic Besalú.

A visit to pretty Besalu is a must. It's very picturesque, great bridge and a beautiful church. Wish I'd had time to spend longer there.

There are plenty of information signs around the town covering the bridge, the old 10th century tower ruins and even early electrical hydro power plants.

If you're interested in surrealism, a visit to the Dalí Museum in Figueres is a must. I've been there before, ages ago. But I enjoyed it this time even more. I guess there is no doubt about the greatness of Dalí's extraordinary and astonishing work. We ordered the tickets online before. It's recommended. We parked right at the Museum in a parking garage (payed 3,30 € per hour). My son is disabled so he didn't had to pay the entry fee. We booked it in advance and it was no problem with a german severely disabled certificate at the entrance of the museum. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Will visit again next time I will be in Catalonia.

Fantastic place! Got a fast pass skip the line ticket and got in right away, definitely recommend doing this, as even in off season it was suuuuper busy. The art and architecture is amazing. Lots of different rooms and areas to view and take in all the imagery. There are a few spaces to sit down, but could do with some more chairs around though, especially at it takes a few hours to really take everything in and visit all the rooms. In terms of accessibility, best to check with the venue itself to ensure it’s suitable for you. Some ramps are very steep and stairs are quite spiralling. Not sure how many tour groups are allowed in at each time slot but there were so many at the time I went and they rush and push through quickly through the narrow hallways, so be aware of this as well. Really fun day, nice walk through town to get there and lots of places to grab a drink, snack or coffee before or after your visit.

Paintings, drawings and ’flat’ art very good, sculptures and other works less interesting to me. Entry tickets are timed so buy when you arrive then join the line. There is no signage to give a structured tour of the museum, so you have to wander around and make sure you don’t miss anything. Too crowded, people always in front of you, pushing phones in front of you and snapping away, or standing posing. In those situations it’s hard to take in and appreciate what you’re seeing.

This museum takes you on a trip- a wonderful exploration into Dalís world and life. It's a very special place, created with so much heart and soul. Something everybody should experience. We've been there on a sunday in october, without reservations and got tickets without waiting. The rooms and floors inside are a bit smaller, so it was a little busy, but nevertheless, it was enough space to enjoy everything. There's a lot to discover, and watching every painting and installation closely you could easily spend the whole day there. But you can also see everything in about 1 or 2 hours. An unforgettable experience. Gaudeix :)

A must-see museum if you love Dali’s work. Even though it was busy, I still enjoyed taking my time and appreciating the artwork and sculptures. Get your tickets online in advance and be prepared to be mind-blown!

A place you must visit and see. Art enriches your consciousness and gives you the opportunity to be a better person. I recommend it. An extraordinary place where art and everyday life are clearly visible. It's wonderful that Spaniards care so much about their heritage.

The Dali Museum was the highlight of our time in eastern Spain! Since we visited in November, the museum was not packed with visitors. To see Dali’s work up close was magical! This is a “must see” when visiting Spain!

Beautiful stretch of beach sand a bit gritty but its great for the family, just watch young kids with the water.

Great and beautiful beach.

Super 😁👍

Nice walk😁

Argeles-Colioure

Super

Nothing special

GESLOTEN/CLOSED/FERME This site is closed for public due to safety problems. You can't get in! On maps you see that the canyoning is closed since 2019. So the reviews of last year and everything are false or very late reviews. I can't give a notice to google about the site beeing closed!

Great afternoon. It's a three km walk (1.5 there and back). My son, six, really enjoyed it. My daughter, four, was very tired by the end. It's a beautiful landscape. Cold and slippery though; wear decent shoes and a long sleeve.

Have been closed for 3 years as part of it has collapsed. Closed indefinitely

Permanantly closed with no sign of reopening

Excel'lent

(Translated by Google) Walk in these gorges in 2015 Very good memory, safety level, at no time did we feel in danger, equipped with more helmets what more could you ask for (were provided at reception) Very beautiful route (it's a round trip not a loop) along the water with beautiful landscapes surrounded by nature. No difficulty the path is in great condition the footbridges also no time limit you go at your own pace . We really enjoyed doing it. (Original) Promenade faite dans ces gorges en 2015 Très bon souvenir, niveau sécurité , à aucun moment nous ne nous sommes sentis en danger ,équipé en plus de casques que demander de plus.(étaient fournis à l'accueil) Très beau parcours (c'est un aller-retour pas une boucle)au fil de l'eau avec de beaux paysages en pleine nature.Pas de difficulté le chemin est en super état les passerelles également pas de temps imposé vous allez à votre rythme. Nous avons vraiment apprécié à faire.

(Translated by Google) I called last week and got confirmation that it was permanently closed due to landslides. It's a shame no one is funding its restoration because it must have been magnificent. I'm only giving it one star to say I'm disappointed to see it remain abandoned. (Original) J'ai appelé la semaine dernière et j'ai eu confirmation qu'il était définitivement fermé suite à des éboulements. Il est dommage que personne ne finance sa réhabilitation car cela devait être magnifique. Je mets une étoile seulement pour dire que je suis déçu de voir que cela reste à l'abandon.

Great to see what nature can form.. well worth a visit if you're anywhere nearby. Great photo opportunities of the rock formations plus artworks along the trail leading up to them. Pay a small fee of €5 at the visitor centre for tickets, also where ample parking and clean toilets are available..

A unique and beautiful place to visit if you are in the area. We followed directions on Google maps and found it quite easily. We arrived at 1pm on a Thursday in August and it was easy to park. Parking is free and they have toilets which are a good size and clean. There is a gift shop and friendly staff who can provide a free guide book in various languages. The shop sells ice cream/lollies but I didn't see a cafe. There is a short walk across the road for about 5-10 minutes to reach the main site, past some interesting metal sculpture, including a large dinosaur which kids will love. The main site itself is beautiful and great for photography. There is a lot of space for children to run around and explore and it all seemed safe. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place! If you've never been to places with naturally formed rock, like the grand canyon, this is impressive. There are plenty of parking spaces, right next to the ticket store. When buying tickets you will get a free flyer in the language of your choosing (I know they support at least French, English, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch). Children and students get a discount. The walk from the ticket store to the site is a little less than one kilometer. On this route there are artworks and vegetation. Unfortunately for us it was even dryer than usual, so there was no water next to the path for us. The fencing looks poorly maintained and could use some work. The site is advertised as an hour long experience (note: not an hour long walk, but a long hour sight), but if you're used to seeing sites like this and are not all too impressed by it, I can guarantee you it'll take less time.

Really worth the visit. Short walk from car park where their are picnic benches. Good for a half day visit with perhaps Castelnou in the same day. Very helpful staff make the visit complete.

Well signposted. Busier than we thought it would be slightly out of season. Well worth a visit. The small fee included a very informative guide in good English. Impressive rock formations well tucked away.

5 euro entry is well worth the protection of this beautiful site. Dogs are allowed. It's an easy 10 min walk from the carpark (which has toilets!) And a good visit inside. The lady at the ticket desk was friendly and informative. Recommend visiting as 10 out of 10.

It's a beautiful site! You can take amazing photos there. I've brought my younger brother to visite (I've been there multiple times) and he loved as well! It's a quick visit, you can do this and then go sight see somewhere else! 😉

Can't go inside the big building, but there are small entrance everywhere around where you can go in the little rooms. It's nice to see. Nice n cool in the basements so even on a hot day It's a nice place to see and visit.

A huge fortress, powerful walls, and an incredible number of different routes inside. The guide speaks a mixture of French and Spanish, but surprisingly, you understand everything. The services of a guide are included in the ticket price and it is definitely worth joining the tour, since you can only get to the upper floor with a guide. I recommend it!

Very well preserved fortification from the 15th century. Great way to learn about the past and the war between France and Spain. 10/10

The place looks impressive, but there is no English explanation and you need to walk around with a French speaking guide.

Quite breathtaking in its size and majesty. Huge thick walls and a fascinating history. The trebuchet and cannons on display are really interesting and we had the place to ourselves. Our 10 year old loved the games area which was a welcome distraction.

A magnificent fortress from the outside but access was quite restricted when we visited and inside it lacked the atmosphere of many other castles in the region. I could sit and look at the outside for hours, it is a wonderous building.

Fantastic day out for a sunny or rainy day. It is one of the largest and most impressive castles I have been to. There are loads of interactive games and animations for the children to enjoy. This castle is truly impressive and now offers translated guides and material in English and Spanish as well as French. There is a tour in French which is definitely worthwhile even if you don’t understand the language. €8 per adult and kids go free which is a bargain for the experience. A multi language audio guide would make it a five star experience.

Easy drive up to the car park. There is a lot more castle than what you see from below. Stunning views.

It is a difficult walk in the heat but the castle is beautiful. There are great views and the option of an audio guide you can get at the office near the car park. The castle was quiet and very pretty to see the wildlife which has taken over and the sound of birds. Would recommend but maybe on a cooler day :)

The hikes (there are two, one to the fortress and another to the chapel) are steep and beautiful. Hiking shoes are recommended for good reason. The views are spectacular. The history is fascinating, but you'll want to find it online or through an audio or individual guide. Take water.

It’s one of the 5 ‘sons of Carcassonne’ - the great ancient castles near the amazing city. This one is in the best condition and is at the most height within its ‘brothers’. Very interesting place to have a look.

Ah nice little historical tourist trap. The drive up is a workout for your car and bike. make sure your cooling works. Its a ruin and cost 7 euro to enter. After entering its about a 1.5km hike on a small rocky path which i don't think is suitable for people with knee or health issues.

Small hiking trail to the start of the castle (15min). And then did the whole of the location in about 1h15. Superb views with lots of castle parts still intact

So many castles and so many views. This region is magical if you love history and nature. We walked from the gravel car park halfway back to town and it was hard work in the heat. Even the last part from the kiosk is quite a walk but well worth the effort. These are probably the best remains of any of the Cathar castles we have visited and one immense view after another. Mix this one with Queribus and a visit to Cucugnan for a fantastic day.

We had a fantastic time at the Réserve Africaine de Sigean! The whole experience was very well organized and thoughtfully designed, giving us the feeling of being on a real African safari. Driving through the park in our own car was a big highlight – not only did it bring us up close to the animals in a unique and exciting way, but it was also a huge advantage with the 35°C heat. Being able to enjoy the experience comfortably from the car made a big difference, especially with kids. The staff were friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about the animals and their well-being. You can tell the reserve is run with care and professionalism. We truly enjoyed every part of the visit – from the drive-through safari to the walking areas. A perfect mix of adventure, education, and comfort. Highly recommended for families and nature lovers!

A very nice safari parc with a great variety of African wildlife. At some point I almost felt like being on a safari drive. The zoo part is quite small compared to other zoos but has some pretty cool features. I really liked the aviary concept with free roaming birds, sharing their space with alligators. Amazing.

We loved it here, we saw so many animals. They have everything from big five to birds and reptiles.

It was a really great experience, drive through the different parts of the Réserve Africaine and see a little of animals that you normally only can see in a normal zoo. After the tour with the car, you also have a different way where you can walk and see many animals. The food at the kiosk is pretty good. At the entrance we had to wait a bit, because they need to check the trunk before you enter and then you can buy the tickets easily at the entrance. To be honest I didn’t see a line where you could enter if you bought your tickets beforehand. Definitely a good thing you can do is to download the corresponding app. There you can easily check where you are and you get all the needed information from the app as well.

That’s a huge park with very respectful and friendly way of treating animals. There is enough space for them as I can see. It doesn’t feel like a zoo. It’s more a window to a wildlife sanctuary. Even in winter you can find a restaurant to have some food. Meanwhile the infrastructure is really nice and well planned. There are parking, rest rooms, shops - everything that you may need after a long trip to this place. For sure this experience is worth it.

A different experience of African wildlife. Make sure to buy tickets online for a flawless entry. First a tour through different park themes with your car, followed by a walking tour. Rich variety of animals in an enormous park, divided in different themes. Great to enjoy with family and children. A must when you’re in the neighborhood.

Very beautiful place to see the animals. We love flamingo and there are hundreds of flamingos here, with lots of other animals also. Such a great experience while driving among savage horses/ lions/ bears, etc. Love the trip so muchhhh !!!

It's nice but the queues are indescribable. I spent an hour and 10 minutes to boomerang and another hour to do the rapid rafting. You simply get tired while you wait and by the time you get to the top you're not in the mood anymore.The queue moves extremely slowly and it is not normal as I have been in other aqualands and no matter how crowded it was more than 20 minutes I didn't wait . The pool was full of hair, grass and filth. There should be a certain limit when it comes to hair to be caught in a bun, no long clothes which by the way today I saw a lady in long tights and t-shirt when she was swinging her kite in the boomerang although the sign with the forbidden symbole was right in her nose and of course the lifeguard did not say anything . Well, is it normal like that? Either we all respect some rules or... not to mention the phones in the toboggan what are they doing there?

It was a fun day in aqualamd cap d'adge. Best was the. Morning, where nöt so man peoble were around, and therefore only short queues. Lunch was only Hamburger and a bit expensive för the whole family.

A great day out for the family. Loads of slides and pools to enjoy with something for everyone. No parking for aqualand itself but instead there are town parking lots literally just a 5min walk away HOWEVER BEWARE of you are in a campervan or something taller as these carparks are height restricted to 2.25mts!!! Our van is exactly 2.25m the tall and wouldn't fit in the main carparks ... after squeezing under one barrier we then couldn't fit under the exit barrier (this was actually lower than the entrance barrier) so had to go out the wrong way 🤦‍♂️ After trying several other places we eventually found a carpark where the height barrier was open so we got parked up ok in the end and had about a 10min walk to the water park. Not sure if we would have been so lucky had this car park not had it barrier open. The park itself is clean and great fun. Be prepared to queue for rides and keep applying the sunscreen as some queues can be quite exposed to the sun. Food fairly expensive as to be expected at a theme park and we found that the burgers, pizza, e t stopped being serv d at around 4pm. Highly recommended though and well worth a visit!!

A good day out for a while family or just couples/friends. Reasonable prices, well maintained and good food available. Tickets are slightly cheaper if you book in advance online.

This park used to be what is best on the market about 15 years ago. But this new visit left us truly disappointed. The price is quite high for the size of the park and they make you spit additional fees for absolutely everything (locker box, parking, lounge chairs...) The ride "Surf Racer" is really dangerous and should be revised, we saw so many people leaving it injured. There are almost no family rides for 4 to 6 year old kids. But the biggest disappointment came with the FAST PASS. It basically doubles up the price of the entrance, but with no discount and even younger kids that are not paying the entrance need to pay for it!!! And what do you get for it? A separate queue for the inflatables... and that's it! You have to queue all the way to the top of the ride like everybody else. The gain might be about 7 to 10 minutes out of 35-40 minutes total wait time. And not even all the rides offer it (the Anaconda does not have a Fast Pass queue) It's a total rip-off. In the end the kids had fun but we could not even make all the rides even with our fast pass and I the value for money is revolting.

I will start by saying obviously its August so expected it to be busy. But..... Bad. .You have to que twice for each slide once to collect a raft/float and again to actually cue for the slide and both ques are not short. .Most stairs to slides are cut into 2 which makes it difficult to actually carry raft safely up them. .I went with my 2 sons aged 10 & 6 and most slides are 2 persons and have to have 2 persons so was unable to go on as i cant leave a child waiting around 40 minutes while i que with the other. .Food was over prices . Lack off shaded areas .€7 euro for a tiny locker €14 for a bigger locker Good. . Staff are helpful and very nice . Very clean

It's not the most pleasant experience. The food was expensive and tasted worse than McDonald's. The fast pass was almost as much as the tickets, but everyone was skipping the line anyways so I wasted my money on that. Also, on the very first slide my partner and I fell out of the tube and banged our head, me till I bleed, and no staff were at the bottom to even notice or care.

Worth the walk for this historical spectacle. It's about half an hour for the able bodied, with nice views back across L'Orb and to the Cathedral. For the less mobile, the little train takes you from the Cathedral to the locks and return with interesting facts about the locality en route. Toilets and cafe at the top of the locks, plus option to take a canal boat trip. Best booked in advance in busy periods.

Absolutely worth visiting. Buy a ticket for the canal tour. It will take you up the locks which is a nice experience. Beautiful area and go into Beziers after. Visiting the locks is a half day trip. The boat tour is 1 hour and 15 mins.

A masterpiece still in operation, these 9 locks that follow one another, you should not hesitate to visit this place. In excellent condition and very well laid out, you can follow the paths along the canal and arrive near the very beautiful and old bridge. From Toulouse, the Canal du Midi reaches Béziers via a 54-kilometer-long reach (a section of canal without locks). Over this distance, the canal remains at an altitude of 31.54 meters. But at Fonseranes, the canal must descend a steep 25-meter drop to reach the Orb, a necessary passage for boats heading to Agde. To establish the connection between the canal and the Orb, an extraordinary lock was built. Thanks to a successful initial experiment in Castelnaudary, Riquet knew that the secret lay in a lock with multiple chambers. Faced with the significant difference in altitude, Riquet and his works director decided to add eight chambers, twice as many as those of the Saint-Roch lock in Castelnaudary ! Work on the Fonseranes lock began in 1667 and was completed in 1680. The structure is impressive! At 315 meters long and with a total drop of 21.18 meters, this lock ladder is the largest ever built in France ...

A rather exceptional engineering feat built in the 17th century to create a navigable route from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. In addition to being a spectacular series of locks in short succession, the canal has a tunnel, several cool bridges including one for the canal to cross above the river. I recommend obtaining details about the history to appreciate it best. Boat tours are long if you take the roundtrip, might be best to join a tour only do the way back down, going towards the Mediterranean.

A wonderful feat of engineering. Lovely and informative video in the information centre ( 3 Euro) Watching the boats pass through the locks, very interesting - especially when one of the gates won't shut. Pleasent walk from Beziers, through the old port area, which is going to be restored and across the old town bridge.

Been here a coupke of times before. Now you can only walk on one side of them but still nice and its actually better for taking photos without a lot of people.

A dream come true passing through the Fonseranes. Absolutely a marvel and one of the best parts of the Canal du Midi. It takes about 45 minutes to pass through with timed entry in the morning and afternoon depending on direction.

There's scaffolding up with works going on (it looks like wheelchair access works). So on arrival, we weren't sure if it was open, but it is !! We followed signs in the town centre for the castle-Parking, only to find ourselves going round in a circle 3 times !!! Luckily it's Easter Mon and not very busy, so we found a spot for the camper in the middle of the two main town roads. €12.50 each entry. Great castle, lots of steps once at the top. There's a long stone ramp up/down, or a lift - with several floors gor the museum. The castle itself has 'displays ' on throughout the day, blacksmith, stone mason, weapons, etc. Unfortunately very little information in English (but, of course, totally acceptable - we're in France !!!). It's a fair bit of walking - first up the the castle, and then once uo there. The towers are fabulous, but cares needed as people are going to pass up/down on spiral staircases. Loads to see in the museum - excellent value. Gift shop, toilets (no cafe). Hero exhibition upstairs is very interesting.

Great castle. Now . It is a steep old climb and your legs will be sore but it is well worth it. Going up the tower is a bit scary but well worth the view. There is so much to do here you would need a whole day to get it all done.

Perfect for stepping into a previous time in history and experiencing what life might have been like back when the castle was in its prime. It’s in amazing condition with different stalls and people explaining weapons, blacksmithing, stonework, and other interesting ideas. The demonstrations are all in French but you can ask questions in English if you want to further expand your knowledge. There’s a museum connected as well but we didn’t have time to explore that section. Give yourself ample time if you want to explore both the museum and the castle itself. A great place to bring kids or even as an adult if you enjoy history and medieval times. 🏰

Amazing day! Wish we had longer! We spent four hours with kids 4 and 5. They loved it! The guide at the armor and weapons stop was amazing!! We spent over an hour there. He even spoke pretty good English. Gift shop had good toys for the kids too.

This castle is definitely geared towards kids with weapons displays and artificial castle décor throughout. There isn’t a ton of high level historic information. The views are nice but there are a lot of steps / steep pathways. I guess I recommend coming in a cooler month than June 😎

Very well maintained medieval castle on top of a hill. It is quite a walk to get to the entrance and then an evening longer climb up cobblestones to the castle itself after the museum. The views however are breath taking. It was not as busy ai had feared it might be but it was baking hot so the climb to the top was tougher. 2 kids (13 & 9) and I managed the climb all the way to the top tower and the views were well worth the effort. This fitted in really well as a day trip along with the underground river at Labouiche.

Beautiful castle, I felt the live actors dressed in clothing from the time period made it a nice and immersive experience. The museum was filled with info and the staff was helpful, and spoke multiple languages (English, Spanish, and French of course).

An absolute highlight. The castle town is like in every childrenbook. Wouldn't be surprised, if a dragon arrives🙂. It is really like in a tale. All the towers with the roofs and the big large walls. A walk along the wall is more than 3km and take about 1 hour. Its included in the castle entrance. The cite can be freely visited all time. The castle is separate and has normal ooening hours. Entrance is 19€. But its worth it. You get a lot infos on boards with drawings about defense systems and reconstruction of the site. The cite is full of shops, bars and restaurants.An cathedral can also be visited. I recommand 2 visits. One fir castle and wall. Other in the evening for diner.

This is an amazing place to visit, lots to see. I would encourage anyone going to visit the castle and get the audio guide. So much information to listen to, both in the castle and and as you walk the walls. It really explains the history and development of the place. There's far less info on the few signs dotted about. Lots of places to eat and buy souveineers in the city and so many things to photograph.

The full fairytale experience....... As we we crossed the lovely old bridge from the lower town, we got our first glimpse of the walls of the medieval city, the walk up is quite enjoyable, passing a streets full of eateries enticing passer-by's with the local favourite.........., it is easy to spend a whole day within the walls, starting with a guided tower, visiting the basilica and learning all about the the history with enjoyable stories, next is the not missed, walking the walls/ramparts, a visit to the Medieval camp, is fun, just not for the kids, there are many restaurants, however our go to is the cite boulangerie, the bread is divine and there are many treated to be tempted with to finish the day, just walking the cobblestone streets, watching the kids with there sword and shield, wearing a helmet walking the streets sourced from the many souvenir shops. all in all a wonderful experience.

A really cool place to visit in the fall when the tourists are gone. I walked around at my leisure then took the Privilege tour which takes us in basements and other restricted areas to learn more about the history of the place. It was worth it. The only mild disappointment was the restaurants. I nearly cried when I realized that I can make a better cassoulet than what I had been served. I love cassoulet and was hoping to have an out of body experience in the birthplace of this dish. It was ok but not mind-blowing... If you like jogging, there's a nice trail around the walls where I enjoyed gorgeous views. In shoer, great place to visit but eat in town if you want to experience gastronomy.

The best medieval city ever. It's a must place to visit. You'll not be disappointed. Worth the entrance fee into the castle. There's plenty of parking too

Absolutely stunning. Loved our visit here. Paying the extra €13 to walk the remparts/walls is absolutely worthwhile. One of the best places that I've ever been to.

Wonderful"village" inside the walls, free to enter, not too busy and very historic, full of food outlets, and seemed to be reasonably priced. Beware if cycling up and leaving bikes outside, we parked and there was a cut lock on the cycle stand, when we came back another couple returned and they had had their bikes stolen, seemingly a few minutes before we arrived, so ensure you have a very secure lock.

We spent a couple of days here and found it absolutely amazing. Lots to do and see. Shops and restaurants in abundance. The evening walk on the ramparts along with the light show was amazing

Very good tour through the castle with a great walk on the walls of Carcassonne. We spent here about 2 hours. The price was 19€ per person without an audio guide. But there were plenty of explanations written in English so for us no guide was totally fine.

Legendary & Epic Castle This is by far my favourite castle in France. I visited a lot but this one is special. What I like is the fact it is Medieval and so well preserved. It is very grand too. One of the largest around the world. You can feel the middle ages here and really appreciate what it must have been like to live in those days. Highly recommended to visit.

Perfect on a sunny day..... A visit to the Medieval City is not complete, without doing the walk along the ramparts/walls and visiting the museum/castle. It is well worth the cost. We went early 0930, opening time, to beat the crowds, we actually had the walls to ourselves for the first 30 minute, we took our time, and totally enjoyed the experience.

Carcassonne and its castle are must-see sites if you're visiting Occitania in southern France. The day we were there, the place was swarming with tourists from all over the place, and with good reason, because there's so much rich history there. I heard French, Spanish, Catalan, German, English — visitors from many places. Touring the castle is synonymous with touring the city, since you can enter the city through the castle gates and walk around the winding lanes full of restaurants with outside seating, shops selling souvenirs and tourist items, etc. Every other restaurant signboard advertises cassoulet, a local specialty. If you're touring the castle and Carcassonne, I highly recommend also stepping into the basilica, whose stained-glass windows are a marvel to behold. Rich blues, reds, yellows, a fairyland of vibrant colors….

Not a usual Cheateau it’s way more than that . It’s a vibrant town with full of shops ,restaurants ,bar and hotels . You can lost yourself inside the small streets with tonnes of things to see . Easy access car park next to it for your convenience. Do not miss this place if you Around Carcassonne.

Unique in its kind, the Cité de Carcassonne is a fine example of medieval military architecture. It is not only one of the largest fortified cities in Europe, but also the largest medieval complex on the continent, and arguably one of the best preserved. The stones that make up the Cité tell us the history of the place. A rich and complex history spanning several centuries, from the Gallo-Roman period (from the 3rd century BC) to the 19th century. Strolling through the citadel and standing on its ramparts is like contemplating 2,500 years of history. At the heart of the medieval city of Carcassonne, the Château Comtal was built in the western part of the Cité, the highest and therefore best protected. On this side, the city overlooks the Aude River, making it difficult to access and thus serving as a protective feature. Today, consisting of a stately palace separating two courtyards, the castle dominates the Lower Town, protected by 11 towers, including two keeps. The main entrance is guarded by twin towers forming a gatehouse with elaborate defensive systems. The Watchtower, in the South Courtyard, is the castle's tallest. It is one of the city's few square towers. Constantly modified over time, the count's castle was enlarged in the 12th century by the Trencavels, Viscounts of Carcassonne. A primitive castle already stood on this site. The construction of this new palace, begun around 1130, took place in a very unique context. The establishment of the feudal system led to the division of the territory and the decentralization of power: vast territorial areas were placed under the responsibility of lords, tasked with administering the various regions on behalf of the Carolingian kingdom. While these families owed loyalty to the king, they were increasingly powerful and independent. In Carcassonne, the Trencavel dynasty managed to establish its dominance and ensured the management of the viscounty. This was an important family, composed of fierce warriors and great builders. The city was, however, threatened by the presence of two powerful neighbors, the Counts of Toulouse and Barcelona, ​​who were fighting over the South of France. The Viscounts of Carcassonne, allying themselves with one, sometimes with the other, managed to reconcile these two powers. This was a prosperous period, which allowed for the development of trade and the urban expansion of the city. After the construction of the Saint-Nazaire basilica, the castle, which housed the seigneurial power, was fortified and enlarged. From the 11th century onwards, it was an important living space, including a great hall, kitchens, stables and a keep. It is the only room in the count's castle to have retained its medieval appearance; the walls of the state room are still decorated with the original paintings. Made with semi-precious stones, they represent epic scenes that tell of the power of the Lords during the Crusades. Later, in the 12th century, the castle also housed a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was destroyed during the Revolution (with the exception of its apse, which is still visible). Today, little remains of the castle from this period, which then consisted of two buildings forming an L and dominated by a watchtower. The castle was then separated from the rest of the city by a simple palisade.

This is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the southern French gothic style I have ever visited. The outside is very imposing but the inside is crammed with beautiful artwork. It’s said that it is the largest building constructed out of bricks. Close to the building is a beautiful garden and the Toulouse-Lautrec museum.

What can you say about this most imposing yet beautiful of cathedrals? The plain Tolosian pink brick exterior - built as a fortress to intimidate the Cathar supporters - belies the intricate beauty inside where every surface is decorated to a point that you have to just sit down to try and take it all in. And that is what you can do - it is free to enter the eastern half of the cathedral. The western half - similarly decorated but less busy, and one for the fans of impressive sculptures of the time, is a small fee, and also contains the treasures on an upper floor. Not necessary to enjoy the cathedral, but if you like completeness. The choir is stunning though, and reminiscent of York Minster, but taken up a notch. The only hint of this on the outside is the main entrance, whose portico feels like a mini cathedral in itself. If Notre Dame had fallen down before Victor Hugo built it up again, then Quasimodo would have felt very at home here, at least the Disney version anyway… Finally, we have to mention the organ - one of the biggest in France and uniquely decorated with the queues for Heaven and Hell. Very Dutch in form, and something to marvel at. I’m a big fan of European cathedrals, and Albi is in my top three. Not to be missed, if you are at least within 100km of it. The authentic winding streets and high views over the river as you make your way there add to the visual drama.

Truly magnificent and spectacular church with incredible art and massive fort like structure on the outside that bellies the intricate details artful details on the inside. I didn't pay to see the other half of it but didn't think it was necessary to get a great experience. Must visit if you are around Toulouse.

Free entry to the impressive Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, the largest brick cathedral in the world, has the feel of a fortress. • 113m long, 35m wide and 30m under the vault •  a 78m high bell tower completed in 1480. • 1282/1493: it took 200 years to build It is also the largest fully painted cathedral in Europe, with 18,500 m² of frescoes and decorations.

The almost complete painting of this large Gothic building is unique, magnificent, and impressive. A must-see, and not just for art historians. And very easy to visit: there's a large parking lot below the hill, and admission is free. Sit in the choir stalls and stay for a while.

Truely magnificent! This is the largest brick cathedral in the world and fully painted inside. The frescoes are amazing, worth the visit to this beautiful town albi

Excellent visit, well worth the 6€ for the audio guide. A remarkably well preserved church and surrounding area. The toulouse lautrec museumjust besides. A beautiful place to lookat while you take a consommation in one of the bars at the edge of the square.

Impressive city and a real statement building which houses the works A lot of early career stuff you don't hear about. It s a climb to get there and parking is 'fun ' but the building has lifts too. Go there and spend some time in the city too.

Beautiful experience! The paintings on 3rd lower half were the best from the collection in my opinion. Wasn't a huge fan of that aspect of the museum but it definitely made up for it being able to experience the entire building and all it's gardens.

A superb museum presenting the world's most important collection of Toulouse-Lautrec works. At the foot of Albi Cathedral, the Palais de la Berbie majestically overlooks the Tarn River. It was within the walls of this 12th-century building that the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum was established in 1922, bringing together the world's most important collection of this Albi painter. It houses more than 1,000 works, paintings, lithographs and drawings, as well as the 31 posters that made the artist famous. This exceptional collection traces his entire oeuvre, from his early paintings to his final canvas, including his Montmartre years.

Very nice museum, well laid out, and in a beautiful location. I liked that they dedicated some of the space to the history of the building itself and the archeological work that was done to uncover some of its secrets and beauty.

Worth taking the time to visit. The museum is well done. It was interesting to learn the history of Lautrec and see his work from a budding artist to the end of his life. It was nice the museum provided English translated guide sheets throughout the museum. When you're done make sure to check out the garden in the back.

This museum is located in a former bishops palace, so the building is already nice. But the collection is also surprisingly good because it includes some of this early painting work, as well as that several of his contemporaryies' work. They have a hsndful of Eduard Vuillard paintings for example. It is difficult to get there by car, so park by the market parking lot.

Largest collection of works by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Very good display of works from throughout his life. Very good description of works and overview of his life displayed from room to room. Also, some works by his famous instructors and friends. Descriptions in French, English, and Spanish (Castellano). I saw that in each room, there are large laminated card with the descriptions in other languages (German, Occitan, and others). The old building housing the collection itself would be worth visit. The museum store is much more reasonably priced than most. The staff is very kind. They are obviously proud that Lautrec is their home town boy. Really very nice experience.
