Visit Carcassonne – Walking tour in the city and ramparts visit + map

On vacation or road trip in the Aude , you want to visit Carcassonne but you wonder:

  • How long to visit the City?

How to visit the City of Carcassonne?

How to visit the ramparts of carcassonne.

So here is my walking tour in the medieval city (with route map) and the plan to visit the ramparts of Carcassonne .

How to visit the city of Carcassonne

Visit Carcassonne in 1 day

The City of Carcassonne is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and listed among the Great Sites of occ i cheap . It is one of the largest fortified cities in Europe, in particular for its 3 km long double enclosure and its 52 towers. It includes the Saint-Nazaire Basilica, the Comtal castle, museums, shops and good restaurants.

To make the most of the medieval city and its ramparts, it is better to arrive when it opens and plan the whole day .

Indeed, this site is an immense medieval architectural ensemble which can be visited in 3 stages:

  • Le Carcassonne Castle  which dates from the 1000th century and testifies to 2600 years of military architecture and XNUMX years of history;
  • The walls that surround the City of Carcassonne;
  • La Cité de Carcassonne which is the old town inside the ramparts.

How to visit Carcassonne?

To start, I recommend that you park in the car park which is 400 m from the Medieval City opposite the main entrance of the Porte Narbonnaise. See its Google Maps location: City park car park

Then the best is:

  • to enter the City by the Porte Narbonnaise (free entry),
  • to go directly to visit the Château de Comtal (entrance fee, see skip-the-line castle + ramparts ticket ),
  • then visit the ramparts (entrance included in the castle's skip-the-line ticket),
  • and finish with the free visit of Cité de Carcassonne (medieval town) following my walking tour (see below).

Map of the City of Carcassonne

Ask for the tourist plan directly at the Office of Tourism which is inside the city.

Otherwise, here is the plan of the city of Carcassonne that there is in this brochure which you can download:

Because you don't come to Carcassonne just to visit the Château Comtal, here are the stages of my tour that allow you to visit the other unmissable sites of the medieval city:

Bust of Dame Carcas

Porte narbonnaise and its drawbridge, count's castle, maison hantée.

  • Grand Well Square

Basilica of Saint-Nazaire

Itinerary map to visit the city of carcassonne.

To help you, here is the Google Maps map of my circuit which allows you to visit the tourist sites inside the Cité de Carcassonne on foot.

By clicking on "More options", you can switch to pedestrian GPS mode.

Stages of the Cité de Carcassonne tourist circuit

Here is some historical information on the essential visits to the Cité de Carcassonne:

The Bust of Dame Carcas is the statue facing the entrance to the city. If you want to know the legend, click on this link sound that quickly tells you the false story of Dame Carcas.

In truth, this statue represents a woman of Saracen origin of whom we do not know much but who symbolizes the resistance of the city.

The Narbonnaise gate with its two beautiful towers is the main entrance to the City of Carcassonne which is done by crossing its Drawbridge. It is said to have been built around 1280. It was much later, in 1860, that Viollet-le-Duc reconstructed the battlements and the slate roof and built the drawbridge.

Porte Narbonnaise in my tour to visit the city on foot

This fortress was built in the 12th century by the Trencavels, Viscounts of Carcassonne.

It includes the Romanesque chapel of the bastion, the matacans (galleries from which projectiles and other weapons were thrown to repel enemies) and the barbican (main entrance to the defensive enclosure above the moat). You will also discover the inner ramparts of the City, the Cours d'Honneur and the Cours du Midi, the hoardings, the walkway and the dungeon. Your ticket also allows you to visit a lapidary museum and an exhibition on the history of the medieval city and its restoration.

Count's Castle

If you like to scare yourself, here is a fun attraction: The haunted house of Carcassonne. It is located very close to the Château Comtal, in an old house with around fifteen rooms fitted out to surprise you…

Great Well of Carcassonne

It is the oldest well in the medieval city, which has 22 in total. Its two large columns are in the Renaissance style, while its outline dates from the 14th century.

The legend says that the Visigoths, who were afraid of the arrival of Atilla, hid in this well the treasure of the Temple of Solomon.

Much more serious, in the Museum of the Inquisition, you will discover the history of the Cathar era, the judgments, the executions and the tortures made to the presumed Cathars who were accused of witchcraft and treated as heretics.

Located near the Château Comtal, this gate faces the Aude river, whose name it bears. It is the second gateway to the City of Carcassonne. With its medieval style, it served as a backdrop for film scenes (Les Visiteurs, Robin des Bois, Prince of Thieves, Le Corniaud).

Aude Gate

A former cathedral, the Saint Nazaire basilica is the “Jewel of the City”. Romanesque and Gothic in style, its stained glass windows are reputed to be among the most beautiful in Occitania.

Basilica of Saint Nazaire in my itinerary to visit Carcassonne

Small Well of Carcassonne

After the Big Well, here is the little one! It is a well from the 14th century, dug into the rock at a depth of 21 meters.

The ramparts of Carcassonne measure 3 kilometers and have 2 fortified enclosures, 4 gates, 52 towers and barbicans. You can visit them by 2 interior circuits (with your castle + ramparts ticket):

  • The northern Gallo-Roman rampart and its round towers with a view of the Montagne Noire (exit via the Porte Narbonnaise);
  • The western medieval rampart: Square tower of the bishop, Tower of the Inquisition, restorations by Viollet-le-Duc with a view of the Saint Nazaire basilica, the theater and the Pyrenees (exit by Saint-Nazaire tower).

Ramparts of Carcassonne

But you can also go around the city by the low lists (outer rampart which dates from the 13th century). The lower rails connect the Château Comtal to the Tour du Trésau.

Between the two ramparts, you can walk to discover the different characters of military architecture, with beautiful viewpoints.

Map of the ramparts of Carcassonne

The educational site of the Center des Monuments Nationaux has published a brochure very useful. We find there in particular the plan of the ramparts of Carcassonne:

Plan to visit the ramparts of Carcassonne

Visit Carcassonne – The Old Bridge

To end your day of visit, I recommend that you leave the medieval city to go to the Pont Vieux. It is the bridge that connects the city to the lower town. It is above all the best spot to take beautiful photos of the City as a whole.

History of the City of Carcassonne

Carcassonne has origins that go back to the  Gallo-Roman period which I will not develop here. Indeed, it is the medieval city that interests us! To discover it, I invite you to click on the article of the Office of Tourism who summed it up nicely.

Where to stay to visit Carcassonne?

Here is a very nice hotel with an ideal location in the heart of the medieval city. This is probably the best hotel for visiting the medieval city and enjoying its charm and unique atmosphere.

Viaje a Carcassonne: Día 1. La ciudad vieja de Carcassonne

Entrada a la ciudad amurallada de carcassonne.

Probablemente te estés preguntando… ¿Es gratis entrar a la ciudad amurallada de Carcassonne?

Si, es gratis. La ciudadela está abierta 24 horas y puedes acceder por cualquiera de las puertas de la ciudad. La principal es la Puerta Narbonnaise.

Lo que no es gratis es la entrada al Castillo y a las murallas interiores. La entrada al castillo es de 9,5€.

El castillo y las murallas están abiertas todos los días del año. Sin embargo, el horario varía según la época del año. Durante la temporada alta (verano), las murallas y las atracciones están abiertas desde las 9:00 hasta las 18:00. Pero durante la temporada baja (invierno), las murallas cierran un poco más temprano, a las 17:00. Así que recuerda consultar el horario antes de ir.

Vamos a dedicar el día a conocer la ciudad vieja de Carcassonne , para entrar a la ciudad vieja cruzaremos el Pont Vieux (puente levadizo) y pasaremos entre las dos series de murallas para llegar a una ciudad medieval que dentro de sus murallas esconde puntos muy interesantes. El Pont Vieux nos lleva a la Rue Trivalle, una calle estrecha bordeada de casas antiguas, algunas de las cuales son ahora restaurantes y tiendas de antigüedades. Desde allí se llega a la Porte Narbonnaise, la entrada principal de la ciudad.

Casco Antiguo de Carcassonne

Hay 52 torres y dos millas de murallas concéntricas dobles que rodean esta fortificación única. Un paseo a lo largo de las almenas ofrece maravillosas vistas de la ciudad de Carcassonne y de las llanuras llanas del Languedoc.

murallas de carcassonne

La Basílica de San Nazario

En la época visigoda existía un edificio religioso en este lugar, pero fue rediseñado continuamente a lo largo de los siglos, hasta que en el siglo XIII se construyó el edificio actual demoliendo todo menos la cripta y la nave de la iglesia original. Consecuentemente, gran parte de la nave de 16 metros de ancho es de estilo auténticamente romano.

La Basílica de San Nazario

En 1801 la Basílica fue reemplazada como catedral de la ciudad por la iglesia de San Miguel del siglo XIII. Ambos edificios están abiertos al público, pero la Catedral de San Miguel no tiene el interés histórico de la Basílica. El órgano de la Basílica es el más antiguo de Francia, y ha sido restaurado con maestría a su antigua gloria.

El Castillo Comtal y las murallas interiores

Situado en el corazón de la Cité, el castillo de Comtal de Carcassonne se utiliza ahora como oficina de información, desde la que se pueden reservar visitas guiadas, y hay un extenso museo de objetos excavados a lo largo de los años.

Es la principal atracción turística de la ciudad . No te vayas sin visitarlo.

tour por carcassonne

¿Cómo se paga la entrada? Puedes comprarlas allí en la taquilla en efectivo o con tarjeta de crédito. O puedes sacarlas por Internet. ¿Hay que hacer cola para entrar? No, no suele haber colas, o son muy rápidas.. Aunque en temporada alta como verano o fines de semana se suele formar cola para comprar la entrada. Puede llevarte unos 30 minutos como máximo comprar la entrada.

Si la compras la entrada por internet no tendrás que hacer cola en la taquilla y te diriges directamente a la entrada. Eliges el día que quieres visitarlo pero la hora es independiente. Los menores de 18 años no pagan entrada.

El castillo fue construido en el siglo XII por los Trencavels, que fueron la familia gobernante en la fortificación durante dos siglos, y partidarios de los cátaros. Esto, desafortunadamente, los puso en conflicto directo con Simón de Montfort y los Caballeros Templarios, y su eventual desaparición.

Algunas de las vistas que podrás disfrutar durante tu visita al castillo y por las murallas interiores (de pelicula)

Visita al castillo de Carcassonne

¿Viajas con niños? En verano organizan un torneo de caballeros en la puerta que hay justo al lado de la Basílica de San Nazario, dura 45 minutos y el espectáculo es muy entretenido. (Es en francés, pero lo principal se entiende y es igualmente recomendado) Puedes sacar la entrada allí o en la web de la oficina de turismo de Carcasona .

Día 2. Que ver cerca de Carcassonne. Los pueblos más bonitos.

Hoy vamos a realizar una excursión hacia el oeste de la ciudad. Volviendo al final de la noche de nuevo a nuestra ciudad base para disfrutar de las bellas vistas. Al noreste de Carcasonne hay una carretera que conduce hacia la ciudad de Revel. Esta ruta nos lleva a la parte sur de la Montagne Noir (el extremo sur de la región del Macizo Central), pasando a través de algunos bosques antiguos y el aumento de la altitud asegura las impresionantes vistas de la campiña francesa.

Esta ciudad destaca su centro medieval histórico. Una plaza rodeada de soportales y balcones esculpidos del siglo XIII.

En verano suele haber mercados y la plaza cobra bastante vida, con puestos ambulantes de comida, de artesanías y un carrusel para los peques.

En la misma plaza se encuentra el antiguo mercado (ya reformado) y la catedral de Saint-Maurice de estilo gótico.

Es una visita ideal para dedicar un par de horas.

Es recomendable comer por los abundantes restaurantes que rodean la plaza. Es más económico que comer en Carcassonne. Para nosotros ha sido un gran descubrimiento.

El Castillo de Saissac

El castillo de Saissac es una fortaleza medieval situada en el municipio de Saissac, en el departamento francés de Aude. Fue construido a finales del siglo XI o principios del XII, y se utilizó como residencia de los señores de Saissac hasta el siglo XV.  A lo largo de los siglos, el castillo ha sido utilizado tanto como residencia de nobles, como de prisión. 

Castillo de Saissac

A partir del siglo XVII, el castillo fue abandonado y se fue deteriorando poco a poco. También sufrió un incendio en el siglo XVI durante las guerras de religión.

El impresionante castillo está situado en la cima de la colina debajo del pueblo que le ofrece un panorama excepcional a través de las llanuras debajo de la ciudad.

En la actualidad, el castillo está abierto al público y se puede visitar. Se puede visitar la muralla y las torres, así como la capilla y la sala de armas. También hay un museo en el que se pueden ver objetos relacionados con la historia del castillo.

El pueblo de Soreze, nuestro pueblo medieval favorito en la región y con muchos edificios medievales de entramado de madera. El pueblo tiene un encanto especial y es muy agradable pasear por sus calles.

Calles de soreze

Una de las cosas que no te puedes perder la Abadía de Soreze . La abadía tiene una bonita iglesia y un claustro con columnas de mármol. En la actualidad, la abadía está abierta al público y se pueden visitar sus jardines y el museo.

El pueblo medieval de Soreze también es muy bonito. Se pueden ver las murallas y las torres de la ciudad, así como los restos de la antigua fortaleza.

Revel tiene un centro medieval muy bien conservado en el que destaca su gran mercado medieval y varios restaurantes. Ideal para hacer parada y aprovechar para disfrutar del mercado. En un breve paseo lo habrás visto bastante bien.

Revel, Francia

Día 3. Qué ver cerca de Carcassonne: Narbona.

En este ultimo día viajaremos al este de Carcassona una de las ciudades más interesantes de cerca de Carcassona. La veremos perfectamente en 1 día.

Catedral de Narbona

En el corazón de Narbona, encontrarás la catedral gótica de Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur, que comenzó a construirse en el siglo XIII. Su nave, aunque inacabada, es impresionante y una de las más altas de Francia. Se ve desde la carretera sobresaliendo por todo el paisaje de la ciudad. Una vez cerca ya no da tanta sensación de altura pero si que es realmente bonita.

Cuenta con bonitos patios interiores. El interior de la catedral no impresiona demasiado. Lo más destacable es su gigante órgano medieval.

Pasaje del Ancla

Una de las calles más bonitas y con más encanto de la ciudad conecta la entrada de la Catedral con la plaza del ayuntamiento y la entrada al Palacio del Arzobispo.

Palacio del Arzobispo

que ver cerca de carcassonne

También conocido como el Palais des Archevêques, es un impresionante complejo arquitectónico que ha sido la sede de los arzobispos de la ciudad desde el siglo XII.

La visita al Palacio del Arzobispo te permitirá admirar hermosas salas, patios y terrazas, y desde lo alto de la Torre Gilles Aycelin, podrás disfrutar de una vista panorámica de Narbona y sus alrededores.

Vía Domitia

que ver en los alrededores de carcasona

En la misma plaza del Palacio encontraremos la Vía Domitia, fue una de las primeras carreteras romanas construidas en la Galia y conectaba los Alpes con la región costera del Golfo de León. En Narbona, aún se pueden ver partes de esta antigua carretera. Este segmento de la carretera muestra las marcas de los carros antiguos y está pavimentado con grandes piedras, evidencia de la ingeniería y la planificación romanas.

Narbona fue fundada por los romanos en el 118 a.C. como Narbo Martius y se convirtió en una colonia vital en la ruta entre Italia y España.

Puente de los Mercaderes

Localmente conocido como “Pont des Marchands” se trata de un puente habitado que cruza el Canal de la Robine, una ramificación del Canal du Midi, en el corazón de la ciudad.

viaje a Carcasona

Lo que hace que este puente sea tan especial es que todavía tiene casas construidas sobre él, y forma parte de la calle principal que atraviesa el centro histórico de Narbona.

Paseo por el Canal de la Robine

El paseo junto al canal está lleno de restaurantes y cafés donde puedes disfrutar de la cocina local mientras observas los barcos pasar. También puedes alquilar tu un barco para dar un paseo tu mismo.

Además, al cruzar el canal verás Les Halles, un famoso mercado cubierto donde encontrarás una gran variedad de productos frescos y deliciosos.

Mercado de Narbona

Abadía de Fontfroide

Para acabar el día recomendamos visitar La Abadía de Fontfroide, es un monasterio cisterciense situado a unos 20 min de Narbona.

Abadía de Fontfroide

Fundada en el siglo XI, esta abadía es un ejemplo de la arquitectura medieval y es conocida por su serenidad y belleza. La abadía está ubicada en un valle aislado, rodeada de viñedos y colinas, lo que proporciona un escenario tranquilo y contemplativo. Los visitantes pueden explorar la iglesia con sus hermosos vitrales, el claustro adornado con detalles escultóricos, la sala capitular, y otros espacios que revelan la vida monástica de la época ¡Y sobre todo los jardines!

La entrada cuesta 14€ y se saca directamente en la Abadía.

Consejos para visitar Carcassonne

Es sin duda una de las ciudades medievales más interesantes e impresionantes de toda Francia, y la ciudad tiene una historia que se remonta a las Guerras Cátaras, en las que la ciudad desempeñó un papel muy importante. Hay quizás dos cosas que disminuyen ligeramente el atractivo de una visita a Carcassonne:

– Quédate a dormir en la ciudadela o muy cerca . Verás una ciudad totalmente distinta, si lo visitas durante las principales horas del día o si paseas por sus solitarias calles cuando comienza a anochecer o a primera hora de la mañana. Yo di un paseo a las 8 de la mañana y es una auténtica maravilla la ciudad entera para ti con las calles solitarias y algunas personas haciendo running.

Nosotros nos alojamos en el Hotel “Le Donjon” de 4 estrellas dentro de la Cité y fue una gran decisión. E – La primera es la inevitable presencia de muchos otros visitantes, por lo que se recomienda visitar temprano en el día o fuera de temporada si es posible. – Algunos viajeros expertos en arquitectura si que han acusado la falta de autenticidad en algunas partes de la renovación. Carcassonne fue restaurada extensamente en el siglo 19 en gran parte para ser una “ciudad medieval ideal”, así que por ejemplo las torres puntiagudas en las torres no habrían existido en los tiempos medievales, así que si eres un purista puedes pensar que hay un leve aire de “atracción de Disneylandia” en la ciudad. Pero el tamaño y la belleza de esta ciudad superan con creces estas preocupaciones y una visita es muy recomendable.

Algo imprescindible para esta ruta es alquilar un coche , la visita a Carcassonne no requiere más de 1 o 2 días por lo que si quieres complementarlo con la ruta que te proponemos en la guía es necesario que valores la necesidad de alquilar un coche.

Cuando viajar a Carcassonne

Si buscas tranquilidad y poder disfrutar de la ciudad te recomendamos visitarla en invierno. El clima es más frío pero podrás disfrutar de la ciudad de una forma más tranquila, además si lo visitas en fechas cercanas a la Navidad podrás disfrutar de un bello mercadillo navideño. En verano es la temporada alta y está lleno de turistas, hace que moverse por la ciudad sea complicado y el coste del alojamiento se dispare. Además de que el calor puede llegar a ser sofocante.

¿Merece la pena Visitar Carcassonne?

Si, mucho. Carcassonne es una mezcla cautivadora de historia, cultura, y belleza que te hará pensar que estás paseando por la edad media, y por supuesto merece una visita, ya sea que estés interesado en la arquitectura medieval, la gastronomía francesa, o simplemente en disfrutar de un lugar único y pintoresco.
