Is Toulouse good for tourists?

Definitely! As Toulouse grows in popularity as a city break, so do the various attractions and activities you can see and do here, meaning the city has something to offer for everyone.

How long should you spend in Toulouse?

When planning your trip to Toulouse, it really depends on what you want to do and see. If you're interested in exploring the city's main attractions and soaking up its vibrant atmosphere, a stay of about 2-3 days should give you enough time to visit key landmarks like the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, the Capitole de Toulouse, and the Cit é de l'Espace. This timeframe also allows for leisurely strolls along the Garonne River and exploring the city's charming streets lined with cafes and shops. However, if you want to delve deeper into Toulouse's culture, history, and cuisine, or if you plan to take day trips to nearby attractions such as Carcassonne or Albi, consider extending your stay to 4-5 days. This will give you more flexibility to explore the city at a relaxed pace and fully immerse yourself in everything Toulouse has to offer.

What food is Toulouse famous for?

Toulouse is famous for its many regionally specific dishes like cassoulet. A bubbling stew made with other local ingredients like Saucisse de Toulouse, trotters, confit duck, and garlic, this dish is centuries old and is named after the classic clay pot it's cooked in. Another product that's made locally is a cheese called Pav é Toulousain. What makes this raw cow's milk cheese special is its cube shape, which is in honour of the iconic pink bricks that the city is known for. Since Toulouse is the capital of the Occitanie region, you can expect a lot of sweets where fruits are the star. Le f é n é tra is a traditional lemon and apricot tart that can be traced back to the city's Roman rulers. You can also try the variety of violet-flavoured sweets in Toulouse for something a little bolder. This flower has been a signature flavour in the district since the 19th century when its value as a frost-proof crop was first recognised.

Does Toulouse have a beach?

No, Toulouse doesn't have its own beach, but it's only a few hours away from some of the most beautiful shores in the region. From the city centre, a two-hour car drive will take you to Narbonne Beach. Here, the fine sands overlook the sapphire-blue Mediterranean Sea. If you want to stick to the city, you can also get your fill of the water along the Garonne River. While you can't swim here, the banks are perfect for sunbathing and taking leisurely walks. It's also close to other attractions like the 11th-century Saint Sernin Basilica, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why is Toulouse popular?

Toulouse is popular for its artistry, which is evident in its streets, structures, cuisine, and attractions. Many of the most sought-after experiences in Toulouse include tours of its many museums and historical landmarks. Art lovers will delight in the Musee des Augustins, where artwork ranging from the Middle Ages up to the 20th century is on display. Fans of more contemporary pieces will also be happy to drop by the Les Abbatoirs. Once a 19th-century slaughterhouse, this structure has been reimagined into a gallery for modern art. If you're travelling with children, the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle and Cite de l'Espace have interactive classes they can take part in. To see what La Ville Rose looked like before urbanisation, you can also visit the old quarter of the city. For instance, there's the Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, which you can arrange to tour as part of your easyJet Toulouse holiday. Once a stronghold in ancient times, this region is now considered one of Toulouse's most beautiful villages. Nearby, you can also visit the Pech Merle Cavern and see prehistoric paintings which prove that Toulouse has always been an artistic hub.
