What travellers say about Carcassonne

Anonymous user12 July 2026

A hidden gem in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. This museum offers an exceptional exhibition from beginning to end and is truly a must-see. While Picasso's masterpieces are the main attraction, the temporary and featured exhibitions are equally impressive. The museum is beautifully curated, and the admission fee is very reasonable, making it one of the best cultural experiences I have ever had.

Trip Moments in Carcassonne

The Carcassonne-Dawn Rampart: The Listed Wall Before the First Flag Goes Up

The Carcassonne-Dawn Rampart: The Listed Wall Before the First Flag Goes Up

“#tripbestshot Carcassonne's walled city is a UNESCO site and one of the great medieval fortifications in Europe — and the best time to walk its ramparts is at dawn, before the first flag is raised, when the stones are cool and the only people up there are the cleaners and the occasional photographer.”
