Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu

It is best to visit early in the morning (before 10 am) to avoid crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. A dusk visit is also magical, as the ramparts are lit up with golden lights and the number of visitors decreases.

Savjeti za budžet

Entry to the old city is completely free, and you only pay for entry to the inner castle (Château Comtal), about 11 euros for adults. You can purchase the Carcassonne Pass, which includes entry to the castle and many other museums with a discount of up to 30%.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Ovaj legendarni dvorac ima 52 kule okružene zidinama ukupne dužine od oko 3 kilometra. Prošao je kroz ogromnu restauraciju u devetnaestom vijeku pod vodstvom arhitekte Viollet-le-Duca, koji je dodao one prepoznatljive šiljaste krovove koji mu i danas daju bajkovit izgled.

Istaknuto: Za razliku od onoga što posjetioci možda misle, visoki šiljasti krovovi na kulama nisu prvobitno postojali u srednjem vijeku, već ih je dodao inženjer Viollet-le-Duc tokom restauracije dvorca u devetnaestom vijeku. Zamislite da stojite u sumrak dok hiljade zlatnih svjetala svijetle unutar kamenih zidina, pretvarajući utvrđeni grad u prizor koji izgleda kao slika genijalnog umjetnika.

Insajderski savjeti

To avoid the crowds, start your tour from the back gate (Porte d'Aude) instead of the main gate, as it is less crowded and leads you directly to the beautiful parts.
Wear comfortable walking shoes because the streets are cobbled and there are many slopes inside the ramparts.
The best spot for panoramic photography is from the Pont-Vieux bridge over the Aude River, especially at sunset.
Do not miss tasting cassoulet in one of the restaurants inside the ramparts, as it is the traditional dish of the region and is prepared here with rare authenticity.
