Visiting Toulouse: discover the landmarks of the Pink City

Plan your visits in Toulouse and step into the heart of the Pink City, its history, its heritage and its landmarks. The capital of south-west France rewards those who like to walk, and those drawn to art, architecture and culture. Set between the Garonne and the Canal du Midi, the city offers a rich and lively experience.

In a single day you can take in the historic centre: the famous Place du Capitole, the majestic Basilica of Saint-Sernin, the Jacobins convent and other thirteenth-century buildings that tell the story of Toulouse.

Make time for the museums too — the Muséum, the Musée des Augustins or the Halle de la Machine. The Saint-Cyprien district, with its Raymond VI garden, rounds off this immersion in the city’s heritage.

For something different, choose a private guide or a tourist pass covering transport, an activity, entry to the historic sites and suggested routes from your hotel.
