Toulouse is home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Basilica of Saint-Sernin. The church, built in the 11th century, is the largest Romanesque-period building in Europe. Several art museums are also located in the city. These include the Musee des Augustins, the Musee des Abattoirs, and the Hotel d'Assezat.

For tourists who fly to Toulouse and don’t mind a bit of a trek, Carcassonne is within one hour of the city. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has been inhabited since about 3500 BCE. After becoming an important trading post, Carcassonne was eventually conquered by the Romans, who saw it as a strategic location as they spread east across Europe. Today, the fortified Citadel of Carcassonne looms larger over the region. From the ruins through modern day, this structure has outlived generations, undergoing massive restorations in the late 19th century. Tourists can visit the chateau, walk the ramparts, and explore the grounds of this massive medieval fortress.

Just on the outskirts of Toulouse, tourists can visit the Cité de l'espace, known in English as the “Space City.” The museum focuses on all things space, offering up exhibits with model rockets, simulated control rooms, and beautiful planetariums for visitors to see the stars in a way like never before.

Visitors to Toulouse also enjoy sampling the city’s traditional cuisine. Saucisse de Toulouse, a type of fresh pork sausage, and cassoulet, a slow-cooked stew containing sausage and white beans, are favorites available at most city restaurants. Chez Emile, a Michelin Guide restaurant, offers many local favorites paired with incredible wines that tourists can only find in France.
