 Ryanair plane by Stevieboy The best way to get to Carcassonne is by Ryanair. There are flights from Londen (Stasted) and Charleroi (in Belgium; south of Brussels). If you are a lucky (or patient, or just fast enough), you should be able to find a very cheap flight. The airport is not very far from the city center. You can take a shuttle (for 5 euros at the time), but we shared a taxi for the same price per person - and got comfortably delivered right at the front door of the hotel... Leave a Comment

 La Cite by leics The airport shuttle bus parks outside the arrivals gate, and is a useful way to get to Carcassonne. It costs 5 euro one-way, and goes up to La Cite. The driver will ask for your hotel name and will drop you at a nearby stop. The bus times link in with the Ryanair flights, but the bus back is a bit late if you want to check-in really early (it arrives about an hour before take-off). Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Local bus stop in front of the Cite by LizC The lady at the tourist booth in the airport forgot it was sunday, gave us a bus schedule, and circled the time for the next bus and pointed out to the place to wait, half and hour later, we were told by other passengers the bus don't run on sundays. The wait for the taxi was quite long, maybe also due to Sunday? A nice ride to our hotel next to the Cite from the airport was 14 Euro. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The best way to get from the train station to Carcassonne is by taxi. We were staying in a hotel within the citadel, and the taxi delivered us right to the door of the hotel. It was an interesting ride, with the taxi winding its way through the narrow cobblestone roads. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The only way to visit all these places and more is by car. You can reach the main cities like Carcassonne or Narbonne by public transport but the other places are too off the beatten path. There is no public transport between Fontfroide Abbey and Narbonne (the nearest city). Foix is the nearest city to Montségur. You can arrive to Foix by train. Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Map with Train Station marked by Aleyd On Sundays the regular shuttle bus does not run between the train station and the old city. To get a taxi from the old city go to the information desk near the entrance and they will happily call one. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Map with Train Station marked by Aleyd Taxis from the train station: There is a taxi spot marked just outside the entrance to the train station. If you are willing to wait, a taxi will eventually show up. Taxis from the old city: There is a taxi spot marked just outside the entrance to the old city (near the bus stops). I got the ladies at the information booth (just inside the main entrance) to call me a taxi, and then waited at the taxi spot. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Get the bus from the airpot into Carcassonne it's quick and cheaper than a taxi. Because it's not a very busy airport the bus timetable is tailored to fit in with most arrivals/departures. The best stop to get/on off at is probably Square Gambetta right in the centre of town. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Streets of Carcassonne by leosantanajr If you are visiting Carcassonne to go to the Cité Médiévale, don’t worry about transport…..it only takes 20 minutes from the Gare de Cracassonne to the Cité Médiévale by foot…. If you insist on taking a taxi, there are some outside the train station (Gare) but I really saw many at the Bd Omer Sarraut, one block down from the station. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Le Petit Train de Carcassonne by mustertal "Le Petit Train" takes you around the outside of the Cite walls, and through the small, ancient village of Carcassonne, just outside it's gates, it slowly moves it's way round, giving some great views of the Fortress. You can get a true feeling of just how magnificent a fortress it is, it's amazing how anyone managed to penetrate it's walls. Some of the paths are quite steep at times so hold on. 2009 prices for an adult was €7 €4 for children. You can catch the train, just out side the main gate. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
