Top Culture in Occitanie

I recommend visiting on a weekday, especially in the afternoon around 2 PM. It's way less crowded then, and you can really soak in the art without feeling rushed.

make sure to wear comfy shoes! the museum is pretty big with lots of walking around, so you don’t wanna be in pain halfway through.

Bring some snacks and water to save money on concessions inside. There are great picnic spots around the fortress!

Don’t forget your camera! The views from the ramparts are stunning, especially late afternoon when the sun sets. Plan to spend some time just enjoying the scenery.

Don't forget to grab a snack from local vendors outside. I found some yummy street food that made my visit even more enjoyable.

If you can, try to go around 10 AM when the crowds are smaller. I went later and it was packed, which affected my photos a lot.

I suggest checking out the view from the top. I didn't realize how stunning it would be—worth the climb!

Don't miss the café inside; the coffee is great! I suggest grabbing a drink there before or after exploring the museum—it’s nice to take a break.

If you're planning to visit during the weekend, try to get there right when it opens around 10 AM. It gets pretty busy later, and you'll have a better chance to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

When you visit, don't forget to look up at the architecture details – they're stunning! I regret not doing a bit of research beforehand to appreciate the history more

If you can, try to visit around 8 am. The square is so calm and peaceful then with beautiful morning light – great for photos without the crowds!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes, especially if you plan to stroll around. The cobblestones are charming but can be tough on your feet after a while.

Check the weather before you go! It gets sunny, and you definitely want to bring a hat or sunscreen to avoid getting burnt. I forgot mine and ended up finding shade a lot!

Take some time to explore the surrounding gardens and pathways; they're just as beautiful as the promenade itself! I found some hidden spots perfect for photos.

My advice is to start with the temporary exhibitions first. I kinda missed them and ended up rushing through, which was a bummer!

I think the museum cafe offers some good snacks, but it's a bit pricey. Bring a small sandwich if you want to save some euros for souvenirs instead

I suggest buying your tickets online before you go. It saves time and you'll skip the long lines, especially on weekends. Trust me, I had to wait longer than I wanted!

Don't forget to bring a water bottle! There are places to fill it up and honestly, you don't want to pay for overpriced drinks inside. Stay hydrated and save some cash!
