All about Toulouse

When to visit

There’s never a bad time to visit Toulouse, France’s fourth largest city with a large student population and thriving bar scene. Temperature-wise, spring and autumn are most comfortable, but visitors flock in summer thanks to its proximity to the Atlantic and Mediterranean. In winter, locals hit the slopes in the nearby Pyrenees. It may be called the pink city due its brick color, but you’ll experience a different hue in February for the annual violet festival.

Getting around

There’s no shortage of public transport in Toulouse. A network of metros and trams makes getting around the city center easy, and the old town is compact enough to explore on foot. Unlike many of France’s larger cities, the airport is surprisingly convenient—a 15-minute drive from the city center. Visiting the surrounding vineyards? Book a tour, most wineries are in rural areas, and it’s nice to not worry about driving and wine tasting.

Traveler tips

Explore the river. Toulouse sits firmly on the Canal du Midi, a waterway constructed to link the Atlantic with the Mediterranean. It’s the Garonne River, rather than the canal, that holds the main appeal in Toulouse, though. Start at the historic bridge, Pont Neuf, and follow the river right along Quai de la Daurade. Pack a picnic and people watch, or book a boat tour to cruise all the way to the walled city of Carcassonne.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is Toulouse worth visiting?

France’s “pink city,” named after its distinctive brick, is worth visiting. Toulouse is France’s fourth largest city, with world-class museums and galleries, including the Fondation Bemberg for sculptures. There’s a natural history museum, Romanesque churches, Gothic basilicas, and a 13th-century university. It’s also home to France’s best rugby team.

What is Toulouse known for?

The “pink city” of Toulouse is famous for its building color, originating from bricks made with local clay. Its history is long. The university was built in 1229, but the city likely originates from the eighth century BC. It’s been a stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage for centuries.

What is there to do in Toulouse in 2 days?

Start at Place du Capitole—the heart of Toulouse and see city hall’s elaborately painted walls. In the afternoon, hit the markets to sample delicacies from Languedoc Roussillon. On day two, visit the Museum of Augustins for its art, and step back in time at Jacobins Church, built in 1230.

What is there to do in Toulouse at night?

There’s plenty to do in Toulouse at night. Its large student population is reflected in the nightlife and bars, ranging from clubs to pubs to jazz bars. Fat Cat speakeasy is particularly good. Even walking around the city after dark is fun. The bridge, Pont Neuf, is beautifully illuminated.

Is Toulouse close to Paris?

Absolutely not, Toulouse is on the other side of the country from Paris. Even on high-speed trains (TGV), it takes four-plus hours. It’s closer to the Spanish border (75 miles or 120 kilometers) than to Paris. As a result, Toulouse sees more sunshine and higher temperatures than Paris.

Where do you hang out in Toulouse?

The best place is on the banks of its canals or rivers. Canal du Midi runs through Toulouse, an engineering feat that links Toulouse to the Mediterranean. Also flowing through the city is the Garonne River. Grab a picnic and sit by the banks or head to a waterside restaurant.
