Our pick of the best things to do in Toulouse

Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, Toulouse always has something new to offer. Known as the "Pink City" for the colour of its brickwork, the capital of Occitanie blends historic heritage, a leading tech hub and a leisure scene that keeps on growing.

Culture and heritage: Toulouse's must-sees

Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the pink heart of the Capitole to the banks of the Canal du Midi, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.

The Capitole: Toulouse's political and historic heart

Home to the City Hall and the Capitole Theatre, this 18th-century building with its distinctive pink-brick façade is the city's ultimate symbol, also giving its name to the large square that stretches out in front of it.

Place du Capitole, one of the biggest squares in France, is the usual meeting point for locals and the perfect spot to start any visit to the city, with its terraces and its Wednesday market.

  • Price: free (interior with guided tour, priced separately)
  • Address: Place du Capitole, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: square accessible 24/7

Basilica of Saint-Sernin

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin is the largest surviving Romanesque church in Europe, built between the 11th and 12th centuries along an ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.

Its crypt holds numerous relics, while the five-storey octagonal bell tower, visible from much of the city, is one of Toulouse's most admired architectural features.

  • Price: free (crypt ticketed separately)
  • Address: Place Saint-Sernin, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: 8:30 AM to 7:15 PM (varies by season)

Canal du Midi

This 17th-century canal, also a World Heritage Site, connects Toulouse to the Mediterranean over 240 km, lined with rows of century-old plane trees that provide distinctive shade in summer.

Walking, running or simply sitting on its banks is one of the most popular plans among locals, with the option to rent a bike to cover several kilometres alongside the water.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Canal du Midi, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: open 24/7

Cité de l'Espace: the theme park dedicated to the conquest of space

Toulouse is Europe's aerospace capital, and Cité de l'Espace is the perfect reflection of that legacy: a theme park with full-scale replicas of rockets, the Mir space station and simulators recreating the astronaut experience.

It's a perfect activity for families, as educational as it is entertaining, with a planetarium included to round off the visit under an artificial starry sky.

  • Price: from €22
  • Address: Av. Jean Gonord, 31500 Toulouse
  • Hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (varies by season)

Saint-Étienne Cathedral

With its curious mix of architectural styles, the result of centuries of interrupted construction, Saint-Étienne Cathedral is one of Toulouse's most unusual buildings, with a nave and choir that don't quite line up.

Its stained-glass windows, some dating back to the 14th century, and its unfinished tower make it a less crowded visit than Saint-Sernin, but just as interesting for lovers of religious architecture.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Place Saint-Étienne, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: approx. 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Museé des Augustins

Housed in a former 14th-century Augustinian convent, this museum holds a remarkable collection of Romanesque and Gothic sculpture, as well as French painting from the 14th to the 20th century, in an architectural setting that's part of the experience itself.

Its cloister, with gardens and fountains, is one of the quietest corners of central Toulouse, perfect for a break between visits.

  • Price: from €8
  • Address: 21 Rue de Metz, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (closed Tuesdays)

Pont Neuf

Despite its name ("new bridge"), this is actually the oldest surviving bridge in Toulouse, built between the 16th and 17th centuries over the Garonne river, with a design meant to withstand the river's floods.

Crossing it on foot offers one of the best views over the city's pink-brick skyline, especially beautiful at sunset, when the light reflects on the water of the Garonne.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Pont Neuf, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: open 24/7

Jardin des Plantes

This 18th-century botanical garden, one of Toulouse's best-loved green spaces, combines French-style flowerbeds, a small natural history museum and shaded areas that are very popular during the hottest months.

Connected to other nearby parks such as the Jardin Royal or the Grand Rond, it forms a cluster of green spaces ideal for walking, having a picnic, or simply unwinding without leaving the city centre.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Allées Jules Guesde, 31000 Toulouse
  • Hours: accessible from sunrise to sunset
