Packing Lists: General items to take to Carcassonne

    • Luggage And Bags: A day backpack for carrying water, jacket, souvenirs etc. If staying in centre of old city, avoid bringing a suitcase, as cars are generally not allowed in old city, and it may be difficult to lug a suitcase up the cobblestone streets, especially during middle of day when packed with day trippers.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good sturdy walking shoes, as spend a lot of time on uneven cobblestones.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Suncream and sunglasses for summer. Got quite warm and sunny at end of August. Didn't see any pharmacies in old city, so to avoid a trip in to new city bring any medical/toiletry items you can imagine you might need.

    Photo Equipment: Take lots of film or a big memory card, as there are photo opportunities galore.

     Reminds me of the city of Tallinn wiht the city walls lit up at night - Tallinn is very beautiful too - although Tallinn is not considered the most safe place at night - pity.    		kytra Sun May 27, 2007 15:14 UTC
     Ever been to Dubrovnik, in Croatia? It is very impressive also and in a more medieval way. Carcassonne is kinda too holywoodish... but nonentheless an excellently preserved city, as it is Mdina from Malta for example.
