Tips from Accorhotels.com
- When to visit?
With on average 2 000 hours of sunshine per year, there is little chance you will be visiting the city without needing sunscreen… With the Rio Loco music Festival in June, Siestes Electroniques in July and the Occitania Festival in October, there is always a great event just around the corner!
- How to get around?
The metro lines, along with the Tisséo bus network, make it easy to get around during the day. Otherwise there are regular taxis, but also specialised tourist taxis that will get you to all the major monuments.
- Good deals:
There are six leisure centres to keep you busy in and around Toulouse: the Pech David centre and that on the île du Ramiar are the most popular, but the others are spread throughout the city: they make for great walks and sport activities, or relaxing afternoons in the sunshine.
