Carcassonne Getting there & around

Getting around

Public transport

Agglo’Bus, the city bus company, has an information kiosk (04 68 47 82 22). It was in and may return to square Gambetta, currently being excavated for a megacarpark. For the moment, it’s about 150m south, beside a large concrete dome.

Buses run until about 7pm, Monday to Saturday. A single ticket/10-ticket carnet costs €1/7.

Bus No 2 runs about every 40 minutes from the Ville Basse to La Cité’s main entrance. From mid-June to mid-September, a navette (shuttle service; 9.30am-7.30pm Mon-Sat) plies between La Cité, downtown and the train station (€1.50, every 15 minutes).
