Is Toulouse Worth Visiting?, Toulouse, France

If you’re planning a trip to France, Toulouse is an amazing city to explore. I spent a week here solo and loved it. I share my tips and recommendations for Toulouse below. 

If you don’t have time to read the whole article and are wondering “Is Toulouse worth visiting?” Yes! It’s safe, it’s walkable and it’s incredibly pretty (especially if you like the colour pink!)

Toulouse is a great city to visit for a weekend break so you’d want to stay for at least 3 nights. This gives you enough time to wander around the old town, visit some museums and take in all of the stunning pink architecture. I stayed here for 5 nights but I was also working online during the week here.

Toulouse has been ranked as the second safest city in France by the website Numbeo, and the general consensus from expats is that it's a safe city. As with anywhere, you should always take precautions such as walking alone at night (including by the canal) and avoiding any dark alleyways but overall Toulouse is a very safe place to visit. ......
