Five things to see/do in Toulouse: The Basilique de Saint-Sernin (St. Sernin Basilica) is the oldest Romanesque church in Europe (dating back to the late 11th century) and has a crypt with lots of interesting historic relics.
The Church of Les Jacobins, another one of Toulouse’s most famous religious landmarks, has an impressive neo-gothic interior, including pillars in the form of palm trees.
Walk around the Place du Capitole, one of the city’s most popular squares. While there, check out the Donjon du Capitol, a historic defensive tower dating back to the 16th c.
Located in an Augustinian convent, the Musee des Augustins (Augustinian Museum) offers a nice collection of fine art and sculpture. A couple of other museums worth checking out are the Fondation Bemberg and the Museum of Toulouse (Museum of Natural History).
If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, relax at the Jardin des Plantes, a huge park offering lush vegetation and lots of recreational activities.
