Last admission to the castle and ramparts is typically 45–60 minutes before closing.
Early morning or golden hour offers softer light, cooler temperatures, and calmer walkways.
Reserve in advance — popular time slots sell out in high season and on weekends.
Many French monuments offer free first Sundays from November to March — check if the policy applies to Carcassonne this season.
