Before we start our list of must-see attractions in Collioure, here are some tips for your next getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get to Collioure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The nearest airport is Perpignan-Rivesaltes<\/strong><\/a>. From there, bus N\u00b07 will take you to Collioure. Alternatively, there are taxis available. You can also reach the city from the Spanish airports of Barcelona and Girona via the Perpicat bus line<\/strong>. Simplest of all is the train: the city centre is very close to the station, accessible from Perpignan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where should you park to visit Collioure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are several car parks in the city centre or very close to it (Le Glacis, parking de la Ri\u00e8re, etc.). But they are expensive and often full in summer. Fortunately, in high season, there is the Cap Dourats car park<\/strong>, located a 20-minute walk from the historic centre. A shuttle service is even available. Another car park, the Ch\u00e2teau d’Eau<\/strong>, is located a little out of the way on the road to Madeloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where should you sleep in Collioure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to hotels in the region, there is choice. Do you want comfortable and central accommodation for your visit? Why not choose the Hotel Princes de Catalogne<\/a><\/strong> (from 60 euros per night), located in a quiet square just 400 meters from the beach? Alternatively, if you are more looking for authenticity, then opt for Le Mas des Citronniers<\/a><\/strong> which offers rooms from 92 euros per night in a traditional Catalan building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n
