Top 5 hotels to stay in Albi

Although Albi is not a large city and can therefore be visited in a full day, spending two or even three days here will give you plenty of time to relax. Far from mass tourism, Albi offers a very pleasant living environment, while still being close to the metropolis of Toulouse. You can enjoy the beauty of its Episcopal centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, including the impressive Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile. Discover the medieval-style city centre, with its ochre-coloured buildings that have contributed to Albi’s nickname of “red city”. For a perfect stay, the choice of accommodation should not be overlooked. That’s why Navaway has put together a list of great places to stay.
