The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Montpellier, Occitanie

June 29, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Getting sick on vacation is a major drag, but if you have to be under the weather, Montpellier is an ideal place to do it. People have studied medicine here for centuries—the Moors established medical schools in the 9th century, and the Université Montpellier’s school of medicine was founded in 1220. Once the local docs give you a clean bill of health, explore the cathedral, mansions and opera house.

Place Saint-Roch

Reviewed By 43walters43 - Ligonier, United States

This little plaza bustles with activity. Several narrow walking streets stretch into the historic district. Walk as many of these streets as you can. This area was my wife's favorite stop of a 4 week trip in Europe. Shops with displays of clothes, postcards, dry goods, novelties and souvenirs in the narrow corridors, banners overhead, open windows above decorated with planters and the occasional laundry, cafes, and a church. The historical area is much larger than I expected for this size city. Just roam around, get lost, take in the atmosphere.

Place de la Comedie

Reviewed By ralphj718 - Limoux, France

A large square in the centre of the city with the opera house close to the statue of the 3 graces and at the other side the tourist information office at the end of the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle. There is a large selection of cafés and bars along one side of the square. You can also catch the tourist train here.

A stunning entry way into this part of the city. Lots of beautiful monuments and statues all around. Well worth seeing.
