For first-time visitors, 2 to 3 days is usually enough to explore Perpignan comfortably and experience its main attractions.
- Day 1: Focus on the city center – visit the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, Le Castillet, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral, and stroll through the historic streets. Enjoy local cuisine at nearby cafes and markets.
- Day 2: Explore museums such as the Hyacinthe Rigaud Museum, Campo Santo, and other cultural sites. Spend time at Les Halles Vauban market and try local specialties.
- Day 3 (optional): Take a day trip to nearby destinations such as Collioure, a charming coastal village, or Argelès-sur-Mer for beaches and relaxation.
If your trip is mainly for sightseeing within the city, 2 full days can cover the highlights, while adding a third day allows for a more relaxed pace and nearby excursions.
