Bordeaux is a city packed with tourist attractions that will keep even the most intrepid of travellers entertained. From cathedrals and botanical gardens to riverside walks and acres of vineyards, Bordeaux has the perfect mix of things to do for a truly entertaining holiday.
Things to see and do in Bordeaux
Cathédrale Saint-André
This primarily 13th and 14th century cathedral dominates the Bordeaux skyline, so don’t worry, you won’t miss out on seeing it. Boasting an impressive belfry bristling with gargoyles, the cathedral’s tower offers breathtaking view out over the city.
Musée des Arts Décoratifs
Witness the finery of the last three centuries. The Museum of Decorative Arts brings together everything from silverwork to glasswork, furniture to weaponry, all under the roof of a sumptuous private mansion.
Botanical Gardens
For a relaxing break from the city’s hustle and bustle, take a stroll through its refined 19th century botanical garden, whose original design was founded in the 17th century. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic on a hot summer’s day.
Les Quais
A riverside esplanade, the quays are perfect for a stroll along the banks of the Garonne, and the best place to go if you’re looking to board a riverboat. The area is also teeming with nightlife, so get your dancing shoes on and head on over.
Tour the vineyards
The first thing you think when you hear Bordeaux is wine, and there’s certainly a lot of it here! The second-largest wine-growing region in the world is full of vineyards, many of which offer tours to visitors. Some of the best known are Château Haut Brion and Château Lafite Rothschild. Make sure you book in advance.
Drink
If you’re looking to hit the bars, you’ll want to check out La Victoire, one of the livelier parts of town. You’ll come across bars of all varieties from live music halls to quieter jazz cafes.
