Bordeaux is a city with a rich history and a unique atmosphere: the ancient port on the Garonne, the world center of winemaking and a beautifully preserved historical center, included in the UNESCO list. Here the elegant classical architecture of the XVIII century, narrow shopping streets and quiet embankments intertwine, and walks around the city fill with a sense of French sophistication and leisurely pleasure.
Man-made sights of Bordeaux amaze with diversity: the long street of St. Catherine beckons shopping and walks, Burs Square near the Garonne River charms with the appearance of ancient facades and a mirror of water, and the monument to the Girondists reminds of the turbulent pages of history. The Cayo Gate is a symbol of the medieval entrance to the city, the cathedrals of St. Andrew and St. Peter impress with Gothic silhouettes and stained glass windows. No less interesting are flea markets, museums and numerous architectural ensembles that tell about different eras of the city.
The natural corners around Bordeaux are no less attractive: the wide Garonne River and its embankments create cozy routes for walking, and the vineyards of Medoc and the terroirs of St. Emilion offer picturesque views and quiet country roads. Sea lovers will find nearby the beach of Montalivier with the sand dunes of the Atlantic, and in the vicinity there are valleys with castles and green landscapes, including the famous Dordogne Valley, where nature and history go together.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map, get brief information about each place and build a convenient route around the city and surroundings. Mark the points of interest, compare distances and plan the best route for a walk or wine day – all this will help you decide what to see and where to go first.
You choose the format of the trip yourself: leisurely independent walks around the historical center or ordering a tour with local guides, who will more deeply reveal the history of the cathedrals, tell about winemaking traditions and show hidden pearls. Guides will help to make individual routes, open little-known corners and make acquaintance with the city alive and informative.
Come to Bordeaux to feel the atmosphere of wine, history and calm promenades. Discover attractions that inspire, make your itinerary and come back for new discoveries – the city always leaves room for the next walk.
