Find your perfect holiday in Bordeaux

Bordeaux feels like a big open-air museum. Stroll through the city centre and make your way to the Place de la Bourse. This elegant square on the banks of the Garonne is surrounded by 18th-century buildings. Love photography? This is your spot. In front of the square stands the Trois Grâces fountain and the mirrored water basin Miroir d'eau, where the city reflects on the surface. The Grand Théâtre is another highlight: one of the most beautiful buildings in Bordeaux, with grand columns, golden details and a stunning interior.

Bordeaux has a rich history that you can see all around the city. In the Musée d'Aquitaine, you discover the history of the region, from Roman times to the present day. For modern art, head to the CAPC museum, with changing exhibitions of contemporary art. Make sure to also visit the Palais Gallien, the oldest surviving monument in the city. This former Roman amphitheatre takes you back to the days of gladiators and animal fights. The ruins still stand today and give a fascinating glimpse into the city's ancient past.

A visit to Bordeaux is not complete without discovering its world-famous wine. In and around the city, you can join wine tastings and learn about the different varieties, aromas, flavours and food pairings. The surrounding area is home to famous wine regions such as Saint-Émilion, where you walk between the vineyards and visit local wineries. Or go all in and spend the night among the vines in one of the charming châteaux of the region. A city trip and a true taste experience all in one.
