Bordeaux is an elegant city in southwest France, world-famous for its wine and its sweeping neoclassical architecture along the Garonne River. Its walkable historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the shimmering Miroir d'eau to a glass of grand cru just steps from the vineyards, this graceful city is a treat for all the senses!

When to go

Late spring and early fall (May to June, September to October) offer mild weather and align with vineyard activity, including the autumn grape harvest. Summers are warm and busy.

Good to know before you go

The currency is the euro and French is the language, though English is common in tourist spots. Getting around is a pleasure: the modern tram network plus buses and a bike-share cover the city cheaply, and the centre is very walkable, so a car is really only worth it for touring the outlying vineyards, where organized wine tours are an easy car-free alternative. Tipping is not required since service is included, but rounding up is a nice gesture.
