2025 Bordeaux Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#australiatrip Bordeaux, France, is a dream destination for wine lovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers seeking refined experiences. Famous for its vineyards and exquisite wines, the Bordeaux region offers tours of iconic estates like Château Margaux and Saint-Émilion. The city itself is a masterpiece of 18th-century architecture, with highlights such as the majestic Place de la Bourse, the stunning Cité du Vin wine museum, and the Gothic beauty of Saint-André Cathedral. Bordeaux’s lively atmosphere shines in areas like the Saint-Pierre district, packed with charming cafes, restaurants, and boutiques. With its riverfront promenades, cultural events, and gourmet food scene, Bordeaux perfectly blends elegance and vibrancy.

I've been to almost all the major cities in France, but this is my personal favorite. Bordeaux is the city of wine. The streets are intricate and winding, so it's fun just to wander around, and the cityscape is beautiful. I also like the fact that it doesn't have the typical tourist atmosphere like Paris. I also went on an optional tour to visit chateaux with tastings. There is also a wine museum with exhibits about wine, although it is a little far from the center. #EuropeTravel #France #Bordeaux

Intimate destination with colorful decor offering hot drinks, plus pastries & brunch. Since we were in Bordeaux, we decided to visit this beautiful cafe . So far, we have only been there once, but the atmosphere left a great impression on us. The Coffee was great and that fruit tartelette was good . As someone whose passion is pastry and baking, this one was the best we have ever had and tasted. And for very good price, especially compared to the competition around. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Bordeaux, hub of the famed wine-growing region, is a port city on the Garonne River in southwestern France. It’s known for its Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André, 18th- to 19th-century mansions and notable art museums such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux. Public gardens line the curving river quays. The grand Place de la Bourse, centered on the Three Graces fountain, overlooks the Miroir d’Eau reflecting pool. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

The cathedral is a Gothic cathedral with attractive 19th century stained glass windows and a distinctive choir with carved misericordes. Bordeaux cathedral originates from the Romanesque church of Saint Andrew which was built in the 11th century. It gradually gained influence over its main rival, the church of Saint Severinus which had the relics of companions of Saint John to attract pilgrims. In 1137 thirteen year old Eleanor of Aquitaine married the future Louis VII in Saint Andrew's cathedral. Louis's father died just months later and she became the Queen of France. Only a wall in the Nave remains of the original Romanesque church but the current Gothic cathedral was constructed over the 14 and 15th centuries. A separate bell tower, the Pey-Berland tower, was also built over this period. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #freehotelstay #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

The CAPC museum of contemporary art in Bordeaux offers a year-round program of temporary exhibitions. It is housed in the former customs warehouse for colonial goods. In this gigantic space, artists make the place their own: a room fitted out with stone vaults and columns, staircases in which you can get lost. Not forgetting the Arc en Rêve architecture centre, dedicated to urban planning. Go up to the terrace of the Café du Musée for a drink. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

The Grosse Cloche is one of the oldest belfries in France, in the heart of the city The Latin inscription on the inside of the Grosse Cloche (literally "Big Bell") reads "I ring the hours and my voice is a call to arms, (…) I sing for happy events and weep for the dead". The bell was cast in 1775 and weighs no less than 7,750 kilos! Christened "Armande-Louise", it rings 6 times a year for major celebrations such as Bastille Day, VE Day, and Remembrance Day and also the first Sunday of each month at noon. The gateway where the bell is hung also had a defensive function and served as a prison. Young people who misbehaved were confined there, shut in by a door 10 cm thick with enormous bolts. It was joked at the time that they stayed in the "Hotel du Lion d’Or" – an allusion to the weather vane on the central dome with a representation of a lion, symbolising the kings of England. This gateway is open for visits. A guide will show you the strange dungeons still haunted by the memory of people who did not respect curfew or public order. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

This place is so amazing and fun and for only 11 euros (for students) I’ve been to plenty of visual art museums but this one is gigantic. It’s so fun to walk around in the dark with the music and lights reflecting on the water. At the time of my visit, we saw the shows of Salvador Dali and Gaudi. The shows just repeat every hour or so. Great value to chill. I just wish that there were more shows to watch.

If you are a fan of sweet French oastires, one way is to visit the French country itself. Marche Des Capucins is a place where many called it like a farmers market but this place opens daily except Mondays where the stall vendors will sell local produce spreads, fresh baked pastries, freshly slice cheese and own family business wine and of course fresh coffee and other French delicacies. Eating out in France is quite expensive especially in restaurants and cafes, so this is one of the next cheaper option of eating out on take aways. At least the weather isn't as humid when you do take out and sit along the many sears on the side roads. #celebratewithtrip #europe #bordeaux #farmersmarket #france #market #pastries #sweettreats

Located in the western France not far from Spain Bordeaux is very beautiful city. It is also very close to the Atlantic Ocean so is good additional destination for people who decided to explore the beaches of western France. The most famous attraction is the water mirror right at the main square. #happynewyear

#springwander Bordeaux, France, was an absolute treat in spring! The city’s elegant architecture and vibrant atmosphere made it a joy to explore. I visited the Cité du Vin (€22 entry), an interactive wine museum with a tasting session at the top—totally worth it! The Place de la Bourse and its stunning Water Mirror were picture-perfect, and a stroll along the Garonne River was so relaxing. With amazing wine bars, charming squares, and beautiful gardens, Bordeaux was the perfect mix of culture and leisure! 🍷 #Bordeaux #France #WineLovers #SpringTrip #CityVibes #TravelDiaries

pretty place

When you think of wine, you think of Bordeaux, and the city is world-famous for its wine production. If you're a wine lover, I think it's a must-visit destination!! Bordeaux has a wine museum called Cité du Vin, which is a typical Bordeaux museum. You can learn about wine in a wide range of ways, from the basic history of wine to the production method and characteristics of French wine. (The free audio guide is also available in Japanese, so we recommend using it.) After visiting each exhibition room, you can sample some wines in the tasting area. (Tasting is a paid option.) The wine shop inside the museum is also a space lined with wines, so it's worth visiting. Be sure to stop by. Spot name: Cité du Vin Location: 134 Quai de Bacalan, 33300 Bordeaux Opening hours: ▶︎2025/1/5 - 2025/4/4 10am to 6pm *Open until 7pm on Saturdays in March ▶︎2025/4/5-2025/11/1 10am to 7pm ▶︎2025/11/2-2026/1/4 Weekdays and Sundays: 10am to 6pm Saturdays and long holidays: 10am to 7pm 💰Admission fee: *Varies depending on ticket plan, so check the official website! #wine #Europetrip #France #0yentripFebruary2025

#londontraveltip Also known as the Palace of Westminster, the Houses of Parliament serve as the home of the UK’s government, housing the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The current building, completed in 1870, was designed by Sir Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin after the original medieval palace was destroyed by fire in 1834.

#celebrateit Also known as the Bordeaux Cathedral, this old structure houses the Marcadé collection that includes religious works like liturgical ornaments, paintings and sculptures. A royal cathedral Obviously, it is not like the cathedrals in the Paris region. Although it is not easy to compete with Amiens, Chartres or Reims, Saint André's heterogeneous style is nevertheless unexpected and endearing, especially because of its freestanding bell tower. Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII, the future king of France, were married here in 1137, as were Anne of Austria and Louis XIII.

This is Bordeaux, France, a world cultural heritage site, next to the Garonne River, with spectacular city gates and squares. You must come and see it, you won't regret it~

#FebruaryTravelSupportEvent That park was really nice. The atmosphere was completely different because there was a pond. It was great that each plant was explained, so I could learn while walking, and it was even better because I could feel relaxed in nature. The botanical garden was also really well-maintained. There was no admission fee, and it was very informative because it was well organized so that I could learn about the plants one by one. And the pretty building in front of it really set the mood!

#February travel support event One of Bordeaux landmarks!! I rented a bike and went around the cathedral and square of Bordeaux. There was more to see in Bordeaux than I thought. The fountain was really cool. But there were a lot of pigeons and a lot of trams.ㅠㅠ It was funny that water came out of the horse statue's nose. The monument was also impressive.

#2월여행지원금이벤트 We had an amazing time at Eric Artz's Candlelight concert. The aesthetics and the acoustics of the place provides a magical atmosphere. Eric's performance created an out of this world experience.

#magicalxmastrip Saint Peter’s Square is one of the most iconic and beautiful public spaces in the world, located in Vatican City, at the heart of the Roman Catholic Church. It is an open space right in front of St. Peter's Basilica. It is often the site of significant events and gatherings. The architectural of the square is impressive where it is elliptical in shape, framed by colonnades (columns) designed by Bernini and at the center of the square, you’ll find an Egyptian obelisk. During Christmas, the square is beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and a Nativity scene that are set up annually.
