Places to visit in Bordeaux

While it can be quite exhilarating going off the beaten path when you're in a new place, sometimes you just have to do the touristy things to see what all the fuss is about — like exploring the Aquitaine Museum in Bordeaux.

Serious sightseers ought to check out the Contemporary Art Museum and the Chateau Haut Brion. Would you like more things to see in this action-packed city? Place de la Bourse and Place des Quinconces should keep you occupied.

Check the service times at Cathedrale St. Andre. While you're here, take some time to sit at one of the pews and enjoy some personal reflection. Need some more ideas? You don't need to know your Michelangelos from your Boticellis to enjoy an excursion to Musee des Beaux-Arts. It displays a diverse collection of works that'll engage your interest and inspire your imagination. But there's more. We heard it through the grapevine that you can't resist a good drop. Make your way to Maison du Vin de Bordeaux to discover what goes into making the most sumptuous concoctions on this earth.
