Bordeaux, the Aquitaine region’s capital,<\/strong> is a city in southwestern France, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also been on the list of recommended cities to visit by Lonely Planet, and we have visited it twice now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Things to Do in Bordeaux in 1 or 2 days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first time we went to Bordeaux, we arrived in the afternoon\/night with the idea of taking a walk and resting, as our current trip was in England and Scotland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we could do some sightseeing in Bordeaux, and we loved what little we saw of the city. So on this second trip, we spent a little more time getting the full experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are looking for information on what to see in Bordeaux<\/strong> and what to visit in a day or two in this city, this is the right article for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did the circuit of the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Bordeaux to experience and visit the places and monuments that led UNESCO to distinguish this city as a World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bordeaux<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Monument des Girondins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This route begins at the monument to the Girondins, which was erected in tribute to these deputies who were guillotined because they were accused of conspiring against the Republic in 1793. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their honor, this 43-meter-high column was erected between 1895 and 1901.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gobineau House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This building is called the Flatiron Bordeaux. If you have been to New York or have seen photos, series or movies you will know this famous building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u2026 in Bordeaux, they have their own Flatiron that was built in 1788, and inside you\u2019ll find the houses of the Interprofessional Council of Bordeaux Wine and its wine bar.<\/p>\n\n\n

Grand Theatre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They say that the staircase of this beautiful building inspired the architect of the Op\u00e9ra Garnier in Paris, and it\u2019s a must-visit place in Bordeaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portico precedes it with twelve stone statues; nine muses accompanied by Minerva, Venus, and Juno. Access can be done with the City Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre-Dame Church<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Church of Notre Dame has nothing to do with the Parisian of the same name. It was built by the Jacobins and had a Baroque style. The entrance square has been used to shoot several films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bordeaux,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Porte Dijeaux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has been the gateway to the western part of Bordeaux since Roman times. Voisin built the one we see today between 1748 and 1753. It bore the name of Gate of the Dolphin until the French Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bordeaux,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Palais Rohan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll continue walking along Rue des Remparts and arrive at Rohan Palace and the City Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This palace was first an archbishop\u2019s palace in 1784. Later in 1800, it became the prefecture of Gironde, imperial palace, royal residence, and then in 1837, it became the town hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s accessible with the City Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
