The region is divided into several sub-regions, each with its own distinct terroir and winemaking traditions. Some of the most famous sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. If you want to do Bordeaux in depth and would like to keep to a budget, it’s worth getting the Bordeaux Metropole City Pass, which offers unlimited tram and bus access, one city tour, plus free entry to 20 museums, including Cité du Vin. The passes cost €34 (£29) for one day, €44 (£38) for two.
In the Chartrons district, the cobbled Rue Notre Dame has lots of antiques galleries and bohemian shops.
