Of course the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Bordeaux is wine. But besides visiting its modern wine museum ‘Cité du Vin’ and doing a wine tasting to test or expand your palate, the city has a lot more to offer. Not only is the center full of beautiful majestic buildings and monuments, but Europe’s largest sand dune is actually just an hour away and doubtlessly one of the highlights of the area.
While we could’ve easily stayed another week in every single one of these places, our one-week road trip allowed us to spend a day or two in each location and enjoy the great mix of stunning nature and architecture. Endless lake views contrasting beautiful buildings and squares. Hiking up hills versus sipping Negroni in a courtyard of one of the many Aperitivo bars that can be found around every corner. Watching the sunset on an island of the Lago Maggiore or from a rooftop in Milan. Road tripping the north of Italy most definitely has it all.
