About Dijon
An enormously appealing French city filled with medieval and Renaissance buildings, Dijon was once one of Europe’s most powerful hubs. Home to the Dukes of Burgundy, it flourished as a centre for commerce, art and trade. Modern-day Dijon fuses this fascinating history with a lively, forward-thinking attitude, excellent wine — this is the heart of Burgundy’s wine-growing region — and a brilliant foodie scene. Accommodation options reflect this fusion, with our list of the best places to stay in Dijon featuring restored coaching inns, opulent residences and impressive façades hiding ultra-modern interiors. There’s something here for families, groups of friends and couples!
Delve into Dijon’s rich culture with a guided walking tour of the city centre, and visits to the Palais des Ducs et des Etats, the Eglise Notre Dame, the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne and the Tour Philippe le Bon. The 22-stage Owl's Trail will be a hit with travellers of all ages, and is another fun way to discover the city. Fantastic museums include the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne, the Musée Archéologique, the Musée des Beaux-Arts — housed in the Palais des Ducs — and the Musée Magnin. Foodies, on the other hand, can savour more Dijon mustard than you can imagine at the Friday and Saturday markets, as well as sampling various regional specialities at the city’s cafés, restaurants and bars.
For wine tastings and vineyard tours, take a day trip beyond the city. You’ll also find ample opportunities to hike, cycle and horse ride. Return to one of the best places to stay in Dijon to tuck into yet more delectable fare.
