Situated to the south-east of the chevet of the Cathedral of Saint-André at Bordeaux, the tower of Pey-Berland serves as its bell tower, built in the 15th century in the Gothic style. Its isolation was due to the wish to provide the Cathedral with magnificent bells which would not threaten the structure with their vibrations. Designated world heritage site by UNESCO.
The Port Cailhau, thirty-five metres tall, was integrated into the city walls. In 1864, it was rented by a public letter writer and a person whose job was to weigh salt. They were both evicted in order to renovate the monument. There is a magnificent view of the oldest bridge in Bordeaux, the Pont de Pierre, from here.

I bought the 96-hour pass and worked my way through the vast majority of the attractions booklet that came with it. I visited between 2-3 attractions each day and opted for the Little Electric Train tour also. I estimate a saving of approx 25 Euros based on my visits and what I would have spent had I paid for each separately. Having the Pass helped me plan my visits and probably visit a couple more attractions than I otherwise would have. The Pass has to be bought/collected from the Tourist Information Office in the centre of town.
If you are headed to Bordeaux, don’t sleep on this pass!! It covered all public transportation (tram was super easy to use). It even covered a number of museums - the Wine Museum was amazing. It allows discounted activities as well - we rode the Ferris wheel at the Christmas Market for 1/2 price.
It is a city that catches, with a beautiful history;, the city pass, it is a matter of reckoning, we came great, also now you can enter the city I came at any time you want, use tram, which saves you a lot of time, and the tourist train under reservation, and bassin de Lkmieres although it is a little disappointing by inside, you have to see it, the logical thing would be to project the history of the war and the use of it by submarines.
This card, whenever you go 2 or 3 days to Bordeaux , you have to take them, 24 or 48h that already, you have to take note, but just by entering 2 or 3 museums, riding the tourist train or all the trips of trams and bus, you are interested, and especially the comfort of having it and not being aware of having to buy tickets every time you take a tram, which in our case were many, because we stayed away from the center
My friends & I bought the 48-hour pass and it was well worth the money. We were able to take advantage of a number of the included places & activities. The most memorable for me were the Cite du Vin and Bassins de Lumieres. City buses and the Tram system were very easy to use. The price was a bargain!
We purchased the City Pass to take advantage of all the attractions included in the Pass. Unfortunately, we ended up being a little limited due to health reasons but what we did get to, we enjoyed very much. We saw La Cité du Vin, Bassins des Lumières, boat tour on the Garrone river, Pey-Berland Tower (exterior only, could not get a time slot to climb it). We were also unable to partake in the Bordeaux Wine Tasting Workshop, which was sold out during the 72 hours our card was valid. Before purchasing this versatile card, you should calculate just how many attractions you could attend in the allotted time, to see if it makes financial sense. And at peak tourist season, I suspect those requiring a reservation could be easily sold out. One great thing the card includes is free urban public transport, which can really save you some money if you use it for all your local travels, as we did. And the tram system is fantastic! Ligne B was our favorite, as the Grand Théâtre stops along Cr de l'Intendance were just a short walk from our hotel! Clean, quiet and never a long wait, they were our favorite way of getting around Bordeaux. And the clanging of their bells just sings Bordeaux!!
Worth the money if you plan on going to the various attractions to which the card entitles you. Bordeaux is easily walked so I never used the public transport which is included (and excellent).
We used the 72 hours city Pass on trams and buses. We visited Cite Du Vin, Bassins de Lumierres, Musee du Vin and trades and some other museums. It's really worth it !!
Interesting to be able to use public transport with it. Not cheap though and therefore you add as many included visits as possible to get something out of it but there is not much interesting to visit in Bordeaux outside the Cité du Vin. For the hop on hop off you still have to pay extra but you get a discount. Also look carefully when you do your first activity because then the hours start to run. Such a system per 24 hours is not that interesting because at night you do nothing with it, they would better take a break at night so you can do more with your pass.
This pass is absolutely advisable during a first visit to Bordeaux. It has several advantages that can be found on the site that presents this map. She was very helpful.
