The Basilica of St. Michael is a Flamboyant Gothic church in Bordeaux's Saint-Michel quarter, built from the 14th to the 16th century and made a minor basilica in 1903. Its detached bell tower, the Flèche Saint-Michel, rises 114 metres and was built between 1472 and 1492. The church is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela.

The Jardin public is a 10.8-hectare park in central Bordeaux, created in 1746–1756 under the intendant Tourny as a formal French garden designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. It was remodelled in 1856–1858 as an English landscape garden with lawns, winding paths and a pond with two islands, and the city's botanical garden has occupied part of it since 1858.

The Musée du Vin et du Négoce is a private museum on the Bordeaux wine trade, opened in 2008 in a merchant's house built in 1720 at 41 rue Borie in the Chartrons quarter. Its collection of documents, rare bottles, films and winemaking tools fills the vaulted semi-underground cellars, and the visit ends with a commented tasting of two wines.

The Bassins des Lumières is a digital art centre in Bordeaux's former submarine base, a concrete bunker built by German forces from 1941 in the Bacalan district. Opened in 2020 by Culturespaces, it projects images set to music onto the walls of four water-filled submarine pens, each 110 metres long, with exhibitions on painters and themes that change during the year.
