You won't find the usual bright red tour buses at the Silver Coast resort. Biarritz sightseeing tours are only available on request. The approximate price starts from 250 EUR. We recommend you to save money, download a description of sights on the Internet and explore interesting places on your own. Better yet, spend your money on a bus tour from Biarritz to other cities in Aquitaine.
Tour of the Basque capital
First, visit Bayonne, the capital of the Basque Country. You'll see the medieval St. Mary's Cathedral, stroll along the waterfront and shopping districts, sample Bayonne's famous ham at a local restaurant, and listen to organ music at St. Andrew's Cathedral.
It's also interesting to visit the garden city of Cambo, whose main attraction is the villa of French writer Edmond Rostand.
Take a trip to Spain's San Sebastian. You can climb the Monte Igueldo mountain and walk around the Miramar royal palace. The approximate cost of trips from Biarritz with a Russian guide starts from 350 EUR.
Tour with guides
Gastronomic excursions in Biarritz are also popular among tourists: to the cellars of the wine capital of the world, Bordeaux, the cognac houses of the Cognac region and the sturgeon farm in Arakshon.
Families with children are advised to take a four-hour excursion to the Oxozelaya caves (translated as "wolf paradise"). They are interesting for their large clusters of stalagmites and stalactites, as well as preserved prehistoric rock paintings.
