Things to do in Grenoble
While its proximity to the main ski resorts in the French Alps makes it a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, there’s plenty to keep visitors entertained in Grenoble beyond skiing. Today it’s a buzzing university and commercial centre known for its fantastic museums, nightlife and food scene.
The Bastille, a fortress perched over the town, is a big attraction. It’s reachable by gondola and offers stunning views of the mountains. The city boasts its fair share of culture including the Musée de Grenoble, which features art by the likes of Pierre Bonnard, Calder and Giacometti, the 13th century Bishops’ Palace which houses the Musée de L’Ancien Évêché and the Musée Dauphinois in a 17th century convent.
The city is also renowned for its cuisine, with famous dishes like fondue, raclette, and tartiflette. The rich gratin dauphinois, sliced potatoes and cream, is also a dish to look out for in restaurants. Expect another local product, walnuts, to appear in many dishes, especially desserts.
