Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne

The palace complex is free to enter, though some areas—such as the Philippe le Bon Tower—require a guided tour and advance booking. Visitors can explore the spacious courtyards, admire the elegant façades, and access the museum from within the building. Public restrooms, a tourist information point, and nearby cafés make it a convenient stop during city explorations.

If you plan to climb the tower, reserve your spot early, as tours are limited and popular. The climb involves several steps, so comfortable footwear is recommended. The palace is large and partly open-air, so bring a layer depending on the weather. Photography is allowed in most outdoor areas, but some parts of the museum may have restrictions.

Located in the center of Dijon, the palace is easy to reach on foot from major hotels and attractions. For public transport users, Tram T1 or T2 to “Godrans” or “Darcy” are the closest stops, followed by a short walk. The area is pedestrian-friendly and well signposted, ideal for strolling through the historic streets.
