Everything you need to know before visiting Montpellier, France
️ Explore the historic center (Ecusson) on foot – it’s mostly pedestrianized and the narrow medieval streets aren’t car-friendly anyway.
Use the tram system to get around – it’s cheap, reliable, and the colorful trams are designed by famous artists.
Enjoy coffee at Place de la Comédie – the main square is perfect for people-watching at outdoor cafés.
️ Don’t miss the free-to-enter courtyard mansions (hôtels particuliers).
Visit Jardin des Plantes
Rent a bike to explore the 7km path to the beaches – it’s flat, scenic, and takes you through pretty Palavas-les-Flots fishing village.
Try local wines from Languedoc region – many wine shops offer tastings, and prices are better than more famous French wine regions.
Take the tram to Odysseum during the evening.
Check the event calendar – Montpellier hosts many festivals in summer.
️ Go sightseeing in mornings and evenings during summer – the Mediterranean heat can be intense midday (many shops close for lunch anyway).
️ Restaurants in the historic center can be tourist traps so walk a few streets away from Place de la Comédie for better quality and prices.
