By Jakob Jelling
Dijon, the capital of the region of Burgundy, is a great city full of interesting things to do and places to meet. This city usually takes several days for visitors to fully explore it and meet all its historically interesting spots, since its origins date from 2500 years ago and therefore it contains constructions and elements from many different époques. It is very recommendable to ask for guidance and information on which places to visit at a local tourism information centre in order to avoid missing any of the most interesting spots of the city.
Art has an important role within Dijon, and therefore the offer of art related activities is very wide. Among the main art related spots this city has there is the Art Sacée museum, the Vie Bourginonne museum and the Musée des Beaux Arts. Each one of these main museums allows visitors to meet different types of art as well as meet some interesting architectural elements of their buildings.

Those tourists who wish to enjoy a typical dinner from Burgundy could easily fulfill their wishes at several restaurants in the town.

While being at the centre of Dijon, there are some main areas containing several attractive spots to visit. One of these areas is the one which surrounds Rue de la Choutte.
