Dijon – attractions in the capital of Burgundy

The region is famous not only for wine, but also... mustard. In the capital city of Burgundy – Dijon, where this famous mustard-based sauce is produced, there is even a museum that introduces you to the history and methods of the production of Dijon mustard. In Dijon you must go for a walk along the atmospheric historic streets and to the wonderful parks – the botanical garden l'Arquebuse, Colombière Park or Darcy Garden. There are also interesting museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts located in the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Archaeological Museum.
