Known as the capital of the Alps, Grenoble is a vibrant city in southeastern France, nestled amongst the mountains and bursting with character. Although the mountains may be the main draw for holidaying in the Alps, spending one day in Grenoble to experience the stunning city life is a must when in the area.

With a quaint old town full of mediaeval buildings, plenty of parks for ambling and museums for a cultural experience, there’s plenty to see and do on a day trip, no matter what time of year.

Getting To & Around Grenoble

Located a short distance south of Geneva and southwest of Lyon, Grenoble is quite easy to reach from nearby cities, so if you’re spending a week or more in the Alps, it’s very easy to get to by public transport or car. If you’re beginning your journey from further afield, however, it can be slightly more tricky.

Grenoble does have an airport, Grenoble Alpes-Isère Airport, however, it doesn’t serve many international airports or have regular flight schedules outside of the ski season.

So if travelling to Grenoble from other cities such as London or Berlin , it’s much easier to fly into Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport or Geneva Airport and take a train or bus to Grenoble.

It may be easier still if you rent a car at the airport to drive yourself to Grenoble and shorten your journey to around 1 hour 15 minutes from Lyon , or 1 hour and a half from Geneva.

If you’re flying into Paris, you can easily take the high-speed TGV train from the Gare de Lyon and reach Grenoble in just 3 hours. You can view schedules here.

Within Grenoble, public transport is very easy to navigate and can take you all over the city via tram, bus and cable car.

Although Grenoble is remarkably easy to walk around on foot; despite being located in the Alps, Grenoble is actually the flattest city in France, with mountains all around the surprisingly flat terrain, so walking around the city is not only enjoyable but also easy.

If you want to speed up your visit over a day trip to Grenoble, you can make great use of the very popular tram system which has multiple lines connecting various neighbourhoods and attractions, making it quick and easy to get around the city centre.

Just buy a ticket at the machines on the platforms and travel cheaply for one hour, or over a whole day.

1-Day Grenoble Itinerary

With a dynamic blend of historical charm and outdoor opportunities, Grenoble offers a unique and captivating experience for visitors, with plenty to discover over one day in the stunning city.

Vieux Grenoble

Grenoble’s Old Town, or Vieille Ville, is the best place to start your trip to the city as it’s full of character that welcomes you in, thanks to its stunning architecture and historical marvels.

Start your morning at the imposing 18th-century Cathedral of Grenoble located in the grand square, Place de Notre Dame, complete with incredible 19th-century fountain, Fontaine des Trois Ordres.

Wandering further into the heart of the old town, past charming boutiques and buildings, you’ll arrive in Place Saint-André. If you’re visiting Grenoble on a Tuesday or Thursday, make sure to stop by Place aux Herbes en route to take a look at the regional speciality products at the local market.

Place Saint-André is one of the city’s most beautiful squares, which is home to the 15th-century Saint-André Church, the historic Café de la Table Ronde, one of France’s oldest cafés, and the incredibly ornate Palace of the Parliament.

Built in the 14th century, this palace was the headquarters of Justice in Grenoble for 500 years and is well worth a look at as you pass through the old town. You can also have guided tours in English during July and August, although the inside of the magnificent building is… less magnificent than the outside.

After a couple of hours exploring the narrow, winding streets and historical architecture of the old town, perfect for photography to capture the essence of Grenoble’s rich past, you may find yourself ready for lunch, and Café de la Table Ronde is the perfect stop.

Established in 1739, Café de la Table Ronde is one of the oldest eateries in France and showcases its lengthy experience with its historic menu that highlights classic French cuisine and regional specialities.

Try the Quenelles de brochet (pike dumplings), coq au vin, or tartiflette if you’re after a traditional taste that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.

Of course, if you want to explore local cuisine more, then you also cannot go wrong with a visit to the nearby Les Halles Saint-Claire, the central market hall.

Jardin de Ville

After lunch, a leisurely stroll is in order, and Grenoble has plenty of delightful parks to enjoy, including the nearby Jardin de Ville.

Jardin de Ville in Grenoble is an essential stop on a trip to the city, offering a serene escape with a rich historical background.

Established in the 17th century as the private garden of the Duke of Lesdiguières, the Jardin de Ville now serves as a public park in a classic French garden design, featuring symmetrical pathways, ornate statues, and a central fountain.

The park also hosts the Lesdiguières Pavilion, which now hosts cultural events and exhibitions, so take a look at the park’s cultural calendar before you visit to find out what to do in Grenoble for a day.

The park is also the location of the cable car, which takes you up to the next essential stop on your Grenoble itinerary.

Fort de La Bastille

The cable car is an iconic Grenoble landmark, but not as much as the Fort itself, so taking a trip up to the fort is an essential part of your time in Grenoble.

The Fort de La Bastille was initially built as part of the city’s defences during the Napoleonic Wars, strategically positioned atop the Bastille Hill overlooking Grenoble. Its primary purpose was military defence, serving as a key stronghold to protect the city and control access to the Alpine passes. Over the years, the fort played various roles in military operations and also served as a prison.

Today, while the Fort de la Bastille retains its historical significance, it has been repurposed for tourism and cultural activities. While not a traditional museum, parts of the fort are open to the public for exploration; visitors can wander through the fort’s corridors, ramparts, and dungeons, discovering artefacts and learning about its past through informational displays.

One of the fort’s main attractions, however, is the breathtaking panoramic views offered from the top of the hill. After stepping out of the cable car, or hiking up the winding path, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas of Grenoble, the surrounding Alps, and the meeting point of the Drac and Isère rivers.

These views are breathtaking, with the flatness and vastness of the city in full display, with the main avenue stretching straight out into the distance, with the region’s incredible natural beauty of the mountain peaks all around.

If you’ve got time, you can continue walking past the fort to hike around the hills and seek out a higher and more spectacular view of the city. Otherwise, take the cable car back down or walk down to the riverside along the trail from the fort to your next stop.

Musée de Grenoble

If you’re keen to get out of the glaring sunny on a hot summer’s afternoon or you’ve been caught in a shower, head over to the Musée de Grenoble for a couple of hours to catch a glimpse of some beautiful artwork.

The Museum of Grenoble is one of France’s most prestigious art museums with an impressive collection of works ranging from ancient to contemporary, including some by notable artists like Monet, Matisse, and Picasso.

In addition to its extensive art collection, the Musée de Grenoble frequently hosts temporary exhibitions and cultural events, so whether you’re an art enthusiast or a casual visitor, there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, relaxation, or simply a cultural event, the museum provides an enriching experience that can be enjoyed at your own pace.

Open from 10 am to 6.30 pm every day except Tuesdays, entrance to the museum’s permanent exhibit is free for all.

Those more interested in ancient history than art may instead want to visit the nearby Musée archéologique Saint-Laurent. This archaeological museum has countless local finds along with a 6th-century crypt very much worth exploring.

Tour Perret

If you’re keen to discover more of Grenoble on foot, you can take a 15-minute stroll south to the Tour Perret located in the Parc Paul Mistral via two delightful parks, or if you’re in a rush or wish to rest your legs, you can take the number 16 bus for a few minutes instead.

When walking, take a detour through Place de Verdun and Jardin de Plantes Joséphine Baker to enhance your journey. Place de Verdun, honouring a World War I battle, is a lively square surrounded by stunning buildings, while the Jardin de Plantes Joséphine Baker is a tranquil botanical garden with diverse plant species, named after the celebrated exotic dancer and singer of the 1920s.

Although you may be eager to reach the tower as you can clearly see it from a distance, the entire Parc Paul Mistral is worth exploring, as it was designed as an exhibition space in 1925, although now the only remaining remnant is the Perret Tower.

Spanning 33 hectares, Parc Paul Mistral is the largest park in Grenoble and has numerous paths dissecting the trees, ponds and lawns that host a number of concerts and other cultural events throughout summer.

The tower itself, Tour Perret, was designed by Auguste Perret and showcases the 1920s Art Deco style using reinforced concrete and was one of Europe’s first skyscrapers, standing at an impressive 86 metres high.

Although still with a lift and spiral staircase, the tower is no longer accessible due to damage sustained over time, however, it remains an important structure to visit, and looks particularly impressive at night when the structure is lit up.

Grenoble Nightlife

While Grenoble is not as famous for its nightlife as larger cities like Paris , it still offers a vibrant and diverse scene, with several trendy districts full of bustling bars and restaurants open late into the night.

Spending an evening out in one of these areas is a great way to end your day, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture and social atmosphere after exploring the city’s sights during the day.

Popular districts like Place Notre-Dame and Quartier Championnet buzz with energy as locals and visitors gather in cafes, bars, and restaurants as the sun sets.

Sampling local drinks like Chartreuse liqueur, produced by monks in nearby Chartreuse Monastery, or enjoying a refreshing cocktail made with regional ingredients adds a taste of Grenoble’s unique culinary heritage to your evening experience.

Génépi liqueur is a local tipple made by steeping the herb in alcohol and sugar, resulting in a fragrant and slightly bitter digestif. Plus, wild berries like raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are abundant in the Alpine region surrounding Grenoble and are frequently found in cocktails in the area.

Rue Brocherie near Place Notre Dame in the old town has a number of bars frequented by Grenoble youth and social butterflies, while BLIND PIG is a popular bar in the Championnet district in the south of the city.

If you’re after a more upmarket end to your Grenoble day trip, then head to Maison Fantin Latour. This haute cuisine restaurant is quite expensive, but it’s well worth the price as it’s in an exceptional location and serves extraordinary food using local ingredients.

Have More Time?

Since Grenoble doesn’t have a very nearby airport, it’s not so easy to take a day trip from further afield, and much better to visit while staying for a longer period in the area.

If you’re enjoying a holiday in the area, you can also spend more than one day and take the time to go canyoning or explore local hiking routes in the Vercors range of the French Alps or visit another museum or park in the city.

Grenoble offers numerous trails of varying levels of difficulty, although each has remarkable scenery. The Chemin de la Mature is a fairly easy hike around the top of the Bastille Hill behind the fort and follows an old military path along the mountainside, offering panoramic views of the Alps.

Or you could head to Lac Achard in the Belledonne Massif. Accessible by foot or short bus ride from Grenoble, the hike to Lac Achard is relatively easy and suitable for beginners with the trail passing through forests and meadows, culminating at the picturesque Lac Achard, where hikers can relax and enjoy the scenery.

If you’re looking for other things to do in Grenoble centre,  the Museum of the Resistance and Deportation of Isère offers a fascinating insight into WWII for those with a historical interest.

Its commendable collection of artefacts, documents, and personal testimonials provides valuable perspective into the bravery and sacrifice of those who resisted Nazi occupation and faced deportation.

Through immersive exhibits and multimedia presentations, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, the experiences of resistance fighters in France, and the impact of deportation on individuals and local communities.

Whether you have a passing interest in history or a deep curiosity about wartime resistance movements, a visit to this museum in Grenoble promises to be a thought-provoking and enlightening experience.

14 Top-Rated Attractions & Places to Visit in Grenoble

Written by Lisa Alexander Updated Dec 27, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Enclosed by the majestic mountain peaks of the French Alps , Grenoble has one of the prettiest backdrops of any city in France. The glorious scenery offers a breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively.

Beautiful gardens are scattered throughout Grenoble, and the town's natural surroundings beckon you to get lost in the flowering meadows and densely wooded pine forests, or breeze down powdery ski slopes at a nearby ski resort.

Despite being a modern urban metropolis, Grenoble has a quaint Vieille Ville (Old Town). The city also boasts many superb museums, testimony to a rich heritage as capital of the historic Dauphiné region.

Learn about the best places to visit with our list of the top tourist attractions and things to do in and around Grenoble.

The historic city center is a delightful maze of pedestrian-only streets lined with lovely old houses and narrow cobblestone lanes leading to elegant squares.

At the heart of the Vieille Ville (Old Town), the Musée de l'Ancien Évêché occupies a 13th-century Episcopal palace, which is classified as a Monument Historique . The museum illustrates Grenoble's history from ancient times through the Middle Ages until the 20th century.

Nearby, the 13th- to 15th-century Cathédrale Notre-Dame surprises you with its glorious high-vaulted Gothic interior, a striking contrast to its plain facade.

A few steps from the cathedral is the Place aux Herbes , where a traditional open-air farmers' market is held every day (in the morning) except Mondays. Besides its outdoor space, the square features a covered market hall that dates to the 19th century.

At the nearby Place de Gordes , you can soak up the elegant 18th-century ambience while dining at one of the restaurants or cafés with outdoor seating. A short walk from the Place de Gordes, the Jardin de Ville inspires relaxation or picnics under the shady sycamore trees.

Also near the Jardin de Ville, the Ancien Palais de Justice (Palais du Parlement du Dauphiné) was the Parliament House of the Dauphiné Estates for more than 500 years. Stendhal based the character, Julien Sorel, in his novel Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black ) on a historical figure who went to trial at the Palais de Justice.

The Palais du Parlement is found on the Place Saint-André next to France's second-oldest café, the Café de la Table Ronde , which dates to 1739.

A surprising modern monument in the Vieille Ville, the Musée de Grenoble presents masterpieces within 18,000 square meters of exhibition space. The sleek contemporary building is surrounded by a park filled with sculptures.

This expansive museum boasts one of the most prestigious collections of fine arts in France. The assortment spans the 13th century to the 21st century. Especially well represented are the works of the Italian Renaissance, the 17th-century Ecole Française, and modern art.

Highlights of the museum's European paintings are Rubens' distinctive Saint Grégoire painting, the ethereal L'Assomption de la Vierge by Philippe de Champaigne, the realistic L'Entrée du Grand Canal by Canaletto, the evocative Tête de la Grande Odalisque by Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, and the captivating Portrait de Madeleine Bernard by Paul Gauguin.

Among the Impressionist masterpieces are Vue de Montmartre depuis la Cité des Batignolles by Alfred Sisley and the magnificent L'Etang de Giverny painting by Claude Monet.

Exceptional modern art pieces are Intérieur aux Aubergines by Henri Matisse and Le Songe d'Une Nuit d'Eté by Marc Chagall.

The museum has a boutique and a casual restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Place de Lavalette and a monumental sculpture by Alexander Calder.

Address: 5 Place de Lavalette, Grenoble

The Fort de la Bastille crowns a hilltop and offers Grenoble's best panoramic views. You can see glimpses of Mont Blanc and the Massif du Vercors peaks in the distance.

To arrive here, you can hike up to the top, or for an easier route, hop in one of the bubble-shaped cars of the Téléphérique de Grenoble-Bastille cableway.

The exhilarating Téléphérique ride begins at Quai Stéphane-Jay at the edge of the Jardin de Ville , and travels through spectacular scenery on the way up to the Fort de la Bastille.

The Fort de la Bastille was formerly a prison; now it houses a contemporary art center (the Centre d'Art Bastille ) and a military museum ( Musée des Troupes de Montagne ).

For adventurous types, there are plenty of things to do. Acrobastille Parc de Loisirs offers a chance to participate in mountaineering and acrobatic sports, such as ziplining, rappelling, and labyrinth courses. If you enjoy nature walks, then you will appreciate the scenic trails around the Fort de la Bastille.

The Fort de la Bastille's fine-dining restaurant, Chez le Pèr'Gras , offers traditional Dauphinois cuisine and breathtaking views. The outdoor patio has a romantic ambience under the linden trees.

Another gourmet option is the Restaurant O 2 Téléphérique , which specializes in contemporary-style French cooking. This restaurant is more casual and has an outdoor terrace where guests can admire the city and mountain vistas. You may purchase discounted tickets for the Téléphérique ride if you have a reservation at the Restaurant O 2 Téléphérique.

The Musée Archéologique Saint-Laurent displays its collection within the Eglise Saint-Laurent, which is classified as a Monument Historique .

The Eglise Saint-Laurent was an early Christian church and has retained rare 8th-century Carolingian elements. Take in the architectural splendor of this ancient sanctuary and then visit its fascinating 6th-century crypt that contains ancient mausoleums.

Within the space that was the church's cloister, archaeological objects are displayed in a series of exhibits. Religious objects form a large part of the collection. Visual presentations put each piece in context, so that you get a sense of the religious history that dates back 1,500 years.

Address: Place Saint-Laurent, Grenoble

When the weather is pleasant, many families with kids come here for the children's playground and locals picnic on the lawns. During the summertime, the Jardin de Ville is used as a venue for festivals and concerts.

The garden was once the private property of the Dukes of Lesdiguières and became a public park in 1719. Within the garden is the 17th-century Hôtel de Lesdiguières , formerly the Duke of Lesdiguières' residence (now the Maison de l'International , which promotes cultural exchanges).

Grenoble had one of the largest Resistance movements in France during the Second World War (from 1941 until the Liberation). The city was known as the "capital of the Resistance fighters".

The history of Grenoble's Resistance movement is illustrated at this museum.

Photographs, original drawings, newspaper clippings, and other documents help bring the story to life.

The museum is open to the public free of charge and also doubles as a memorial site.

Stendhal ranks among the most illustrious of French authors. He lived in Paris during France's Second Restoration period and was celebrated for his novel Le Rouge et le noir ( The Red and the Black ) published in 1830.

This small museum displays mementos and gives an insight into Stendhal's personal life. Historical paintings provide context, illustrating Stendhal's biography. A highlight of the museum is Stendhal's library.

Grenoble: deux hommes blessés par balle, un ado de 15 ans gravement atteint

Un écusson de la police nationale (illustration) - DENIS CHARLET / AFP

Une double fusillade a fait deux blessés, dont un grave, ce jeudi 23 mai à Grenoble , a indiqué le procureur de la République de Grenoble Éric Vaillant. À ce stade des investigations, les deux faits ne peuvent être reliés, précise le parquet.

Aux alentours de 22h15, plusieurs détonations sont signalées rue Sainte-Ursule à Grenoble. Sur place, les forces de l’ordre découvrent un adolescent de 15 ans au sol. La victime est gravement blessée. Des impacts de balles sont présents au niveau de ses jambes et de sa tête. L’adolescent est évacué à l’hôpital avec son pronostic vital engagé.

Dans un contexte de maîtrise d'un point de deal

Le jeune homme est un mineur étranger. Il est suspecté d’être le "vendeur du jour" du point de deal de l’Alma. Sur place, les policiers découvrent plusieurs douilles de 7,62, calibre de Kalachnikov, rue des Minimes.

"Ces faits surviennent dans le contexte de la maîtrise du point de deal de l’Alma qui suscite les convoitises de la concurrence depuis la condamnation, le 17 octobre 2023, des 13 responsables du site lors d’un important procès" ayant abouti à la condamnation des frères Hamou et de leurs co-auteurs à des peines allant de 12 mois à huit ans d'emprisonnement ferme.

Le même soir, plusieurs détonations sont signalées rue Marcel Peretto à Grenoble. Aux alentours de 22h30, les enquêteurs découvrent un blessé par balles. La victime est consciente. Elle présente des impacts de tir au niveau des jambes. Elle a été transportée à l’hôpital sans que son pronostic vital ne soit engagé.

Le parquet de Grenoble a saisi les policiers de la division de la criminalité organisée et spécialisée des deux enquêtes après les fusillades.
