Čo robiť v Pau

Pau Essentials

Pau's identity is anchored by the Château de Pau, the 16th-century birthplace of King Henry IV. The city is famous for the Boulevard des Pyrénées, a 1.8-kilometer promenade offering panoramic views of the mountain range. This selection features the historic Funiculaire de Pau, which connects the railway station to the upper town, alongside neo-Gothic churches and the Musée Bernadotte, located in the childhood home of the Napoleonic general who became King of Sweden.
