Amboise is a little lovely town in Loire Valley. You only need half of the day to visit the whole town, but for the slow traveler like me, I spent one day and one night to enjoy more. And the experience was amazing.
Top 5 places to go in Amboise
- Chateau Royal D’Amboise
- St. Hubert Chapel
- Le Clos Lucé – Leonardo Da Vinci’s palace in Amboise
- Loire river
- Chateau de Chenonceau
Here, you can visit the most well-known landmarks including Amboise castle which offers a stunning view of the city and Le Clos Lucé where Leonardo Da Vinci spent the very last years of his life.

Apart from that, what you can do is to take a leisure walk around the town, have a cup of cappuccino with a croissant, drink champagne or watch the sunset along Loire river. These are definitely more than enough for a wonderful day.
