Plan Your Visit to Nantes

The Nantes Pass is valid for consecutive days starting from your first use. Most attractions open between 9am and 10am, with closing times varying by season. Allow a full day to explore major sites like the Machines de l'île and Château des Ducs de Bretagne properly.

The pass covers Nantes' entire public transport network, so you can easily travel between attractions. The airport shuttle service operates regular connections to the city centre. Consider visiting popular sites like the Château des Ducs de Bretagne early in the day to avoid crowds, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Your pass also allows day trips beyond the city centre to Loire Valley vineyards or the Atlantic Coast. The paper guide included with your pass provides opening hours, addresses, and practical details for each attraction to help you maximise your time in Nantes.
